EKO HOT BLOG reports that Donald Trump’s campaign announced Friday that it had raised nearly $53 million in online small-dollar donations following his conviction in the New York hush money trial. The campaign claimed that the verdict had galvanized his support “like never before.”
The record fundraising haul averaged over $2 million per hour. Senior campaign aides Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles noted that more than a third of the donations came from new contributors, highlighting an “outpouring of support from patriots across our country.”
Describing the Thursday court decision as a “sham trial verdict,” the advisors reported that the “digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support” despite temporary delays caused by high traffic from small-dollar donors.
By Friday evening, the day’s total had reached $52.8 million.
A jury convicted Trump Thursday on all 34 charges of falsifying business records to cover up a s3x scandal in the final stages of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Prosecutors said Trump had s3x with porn actress Stormy Daniels soon after his wife Melania had given birth in 2006, and then paid hush money a decade later to avoid the fallout and deceive voters, before creating false paperwork to conceal the payment.
He is due for sentencing on July 11 but is expected to appeal the verdict.
“Crooked Joe Biden and the Democrats with their election interference political witch hunt have awakened the MAGA movement like never before,” LaCivita and Wiles said.
President Joe Biden has been at pains to avoid commenting on the trial and there is no evidence that he or his administration had any involvement in the investigation, which was launched by New York state, not the federal government.
Trump’s Conviction
Trump has a long record of turning scandal to his advantage, and his campaign website began redirecting visitors to a fundraising page declaring he was a “political prisoner” moments after he was convicted.
The page crashed for about an hour shortly after launching as a surge of Trump supporters overwhelmed WinRed, the official Republican Party donation platform.
Trump frequently portrays his legal troubles as a fight against the “deep state” and Biden’s administration, positioning himself as a martyr willing to sacrifice his liberty for his supporters.
In April, he compared himself to South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela for the second time and has also likened himself to Jesus Christ.
“WITCH HUNT! IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO ME, IT CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE!,” Trump posted on his platform Truth Social on Friday.
