Local author trolls Trump backers

San Antonio author Shea Serrano is not shy about expressing his distaste for the president on social media and has found a way to troll Donald Trump supporters who purchase his short story.

In a “secret” email to those who purchased his latest literary work and audio book, the three-time New York Times bestselling author said those who back the president have now unknowingly donated to organizations not in line with their beliefs.

After buying Serrano’s work, the author said some of the Trump supporters have sent him messages like “go back to Mexico” or they “don’t support abortion” but wish Serrano’s mom had gotten one.

Serrano, however, found a way to get back at his detractors.

Serrano searched his customer database to find out how much money the vocal Trump supporters had spent on his materials and then donated half of it to RAICES — an organization that fights against Trump’s policies at the border — and the other half went to Planned Parenthood.

If that wasn’t enough, he made the donation under their names and included them on the organizations’ emailing lists.

“Thanks for supporting immigrant rights and pro choice rights, lol. Viva Mexico,” he wrote in his email.

Many fans applauded the author’s actions and some even donated to the organizations themselves.

Serrano is known to help individuals and organizations in need, often sharing on his social media accounts the donations he makes to followers and a wide variety of non-profit organizations.

He was recently recognized by former President Barack Obama for his efforts to help out the community during the coronavirus pandemic.
