An online fundraiser for former President Donald Trump has racked up $84,354 out of a $355 million target in just 24 hours following the final judgement in his civil fraud trial in New York.
On Friday, Trump was fined roughly $355 million by New York Judge Arthur Engoron following a monthslong trial. The trial was to determine how much Trump and his associates would pay after New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a lawsuit in September 2022 accusing the former president, his two adult sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, The Trump Organization and two firm executives, Allen Weisselberg and Jeff McConney of fraudulently overvaluing assets to secure more favorable bank loans and taxation deals.
The former president was also barred from doing business in New York for three years. Other defendants in the case also faced financial penalties and were banned from doing business in New York for periods of time. Meanwhile, Trump, who is the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential election, has denied any wrongdoing and claims the case was politically motivated.
I hope someone is carefully monitoring these donations to determine origin…
Man, i want some of that sweet rube money.
If hypothetically, i created a gofundme that said something along the lines of ‘help support me support trump’ and it had a bunch of weasel words that sounded supportive of him but just boiled down to me using the money to pay my bills while thinking about supportive scaffolding, would that be illegal?
Reminds me of when the PS3 first went on sale and people sold pictures of a PS3 on eBay. The title said it was a picture, the content said it was a picture, but people were impatient, didn’t read and bought the auctions. I thought that was a bit manipulative then, but I would not feel bad if people did this to Trump supporters. IANAL but I don’t think it’s illegal as long as you don’t say you’ll do something and then not do it.
Plenty of dudes have already beaten you to the punch. They blast people with texts that all go to fake donor sites like winred.com that then beg you to make $3,300 donations.
Hell, winred.com is just as much the same scam.

Winred still operates.
Doesn’t mean you can’t make more.
With $15 (for domain and hosting), you too can funnel money from MAGA with a donation site to “help”!
I wonder if you could astro turf the hell out of this. Go deeper. Make it fun!
Make a fake identity for your company’s parent company that parodies this guy https://gerritlansing.org/about-2/. Hire an actor on fiver to be red white and blue all over, set up your secret island bank accounts in the Seychelles and then go full Kojima mode lalilulelo, metal gear?! nanomachies?! etc etc.
It could be self funding ARG that protects its “fraud” as an artistic work. Qanons would eat it up.
I think winred has inserted themselves into the RepubliQan donation scam, too. I think campaigns are required to use them.
Mannnn 'course it’s already a thing…
Thanks for the info
Lol look at his cute little tiny fist
Oh man, they raised 0.024% of the judgement in 24 hours! ((84,000/350,000,000)*100 to yield percent)
If they manage to do that once a day every year, it’ll only take them (350,000,000/84,000/365) 11 years to pay if off!
The goal, ha!
$45/avg grift (least this time the fund’s purpose isn’t buried in the fine print)
How much does gofundme charge for their service?
There’s no fee to start or manage your fundraiser. However, to help us operate safely and securely, one small transaction fee (2.9% + $0.30, which includes debit and credit charges) per donation is deducted.
Very fair, same as PayPal and perhaps Stripe. But they’ll need a few extra million.
Almost there.
A foreign payment takes few days to clear…
Perhaps the MAGA base is finally running out of money for their champion to piss away. Though if they had any more, I’m sure Trump would be willing to spend to his very last supporter.
If my math is correct, at that rate, he only has a little less than 11 years to go at that rate to raise the target amount!
Nah, I read in another thread that interest on it was beyond that, but at about 5%, that’s nearly 50k/day.
Compound interest is complicated but I figure at least 30 years if $84k per day holds up. Of course Don only has a few years left so why would the donations keep coming?
Because he’s going to pass the torch to one of his kids and his idiot followers will probably believe he transferred his soul into him too.
Judgements in NY State have an interest rate of 9%. And he has to pay it within 30 days. This isn’t going to raise that much and it’ll be stolen anyway.
Meaning they’d better ramp it up a little closer to $12m daily to get there on time. That is, if the platform do not wake up and enforce its own rules.
Holy fuck the alleged billionaire needs a Go fund me. Pull your finger out of your ass bud, you’re spare parts.
Still 84K too much
Trump literally wouldn’t even qualify for a Secret/L.
84K that isn’t going to go into a superPAC, to another candidate, to the RNC, or get spent to campaign for trump.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

Cardone called herself “an ardent supporter of American values and an advocate for justice” who stands “unwaveringly with President Donald Trump” on the fundraising page.
“Let’s stand with Trump to ensure that justice prevails and that we continue to fight for a country that respects freedom, honors courage, and rewards the unwavering spirit of its people.”
His lawyer Christopher Kise told Newsweek that Trump plans to appeal the judge’s ruling in James’ “unjust political crusade against the front-running candidate for President of the United States.”
The original article contains 548 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I can’t wait until he launches his competitor to Star Citizen.
So if you divide it out, that’s 0.0023% of the fine.
Today’s goal is $600,000,000, we just need to sell enough magazine subscriptions and all of our food stamps. This is totally achievable! Now let’s get out there and support the TRUE 51TH PRESIDENT!
