Have a dollar to burning a hole in your pocket? If you can spare a buck to Donald Trump for President, then your name will appear on a special livestream of Trump's State of the Union address, according to a new campaign solicitation.

Just 30 minutes before the start of the State of the Union, the Trump campaign sent a text message to supporters urging them to donate and in return, have their names displayed on a special livestream.   

"This is a movement. It's not about just one of us. It's about ALL of us. Which is why your name deserves to be on President Trump's State of the Union supporter list," the message said. 

Suggested donations range from from $25 to $2,700, but the page includes a link to determine your own amount. 

This is the second year the campaign has used the State of the Union as a campaign solicitation. 

Trump has been in a permanent campaign since he announced his first presidential run in 2015. His campaign filed for re-election the day after his inauguration in January 2017 and Trump has held several campaign-style rallies across red states since taking office.
