He would raise so much. They’re probably looking for funds as we speak.

Come on. He’s been bleeding his followers for years, begging for their dollars every chance he ever has. People who support him financially are either brain dead garbage people who would pay him to piss in their mouths, or conniving assholes, actively trying to destroy democracy for their own (perceived) gain.

Conviction and sentencing is only going to make life structurally harder for Trump. Whatever he or his traitor-lackeys pretend, this is awful for him.

The striking thing about true MAGA supporters is how willingly they give up their money to the Trump scam.

Let the MAGAs go poor supporting Trump. They do it willingly. let them suffer.

He must think it is a fortune!!! He’s been trying to goad Merchan into put him in jail since the first day of the trial.

A F%*&ing boatload of Micky Dee’s cheeseburgers and plastic bottles of Diet Coke and the other half on lawyer’s fees (maybe more penalties due to be paid to E. Jean Carrol). !

@mazingerz88 ~ Who says that crime doesn’t pay?

^^He would make more money playing the poor persecuted victim. He’s quite good at that. Not sure why he is opting to be President instead.

@mazingerz88 He loves the power.

^^Loves playing powerful yet when facing consequences plays the victim. Nothing can be more pathetic. Or in the minds of some people…nothing can be more presidential. Bizzaro America indeed.

I would be getting a strong Lex Luthor vibe from Trump if he wasn’t so comical. Both are into real estate, and both were president of the USA.

How ever much Trump can convince his sheep he needs.
It is VERY telling, that his base complains about economic destruction, and not being able to afford gas, but those same people are flipping couch cushions for lunch money because they send money to their God King.

His followers, are often religious.
People actively participating in organized religion, are accustomed to giving their hard earned money to entities that don’t need it.

If you can’t afford gas, and hate $15 Happy Meals, then the last two things you should be doing are financially supporting a omnipotent being that has ultimate power, or a billionaire running from his responsibilities.

I just heard on TV that Lara Trump, the Chair of the RNC, said that 70 million was raised in the 48 hours after his conviction.

@jca2 All Trumps lie. So if Lara said $70 million, it’s closer to 30.
