PAY JONATHAN - TIPS WELCOME
Donation protected
To the fans of my satire Donald J Trump Facebook page: THANK YOU!
I have resisted doing any type of GoFundMe for the last 6 years because I didn’t do this for money or fame, but enough of you have made me think it’s time to put one put there, and I don’t believe this will actually go anywhere, but here’s the deal:
I am hoping to get a job writing for Stephen Colbert in New York, which is a long way from Dallas Texas, and I don’t worship money, so I’m constantly broke. Like, I don’t care about cars and mansions and shit. But I can’t move to New York (if I’m lucky enough to get a job offer... which I’m totally NOT holding my breath about) on $3,000, which is about how much I can muster if I’m to be given a chance at writing. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE:
So, here’s my plan: Whether I get a job offer or not, I’d like to start up a small business where I sell anti-Trump/anti-fascism merch that promotes ideas and candidates that don’t want to see this travesty repeated in 2024. Humor/satire is the best way I know to reach people, and you guys are starting to make me think I can make a living at this.
Half of what you send me will have to be paid in taxes, and the some will be given to the other two writers that have helped me, so if you want me to have $100K for this project, you gotta send me more than double that (again, I expect this GoFundMe to go absolutely nowhere, but I’m okay with being pleasantly surprised).
Top donors will be offered a partnership in this (because I can’t do this alone) and if this turns out to be a giant flop, that’s okay. Honestly, I don’t expect anything to come of this. But if 800,000 fans gave $1, this could become a reality REALLY quickly.
So, if you wanna see what comes next, donate. Think of it as a tip for 5+ years of entertainment. If you don’t wanna give anything, that’s cool too.
There will be some trump supporters, trolls, and bots saying how pathetic it is that I even posted this, but we won’t know if they’re right until all of you make a decision whether to donate or not. Maybe they’re right, but if that sweet sweet cash starts rolling in, every dollar will show them how wrong they are and how much you guys really love this style of satire/humor.
If I get an offer with Colbert and my contract forbids this, I’ll just donate it to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, because, again, I’d rather work for Colbert than get a free handout.
Regardless of what you decide, thank you for following this page. It’s been fun, and I’m glad to have the opportunity to entertain you. MAKE ME A MILLIONAIRE! jk
P.S. Drop some comments with merch ideas you’d like to see!
