Who even had his charity shut down for fraud. Too many scams to keep track of.
That’s clearly been his strategy. Flood the zone so the big crimes are less noticeable, or less shocking.
These people are so fucking stupid....
What's that law about profiting from a crime?
That's fine, let them waste their money on the orange turd and not give it down ballot. He's still going to lose, again
Most of that will be channeled to pay his civil fines, etc. I doubt the RNC or any state GOP committee is going to see much from it.
Silver linings and all that..
His commissary is gonna be LIT
We will see if he survives shorting a fellow inmate three cigs.
Edit - actually I think I owe both Heath Ledger and the fictional character he was playing an apology now... feels dirty.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A CBS News analysis of the Trump campaign's fundraising through April found he has received an influx in donations following key moments in his legal battles.
He likewise saw a bump when a different judge in New York ordered him to pay $454 million in fines and interest in his civil fraud case in February.
FEC filings show Democrats have more cash on hand, but an influx of donations following his conviction could help Trump catch up.
Trump's ads in the wake of the verdict echo the theme of his rhetoric throughout the trial: that the charges against him were part of a politically motivated effort by Democrats to weaken his campaign.
One of his most widely viewed ads prior to his conviction repeated the falsehood that the trial was spearheaded by the Biden administration, when in fact it was a state case prosecuted by the Manhattan district attorney.
Trump is now doubling down on the narrative, urging those who visit his WinRed donation page to "NEVER SURRENDER" under a photo of the mugshot that previously helped him raise millions.
The original article contains 593 words, the summary contains 180 words. Saved 70%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Down ballot GOP in shambles 😭😭😭
Lol Cucked his own party like always.
Is this just a new fancy way of saying money laundering?
