Did Trump donations really increase after he said he would be indicted this past Tuesday? Or is this just more "Fake News" from the Left?

I heard from some Lefty that Trump's donations increased radically after he announced that he would be indicted on Tuesday. I'll have to do some research to see if there's any truth to this. Could Trump have used his impending indictment as an "advertising technique" to get more money from his supporters? In any case, I'm close to "Trumped out" at this point. I think I'll post this, find something happy happy joy joy to write about, and do my research later. Photo is of tree debris on my balcony after one of our wind storms. The tree still stands.

Of course he did. He is the King of the Grifters. I find it hilarious that the MAGA morons simultaneously believe he is a billionaire but also that he needs their money. And they are stupid enough to send it to them

I always thought it was interesting as well. If he’s so rich, why does he have to keep begging his supporters for more money?

I was T’d out a long time ago, to tell you the truth. The problem is, his minions are running around. We have a guy running for governor who was just convicted of a bunch of misdemeanors and said those crimes don’t matter.

That might be why he made up that he would be arrested. So he could get some money from his supporters.

I cannot verify it because I have not seen details of it, but my guess would be yes. You have to keep in mind that despite what the media has told us time and time again, support for Trump remains strong and only grows stronger the more he is a perceived target of the government itself. How can anyone trust a government that treats a former president this way? How can anyone trust a government that treated a sitting president this way? How can anyone trust any investigation as legitimate when every investigation before it turned out to be untrue, unprovable and even completely made up (Russia collusion comes to mind). How can anyone trust a government that seeks to impeach a sitting president time after time, with the first effort being made BEFORE he even took office? The thought becomes "he was onto something." The thought becomes "he knows something." The thought becomes "the establishment and the career politicians are damn afraid of what he can expose." The American people think this too. Granted, not everyone. But a large number of people have to start to question, "What IS it about this guy everyone is so hell bent on silencing and stopping and putting down?" There has never, in the history of our country, been a more concentrated effort to completely remove someone as they have tried to do with Trump. There HAS to be a reason, and it's not about Trump at all. It's about the establishment. The deep state. The bureaucracy. I'm telling you, people gotta think. The more they try to wipe Trump out the stronger he gets. And the bad part? They don't realize it. Trump threatened the establishment, and if there is any crime he is guilty of...it's that one.

I heard that the "protection" of Trump from prosecution for his crimes may be because he is an inf*rmant to government agencies about organized crime activities. But my source is not reliable (or unreliable).

@porwest Is Trump gonna expose the Deep State from prison? I was wondering why he keeps putting it off but now it seems clear. Doing it from his cell will have a bigger impact.

I find the whole thing odd. I am old enough to remember Ronald Reagan. I disagreed with many of his policies, and I was aware that he was senile during his second term, but I could see how he was like a "reassuring good Grandpa" to many Americans. But Donald Trump has never seemed "good" or "reassuring" in any way. And I do NOT believe he is senile, in spite of what some Lefties say. He has been semi-literate and a criminal for decades. Perhaps his whole life.

@TheHorse From what I’ve been seeing, his indictment is actually solidifying his base of supporters. If the prosecutors aren’t careful, they may just end up getting him re-elected next year.

Why not? People are free to give publicly, transparently, to whoever they wish to give. The donors neither steal the money nor engaged in corruption to give to their choice of candidate--Trump.

@everwonderwhy Because the legal system here generally lets high profile white collar criminals go if they are not a flight risk. I am with them. I do not think Trump will flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia. He is too proud for that.

@TheHorse Haven't Trump-haters been announcing in the news everywhere of his "sure indictment, impeachment x3, pending arrest, imprisonment" since 2016? People choose to donate/give hard-earned honest money, anyway, to their choice of candidate whether Trump is arrested or not arrested. So, since CNN and others, and Biden's top appointee DOJ have been bragging about Trump's arrest, what happened? Why isn't he in prison yet?
