The billionaires rallying behind Trump after his conviction
The billionaires rallying behind Trump after his conviction
The Trump campaign has seen upticks in fundraising during pivotal moments of his legal battles.
Ultra-wealthy Republican donors are rallying behind former US President Donald Trump following his historic trial and criminal conviction.
Trump, the Republican candidate for this November's White House election, was found guilty of falsifying business records to conceal hush money paid to former adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
While he has lagged behind Joe Biden and the Democrats' fundraising efforts, the conviction injected new life into his electoral bid - with his campaign announcing that it raised nearly $53m (£41.6m) in just 24 hours after the verdict.

Looking through all these short descriptions doesn't surprise me a bit. Trash amongst humanity, parasites etc
I know this is no surprise, but what does it say about a candidate when two people who made fortunes off of catering to gambling addicts being two of Trump's biggest supporters?
They’re gonna trickle down on me for forty days and forty nights any day now I just know it.
These ghouls rushed to distance themselves after Jan 6 when they thought that was the end of Trump, but once again discovered that backing a fascist is better than all other options for them.
When he says if they can come for me they will come for you these are the people he was talking to. That's why they are paying. They want to ensure they are always above the law if they have money.
Sorry, all I heard was, "Oohhh, fucking tax us SOOO hard, daddy!!!"
The billionaires know if he gets elected now they have enough levdridge to get a perpetual get out of jail card.
Trump + billionaire elites
and the political idiots who vote for him are okay with that.
Are we just trusting the known, proven liar who was convicted of fraudulent business financial records when he says that he raised more money because of this?
