REVIEW THIS HANDY TRILLIONAIRES STARTER KIT. (If the kit doesn’t answer all your questions, email T$T HQ at trillionairefortrump@gmail.com).  We can also help with efforts to secure media coverage of your extravagance.  

MESSAGING YOU CAN USE: 

In “Trillionaire” character:

• Offer taxpayers the IRS form 8302 to process the electronic transfer of their $1 million tax return.  What?  They aren’t getting a $1 million tax return?  Clearly they are not one of Trump’s Very, Very, Very Few.  

• Thank you for sending in your hard earned dollars so we can get the tax cuts we deserve!

• If it takes shredding your Social Security and hollowing out your Medicare to get us billionaires our tax cuts—well, that’s a sacrifice we’re willing for everyone else to make.

• Thank you for paying our fair share!

• The arc of history is long but it bends towards oligarchy… because we paid it to.

• We billionaires are there for Trump, because boy is he sure there for us.

• Who needs a Department of Transportation when you have your own private jet?

• To those who say big money should be kept out of politics, we say show me where in the Constitution it calls for a separation of cash and state!

• We bought this government fair and square!

• Social security - make it neither.

• Government of the Billionaires, for the Billionaires, and by the Billionaires. 

• Why don’t you all file online? We should be closing this post office to increase my return.

Chants!

$ Trillionaires, United, Will Never Be Indicted!     

$ Tax cuts for me, not my maid!

$ No Taxes! No Fees! Let us hoard our luxuries!  

$ You say recession - we say fire sale!

$ Whose yachts? Our yachts!

$ Wealthcare, not healthcare!      

$ Hey! Ho! Living wage’s got to go!      

$ You say “Hands Off!”, We say “Fingers In!”

$ Tariffs: Taxes on the little people      

Some straight talking points for when you step out of character:

So the real reason we are here…

• 150 billionaire families donated at least $1.9 billion to PACs and super PACs during the 2024 election. 

• Now, Trump’s proposed tax plan stands to save the wealthiest 5% of Americans an average of $36,000 per year, while at the same time raising taxes for the working class and even the poorest 20% of Americans.

• These cuts reduce federal income by $5.6-$11 trillion over 10 years

• The money to fund these billionaire windfalls will have to come from cutting public programs - Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, educational grants, etc.

• Proposals include repealing tax credits passed under the Inflation Reduction Act that provide incentives for the production and use of green energy.

• America’s largest, consistently profitable corporations saw their effective tax rates fall from an average of 22.0 percent to an average of 12.8 percent after the Trump’s last tax law went into effect 

Some considerations for your action:

• Think about your Billionaire persona - how would they interact with the world?  We recommend playful, flirty, joyful.  You have money, not worries or anger!

• How might you pity or look down upon everyday Americans?

• Remember you own…everything.  

• Capturing great pictures and video is the best way to extend the reach of your action.  

• Make sure you look your finest - stick plastic bags, extra papers, etc. behind you or out of shot. 

• Make sure signs are professional and visible.

• Pose with a great background: A recognizable landmark.   A simple, clean background.  More and more Billionaires.

• Would you be among and communing with other protestors, or keeping apart as the counter protestor you are?

ACTION DOs & DON’Ts

DO…

$ Focus on economic issues and corporate takeover of democracy.

$ Memorize and repeat 3-5 facts.  Repetition and simplicity are essential -  a concise sound bite is harder for someone to distort.

$ Repeat the name.  Trillionaires for Trump ‘hardwires’ the word ‘trillionaire’ to ‘Trump’. It should be put up front and center in all materials and repeated in all communications.

$ Be witty.  This energizes activists, engages people, and attracts media.

$ Use irony as a Trojan Horse, then step out of character.  Use irony to win attention, then break character to explain the message in plain terms. 

$ Hold a tone of admiration for Trump – a president who totally understand the needs of ordinary billionaires and our humble aspirations to be trillionaires.

$ Attend to your “visual message”.  Always be mindful of how you’re presenting yourself to the cameras. Everyone should be in Trillionaire attire, or dressed as one of our staff (butler, chauffeur, secretary, horse trainer, etc.). 

DON’T…

$ DON’T fall into the trap of simply playing an obnoxious rich person.  Our goal is to highlight how Trump and his loyalists take very good care of corporate interests and the super wealthy at the expense of ordinary Americans. Take the time to prepare yourself to talk about why, as one of the super wealthy, you support Trump.

$ DON’T be condescending towards ordinary Americans. Avoid language like ‘suckers’ and ‘little people’.  Allow people to laugh with you as you poke your finger in the eye of the President, playing his biggest fan.

$ DON’T get trapped talking about cultural issues or issues that divide the left - they do not affect our bank accounts.

$ DON’T describe opponents as liberals.  It’s middle class interests we’re fighting. We’re there to hold forth against “the great unwashed middle class masses.”

$ DON’T be a mock racist. To handle race in a humorous way requires a high level of artistry. Don’t risk it.

$ DON’T put down other protestors/activists.  When speaking out of character to a reporter about how we use a unique approach to protest, it’s important to acknowledge that we are different, but not better. In fact we often depend on the presence of more traditional protestors to serve as our foils.

$ DON’T make Billionaires seem all powerful.  We don’t want to exacerbate apathy and resignation. Instead, we can empower our audience by expressing frustration at “setbacks” like environmental restrictions, expansion of healthcare with the ACA, or other citizens’ initiatives.
