Trump campaign texts are being flagged as spam

Trump's reelection campaign is reportedly clashing with wireless carriers Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile over whether its text messages should be blocked as spam.

What happened to the text messages?

The Trump campaign sent more than 1 million messages, flagging the monitors that carriers employ to block spam. As a result, the Trump program was taken offline.

Now you're off the Trump good person list.

Maybe they'll relent if you send them money even it it's late.

You still have a chance. (Don't take it.)

I get them every day. I block them but they come from a different number every time and T-Mobile isn't blocking them. It's tempting to reply "fuck you" or donate .05 but I'm afraid it will bring on more messages.

I found them hilarious and then boring so I took myself off of the list.

*I downloaded the Trump2020 app and OK'd getting texts just to see what they'd be like after reading about them.
