Trump breaks fundraising record after guilty verdict

Donald Trump news

The former US president’s campaign has raised over $1 million for each of the 34 criminal charges.

Donald Trump’s re-election campaign has reportedly raised over $34 million since the former US president was found guilty on 34 felony counts in New York, in a trial he denounced as a politically motivated witch hunt.

A Manhattan jury agreed with prosecutors that Trump’s reimbursements to his lawyer for an alleged “hush money” payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels amounted to fraudulent bookkeeping and 2016 election interference.

“I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG!” a fundraising email sent by Trump’s campaign after the verdict was announced. “But with your support at this moment in history, WE WILL WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE AND MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

A statement from the Trump campaign on Friday proved a prediction by Republican strategist Matthew Bartlett that the GOP base would donate a million dollars for every count of the New York indictment, correct, if not conservative.

“From just minutes after the sham trial verdict was announced, our digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support, and despite temporary delays online because of the amount of traffic. President Trump raised $34.8 million dollars from small-dollar donors,” campaign advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles announced.

“Not only was the amount historic, but 29.7% of yesterday’s donor’s were brand new to the WinRed platform,” they added. “Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats with their election interference political witch hunt have awakened the MAGA movement like never before.”

The $34.8 million haul was “nearly double” the biggest ever recorded by the Trump campaign, Wiles and LaCivita added. WinRed was so overwhelmed by the new donors that it briefly crashed on Thursday evening.

According to Politico, Trump had only $49 million in cash at the end of April, compared to President Joe Biden’s $84 million war chest. US laws limit the maximum individual contribution to a campaign to $3,300.

Trump is the first-ever former US president to be convicted of a felony. Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled the sentencing hearing for July 11, the eve of the Republican National Convention. Trump faces up to four years in prison for each charge, but his campaign has said he would appeal the verdict, and that the real judgment will be delivered by the American people at the ballot box on November 5.

    • Yes, but that leads me to believe that the core of the onion has a plan that does not involve Trump.
      The core?
      The core has constructed in convoluted and corrupted manner many many layers which the top appear to be the ‘elite’, yet cunningly designed since the inception of the (private) Central Banking system to hide the core,
      At that means total chaos.
      But THAT’s EXACTLY what that core wants.

  1. He’ll be put under some form of house arrest or Home D, but the muppet Democrats dont understand that will only increase his popularity even more

  2. How long before we get any resolution of these arguments?
    Wasn’t Trump supposed to release all hidden or Redacted documents relating to this event? And the Kennedy assassination too.
    Why did he not do so?
    Will he do it this time?

    • You know, after watching this video, the USA might just find there is a real nasty 1861-1865 type problem coming their way. It has been seen before. It has many names. The fed up call it a revolution or civil war. Those in power call it a coup, a coup d’ etat, a military coup d’ etat. If they stop Trump from standing for president, falsify the votes again, I think it will be a civil war between states against each other. Split states, will fight each other. Now I know why the recently imported fighting aged Middle East men were allowed to enter the USA, fed, housed and paid. All that remains is to arm them.

      • I think this scenario of civil war is very plausible.
        Only, the one pushed forward to fight are rarely the ones benefiting from it.
        But it would be an occasion to clean the swamp and the Washington District of Criminals and get rid of J****ish influence. But first people would have to be made aware of what happened for ex. on 9/11 and who were the behind it.
