President Donald Trump has received a massive influx in donations by disputing the results of the 2020 presidential race, which was won by President-elect Joe Biden.
President Trumps political operation has raised more than $150 million since Election Day, using a blizzard of misleading appeals about the election to shatter fundraising records set during the campaign, The Washington Post reported Monday, citing people with knowledge of the contributions.
The influx of political donations is one reason Trump and some allies are inclined to continue a legal onslaught and public affairs blitz focused on baseless claims of election fraud, even as their attempts have repeatedly failed in court and as key states continue to certify wins for President-elect Joe Biden, the newspaper noted. Much of the money raised since the election is likely to go into an account for the president to use on political activities after he leaves office, while some of the contributions will go toward whats left of the legal fight.

He will continue to do it after he leaves. As long as his cult listens to him he will rip them off. He will make sure his name is in the news due to his ego as well. Money and ego are the reasons why he does anything. Be will hold rallies and charge admission, he will invent events and BS causes, sell tRump products, etc and bleed people dry and they will happily fork over their last dollars. Fools and their money.....

And he'll continue to make millions trolling the shit out of Joe Biden for the next 4 years.

rather than legitimate political activities, hes going straight to jail.
Please take the term legitimate legal activities loosely. Trump has never conducted an actual legitimate political activity.
