Trump rakes in millions off FBI search at Mar-a-Lago

Former president Donald Trump bombarded his supporters with more than 100 emails asking for money based on the FBI’s search of the Mar-a-Lago Club for classified materials last week. They paid off.

Contributions to Trump’s political action committee topped $1 million on at least two days after the Aug. 8 search of his Palm Beach, Fla., estate, according to two people familiar with the figures. The daily hauls jumped from a level of $200,000 to $300,000 that had been typical in recent months, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic information.

The donations stayed unusually high for several more days and are still above average, both of these people said, though they have leveled off in recent days. There are more contributors than usual, these people said, and the average donation has climbed.

The influx comes at a crucial time for Trump as he considers an early announcement for a 2024 presidential campaign and has seen dwindling returns on his online fundraising solicitations earlier this year. The former president’s PAC brought in $36 million in the first half of the year, dropping below $50 million in a six-month period for the first time since he left office, according to Federal Election Commission data.

How much of it is going to his personal accounts I wonder?

1. The same wretched people that would vote for THIS

(over Cheney)

Link to tweet

Yikes!

[jmowreader]

21. Most people don't take makeup tips from Mimi Bobeck

Doesn't anyone look at these people before they put them on camera?

[rurallib]

2. Makes a person just wanna

[aggiesal]

3. If those idiots want to throw away their money, be my guest. ...

We will soon find out that Pendejo45 bought a portrait of himself for his jail cell.
That way when he looks at it, he'll think it's a mirror and believe he's never aged while in prison.

5. I'd rather they flush their money down the drain by being Chumps for Chump

instead of donating it to GOP candidates.

[central scrutinizer]

11. Exactly

No way BMI45 will ever share his windfall with other Rs.

[aggiesal]

17. I'd rather they give to us. We'll know what to do with it. n/t

[Sky Jewels]

18. Well, yeah, there's that.

[Probatim]

31. Tequila for our crud-ites comes to mind.

[Sky Jewels]

36. Ha ha

And dip that raw asparagus in that salsa!

[EndlessWire]

25. LOL! n/t

[Chrysanthemum]

29. The Picture of Dorian Gray...

...would be more like it!

[CanonRay]

4. Grifters gotta grift

[Brainfodder]

6. Is that cleaning the forests level?

Never let him live that down!

Muhaha!

[Lasher]

7. Trump's rubes are stooped

[Orrex]

8. Isn't there some law that prevents criminals from profiting from their crimes?

What would be happening right now to a young Muslim man who was caught with boxes of highly classified documents illegally obtained?

Why isn't that happening to Trump?

[Joinfortmill]

14. Good point.

[Kablooie]

9. In the future this period will be an amazing study of mass cult mind control ...

as long as the cult doesn't get control of the government again. If that happens recorded history will only be the fake, Trumpian version and a hell of a lot of people will be throwing up in private.

It's scary how SCOTUS will decide later this year whether states can overturn elections at will.
Essentially they will decide if America remains a democracy or is to be transformed into a totalitarian state.

[SouthernDem4ever]

38. If the SCOTUS has any self-preservation at all

they won't let it happen. If they do, they have just made themselves irrelevant.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Every time Trump commits a crime, the MAGAs send him more money.

[catrose]

15. I know, right? "Good Christians" who you wouldn't think had a value in common with him

not to mention--why would you give a billionaire (supposedly) money?

All the causes in this country that could use cash, even conservative ones, and they make themselves poorer giving to Donald Jessica Trump.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Yes the more commandments Trump breaks, the more Christians love him.

I know, makes no sense.

[Warpy]

12. Anybody who donates their hard earned money to a self professsed billionaire

fucking deserves to be poor. Gold plated televangelists have these nincompoops well trained, it seems.

Then they wonder why we think they're stupid.

[Joinfortmill]

13. Mind numbing stupidity.

[GreenWave]

16. At first I was kidding when I called him the Anti-Christ

But he turns evil into gold.

And he has consumed enough cheeseberders to kill a human ten times over...

[BaronChocula]

19. At this point he shouldn't be raising money

He can't spend it in prison. He should be raising cigarettes.

[jmowreader]

22. Postage stamps. Postage Stamps. POSTAGE STAMPS, DAMMIT!

Every prison in America is now a no-smoking zone. Postage stamps are the new jail currency.

[BaronChocula]

30. Well I'll be

HBO needs to do a new OZ series so I can get an updated version of inaccurate prison stereotypes.

[LeftInTX]

20. He has been sending emails like crazy

I don't get emails from him, but he must have purchased my email from a list

[SouthernDem4ever]

24. They love sending money to a snake oil salesman

in dump's words,, Sad!

[C Moon]

26. If there was ever doubt in anyone's mind that he stole those docs for money...

this should prove it.
he'll do anything for a buck.
(I can't even stomach to give that freak an uppercase "H" when used in "he'll" at the beginning of a sentence).
I hope he rots in a jail soon. Fucking traitor, liar, chicken ass freak.

[notinkansas]

27. The FBI search was an opportunity for such a successful grift

tfg may beg them to come back again.

[trusty elf]

28. ...

[Heather MC]

32. A Fool and His Money are Soon Parted

🤷🏾?♀️

[llashram]

33. been grifting since

he's been old enough to start. And the presidency was the prize gift of a lifetime for a grifter like him and his family. Except for Mary.

[IronLionZion]

34. He may have some major legal fees

and his supporters may have less money to donate to other GOP candidates

[BlueIdaho]

35. Blood Money

From deplorables, straight into TFG’s pockets.

[Linda Ed]

37. He is being fed

by all these crazy lunatics out there...a self proclaimed billionaire making money off all those maga people ...stupid cult members spending money on a billionaire lol


Stupidest people in congress
