its as if the targeting of a political opponent with unprecedented lawfare stirs some people up.

The WinRed fundraising platform the former president’s 2024 campaign uses crashed following the jury’s verdict, reportedly because of a surge in interest and donations. The jury found Trump guilty of all 34 nebulous counts of falsifying business records filed by far-left prosecutor Alvin Bragg, who campaigned for the office on a platform of going after Trump.

Billed as a “hush money” trial on alleged payments made to a pornographer, Bragg performed extralegal alchemy in transforming a languishing misdemeanor charge into a federal campaign finance felony.
Not even the conflicted judge in the case, a donor to President Joe Biden’s campaign, seemed to fully understand the charges but knew enough to block an elections law expert from testifying that there was no crime.
What Americans — and the world — witnessed over the past several weeks was a Soviet-style show trial against Biden’s political opponent and the left’s public enemy No. 1. The stuff of banana republics. They got what they wanted: hanging the albatross of “convicted felon” around Trump’s neck as he looks to chase Biden from the White House and the swamp creatures from the federal government, even though the former president is immediately appealing the guilty verdict.

For some independents and “mean tweet”-averse Republicans who grew weary of Trump in 2020, nearly 3.5 years of political weaponization of the executive branch has them yearning for a simpler time.

Poet Joseph Massey told X Land that he “was never all in for Trump, always on the fence,” but Thursday was a game-changer.

“I know I’m not alone. We do not live in a Democracy anymore. Trump is our only shot at regaining the country we’ve lost to anti-American scum,” Massey posted.

The illustrious Jonnie Burrito replied: “I dont like him either but…… I will be going door to door in my county to make sure everyone as possible votes for Trump and the Republicans in November. Vote all Dems out! That’s my new motto.”

Jon Tveten added, “At this point, we really don’t need a nice guy.”

About 15 minutes after the verdict came down, tech investor Shaun Maguire, partner with Sequoia Capital, said he donated $300,000 to the Trump campaign. The timing, he said, was not a coincidence. Maguire said he had “drunk the media Kool-Aid” on Trump in 2016 and contributed to and voted for Hillary Clinton. He said he was disillusioned in 2020 and didn’t vote for Trump or Biden.

“Now, in 2024, I believe this is one of the most important elections of my lifetime, and I’m supporting Trump,” the 1-percenter wrote on his X account. “I know that I’ll lose friends for this. Some will refuse to do business with me. The media will probably demonize me, as they have so many others before me. But despite this, I still believe it’s the right thing to do.”

Not only are there record donations, but a large number of new donors, too...

Trump campaign raises record $34.8 million in donations after guilty verdict

The Trump campaign said Friday it nearly doubled its single-day fundraising record after a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty in his criminal hush money trial.

The Republican’s campaign said it raised $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in less than seven hours following the historic verdict Thursday afternoon, in which Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Nearly 30% of those donors were brand new to the Trump donation site WinRed, senior campaign advisors Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles said in a press release.

The top aides echoed Trump’s post-trial vow that the “real verdict” will come on Election Day, Nov. 5.

Well if that is true he gave $300k to Trump, Sean is guilty of making an illegal campaign contribution, the limit is $3,300 per candidate per year.
