New York Judge Engoron fined Trump $355 million on Friday after the former president was found liable of business fraud.
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.
Any Trump supporters out there, I want you to think about something.
One of the reasons you originally supported Trump is that he was supposedly rich enough to fund his own campaign. Then you sent him - supposedly a man worth $10 billion at one point - piles of money. He begged you for it over and over. He needed your help to fight the system, to "stop the steal," to "make America great again," and you gladly opened your wallets without ever wondering why a billionaire needed your money and couldn't fund his campaigns on his own.
That billionaire now has a GoFundMe. Roll that around in your head. He has a GoFundMe because he can't (or won't) spend his own earned income as a billionaire real-estate tycoon to settle judgments against him that - by his own claims - amount to roughly 1/20th his net worth.
Why? Try to explain why in a way that doesn't make you sound like the world's biggest sucker and the victim of a con artist.
The GoFundMe is run by a random follower of his. Remember that guy who was raising money to pay for the wall and then just took the money and disappeared?
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 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?
Assuming every day the same donations pour in, it'll take about 4,227 days:
355,000,000/84,000 = 4,226.19047619
That many days divided by 365 means about 11.5 years to reach that goal.
4,226.19047619/365 = 11.5786040444
77 + 11 =88, so he'll probably be 89 before he's out of debt, assuming no other financial penalties from lawsuits happen. Or he could declare bankruptcy...
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!
When you're funding your successful billionaire businessman president to pay his court fees on the same platform used to pay for people's medical bills do you ever think maybe capitalism might have failed us?
Ah yea, anonymous donors. Daddy putin I need an injection reeeeeal bad right about now. Ive kept the congress from sending money and weapons to ukraine like you asked.

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."
