Trump renting out the phone numbers and emails his supporters gave him... October 15, 2018 6:59 pm RL

Congrats, not only are you a traitor, you are now a commodity!

Now for Rent: Email Addresses and Phone Numbers for Millions of Trump Supporters

In recent weeks, Mr. Trump’s campaign, which is not known for its adherence to political norms, quietly signed a contract with a newly formed Virginia-based company called Excelsior Strategies to market the emails and cellphone numbers — what is known in the political industry as first-party data.

Excelsior is offering the chance to email Mr. Trump’s supporters at a rate of $35 per 1,000 addresses — or more if the renter also wants to push posts into the Facebook timelines of supporters — according to interviews and marketing emails obtained by The New York Times. The firm has also explored the possibility of clients’ being able to send text messages directly to the phones of Mr. Trump’s supporters, according to the marketing emails and interviews.

Those contacts could be of tremendous benefit to Republican candidates or political groups around the country seeking to capitalize on their base’s enthusiasm for the president.
