Billionaire Donald Trump appears to have asked a British MP for money for his American Presidential campaign – and got a stinging rebuke in return.
Glasgow East MP Natalie McGarry was amazed to receive an email apparently from Trump’s son mentioning an earlier message from his dad, accusing “Crooked Hillary” of “fraud and lies” and asking: “Please donate right now to help my father Make America Great Again.”
So she emailed back to say she would not be donating to Make America Great Again but would instead be sending her “warm hope” that Mr Trump’s “repugnant campaign” failed. Then she published both emails on Twitter for the enjoyment of her 16,000 followers.
 here is her response...

A number of British MPs – and their counterparts in Iceland and Australia – have been on the receiving end of “tedious” emails from Donald Trump’s team in recent days asking for campaign donations for the Republican presidential hopeful.
On Tuesday this week Conservative MP Roger Gale appealed to the Speaker of the Commons, saying: “Members of Parliament are being bombarded by electronic communications from Team Trump on behalf of somebody called Donald Trump.
“Mr Speaker, I’m all in favour of free speech but I don’t see why colleagues on either side of the House should be subjected to intemperate spam.
“Efforts to try to have these deleted have failed. I wonder if you’d be kind enough to intercede with the Digital Services Department to see if they may be blocked.”
In one of the spam emails, Trump pledges to personally match every dollar donated in a 48 hour period, making it the “most successful introductory fundraising email in modern political history”.

Dear @nytimes, could you pass a message to @realDonaldTrump for me? Please stop sending campaign begging letters to MPs. It's pathetic!

Speaker John Bercow said in response: “May I commiserate with the Honourable Gentleman who has undergone as far as I can tell an irritating and some might think exceptionally tedious experience...
“All Honourable Members, I know, receive large numbers of emails and will have devised ways of dealing with the flow.
"However, while this is not directly a point of order for the chair, I do not think it is acceptable that Members should be bombarded with emails of which the content is offensive. I will ensure that Members of the Parliamentary Digital Service, who I know have the facility to block certain types of email, are made aware of this issue.”

In recent days, as the U.K. pondered its future in the European Union and presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump waded in with a press conference on his Scottish golf course, the Scottish National Party’s 54 members of the British Parliament received multiple emails from Trump’s campaign, soliciting donations for his presidential bid — a possible violation of U.S. campaign finance laws, they say.
“They’ve been getting these emails for the past week,” SNP staffer Christopher Mullins-Silverstein told Fusion. “Ever since he came to Scotland.”
Records provided to Fusion show that the emails actually started last Wednesday, the day before Britons voted to leave the E.U. in a historic referendum — and just before Trump arrived in the Scottish lowlands to promote his golf resort and praise the Brexit vote, with awkward results.
The donation emails sent to the MPs include one in which Trump praises British voters for opting to leave the E.U. “These voters stood up for their nation — they put the United Kingdom first, and they took their country back,” it states, linking to a donation site and adding: “Will you stand with me at this critical time?” (Nearly two-thirds of Scots voted against leaving the E.U.; many Scots, led by left-leaning SNP politicians, are now calling for independence from the rest of the U.K. for Scotland.)
The emails themselves appear to be boilerplate donation solicitations, familiar to political journalists, and emailed automatically to any email address registered with the Trump campaign through its website. The MPs reported receiving the emails — at least four apiece — in the inboxes of their public-facing email accounts, listed on the U.K. Parliament’s website.
“Have received a few of these – I assumed the campaign just added us en [masse], but it could have been done maliciously,” MP Peter Grant wrote of the Trump emails. “Had to dig this out of the trash, they are bog-standard campaign spam.”
