Someone signed me up for Trump emails. I unsubscribed, which just sent them all to spam. I’ve gotten 86 emails from this so far this month

"it may take up to 30 business days* to complete the unsubscription process. We apologize for unwanted emails during this time.

*The Trump campaign uses Venus Days to calculate expected response times."

Just create a filter and boom they're gone. I created 10 filters and gone from 15k emails to just 3k

Maybe your cousin’s uncle’s sister’s trans wife’s mother’s father’s stepfather was American

I'm just going to say it, those emails sound like he has a middle school crush on you. "you + president trump", "what are you doing?", "Can I call you?", "Can you keep a secret?", "You're one of the best!"

Expect a collage where he's written his name with your last name in the mail soon.

Seems like a yandere, too. "Less than 4 months left!" sounds vaugely threatening

There’s one further down that says “Hilary Clinton. She just won’t go away!”

Sounds like he's a little jealous.

I didn’t even sign up and I’m getting scam texts trying to get me to donate 42 dollars...

I'm getting them from Biden I've unsubscribed twice! Plus other politicians I've never even heard of. Why do politicians think spamming uninterested people is a good idea?!

Can we all just agree that SPAM in general is an asshole design and doesn't need to be posted?

Newt Gingrich sends me emails. Every time I read one, I picture him getting a blowie from his now current wife while still married to his previous wife and impeaching Clinton for infidelity.

I would respond to the one asking "can you keep a secret" by saying yes I can, what about you Donnie?

One of the emails says "You + President Trump"

My mind is going places I do not want it to go...

I used to get the same crap from the Kamala Harris campaign. I never once interacted with her campaign. I'm registered independent specifically to avoid getting contacted by anyone's campaign. But every day I'd get two or three emails, usually begging for contributions. I pleaded with them to stop sending me emails, but it didn't stop until her campaign ended.

Campaigns get voter lists from state election officials. They're not supposed to spam every voter on the list, but I guess they occasionally get over zealous campaign workers.
