A special post for those of you who were waiting for Trump to monetize his potential indictment.

Donald Trump wants his '74 million' supporters to sign a petition railing against his potential arrest. Those who sign it are asked to donate $3,300 and more.

Former President Donald Trump asked his followers to sign a petition denouncing his potential arrest in New York. But signing this petition leads people straight to a page where they're asked to give $3,300 or other suggested amounts of cash to his 2024 campaign.

Upon clicking the petition link in the message, recipients are taken to a page asking for donations to "help DEFEND our America First movement during these dark times."

The message says supporters can donate any amount, but suggests sums like $500, $1,000, and $3,300, among others.

The Trump campaign also claims that donations via this form will yield a "1,500%" impact, but doesn't explain how Trump will do this. He often promises donors that he will multiply the effectiveness of their cash donations many times.

Mar-a-Lago has PLENTY of space for you to pitch a tent! Maybe you'll get to meet You-Know-Who! Wouldn't that be worth it?

Hate is their religion. Trump is their messenger.

Trump will keep passing the collection plate until they’ve run out of blood, then he’ll sell their husks to someone like DeSantis.

"His campaign is like a get-rich-quick scheme gone bad!"

Donald, I'll send you $1,000.

You get the 700% match, making it $8,000 total. You send me back $3,000 and keep the $5,000. I will verify that you improved my economy and you get $5,000 that you did not have before.

Win/win for both of us.

I'm not greedy.

You get more than half.
