March 20 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's campaign on Wednesday called for donations from one million of his backers, warning he could lose his New York properties, two days after the former president failed to secure a bond to cover a $454 million judgment in a civil fraud case.

"KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF TRUMP TOWER!," reads a message to supporters from a joint fundraising committee that allocates the money it collects to his campaign and a separate political committee that has been paying Trump's legal bills. The civil fraud case, brought by New York state Attorney General Letitia James in September 2022, is one of several legal travails that Trump faces ahead of a Nov. 5 election rematch with Democratic President Joe Biden.

The message, sent by text with prompts for supporters to donate in amounts ranging from $20.24 to $3,300 or a specific amount, accuses James of wanting to seize Trump's properties and portrays her actions as part of a broader effort by Biden and Democrats to harm his reelection campaign. "So before the day is over, I'm calling on ONE MILLION Pro-Trump patriots to chip in and say: STOP THE WITCH HUNT AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP!" the campaign message said.

Biden has said he is not involved in any of the cases against Trump. The Biden campaign declined to comment. The fundraising message links donors to the joint fundraising committee that Trump typically asks supporters to contribute through. It alludes to James' case, but it does not say that funds would be used for that purpose.

1. C'mon MAGAts, sell your cars, your houses, all your possessions and bail out your fat savior!

[Lovie777]

2. When do they stop begging?

never.

[PortTack]

3. Does tsf have 1 million pro patriots?

[miss-nasty]

4. They will send it...,

Then complain about how much worse off their filthy asses are

[Marthe48]

5. Anti-traitor people should donate money to Planned Parenthood, Dems, any cause

It would be fun to let the recipient know that the donation is on behalf of traitor, or to let traitor know you have better ways to spend your money than to bail out a "billionaire"
Or send requests to traitor asking him to donate to you.

Kind of related to solicitation: I was in a store the other day. My granddaughter checked out ahead of me, and the clerk asked her if she wanted to round up to the local food bank. My granddaughter declined. She must have said something else, because the clerk started saying, Everywhere you go it's donate to this, donate to that. Why don't people donate to ME?" My granddaughter was unfazed by the unexpected tirade. When she asked me, I said no, thank you. I guess some of the clerks hate asking as much as customers getting asked.

My granddaughter volunteers time to the food bank every week, and I donate money once in awhile. Plus, if I want to donate to something, I'll make my own arrangements.

18. Management punishes you if you don't ask

Or make their quota

Been there, done that

And hated it

[Marthe48]

19. I'm always polite to the clerks

and I sympathize with the tasks included in their job descriptions.

[bedazzled]

20. Me too

Everyone should do six months in retail

Make it a better world!

[jimfields33]

31. I wish it were mandatory.

I can’t believe how nasty people are to grocery store cashiers. They blame them for the prices, insist they put the groceries in the cart even when there are no baggers, and ask why they only got this far in life. I’m not exaggerating. It’s elitism and entitlement. It’s gross.

[bluestarone]

6. As i've stated before, he WILL have the money

By the 25th. I go opposite of what they say. He says he doesn't have the bond money. So we'll see.

[niyad]

17. I agree. This has been pro forma, pooooo9r, pitiful me whining. He

will probably post by noon Monday.

[samnsara]

22. hes still gotta repay it

...and pay taxes as income.

[niyad]

30. That is not the point we are discussing right now. This is about his

whining act about not being able to raise the money, and whether it will miraculously show up on Monday.

[4lbs]

7. A million donations? I thought he was a "Billionaire". Can't he just come up with the money himself?

Oh wait, he lied about all that?

You don't say.

Wow, what is the world coming to when you can't even trust a TV personality and politician on what he says?

Dumpy the Clown is about as authentic as his orange spray-tan.

[tom_kelly]

8. I won't go to that site but

I wonder if it allows donors to use credit cards. Wouldn't be surprised if some super magas have maxed out a cc or two on tsf

[BumRushDaShow]

9. I know in the past

they have had their fundraising sites automatically default to "monthly" donations and eventually the MAGat realized it when they maxed their credit cards out from those donations, and went batshit crazy.

[tom_kelly]

10. I now remember hearing that recently

They'll still vote for him though

[SouthernDem4ever]

11. WTF?

Tell him to ask Jared for the cash. He should be able to get it from the Saudi prince. I wonder if the Orange blowhard will be spewing all these lies about how rich he is from now on.

[twodogsbarking]

12. Is lubricant included?

[kimbutgar]

13. Fools and their money are parted

I’d love for some of his donors to declare bankruptcy because they are in debt giving the orange maggot money.

[Hikerchick57]

14. I was thinking of a Go Fund Me for a Walmart Card for Melania so she can buy more tacky clothes

15. Return on 'investment'?

Will 1,000,000 Americans be prepared to give an average of $500 each to help their Annointed One?

Will Trump keeping his Trump Tower be enough of a warm glow for them to part with the money?

I'm thinking that return isn't going to do it for some, donation exhaustion must be setting in for a lot of people.

Don't want to be rude, but donating into a financial Black Hole doesn't appeal to me.

Popcorn! I'm buying shares in a popcorn factory instead.

EDIT: I object to the title.
The cash crunch is already here, it is the consequences of that cash crunch that are still to happen.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

16. Preferably with a minimum of $1000 per donation

Right Donny?

[samnsara]

21. im going to mail him a penny and include a RESIST

...card. I had about 500 printed up after 2016 and I've got some left.

[Javaman]

23. Scam. i bet he has someone, at the 11th hour, will reveal themselves to bail him out.

and he knows it. and this is just a ploy.

[prodigitalson]

25. It won't be the pillow guy

He's broke ass too

[Javaman]

34. I'm predicting some foreign billionaire nt

[bmichaelh]

24. Why does not his billionaire friends pay?

Trump has billionaire friends.

Why have they not chipped in to help him out?

It has been reported that Putin owns a 700 million yacht.

26. Is this even legal?

Using campaign donations for personal expenses is not allowed:

[Kid Berwyn]

27. Beg much?

Biggest begging ever. A record. The most in history. So much begging. You are going to get tired of begging.

[mucifer]

28. I think trump and his deplorables love the tv show type drama of all of this and he already has

the money from putin. So in the last minute it will look like a victory for him. he is the underdog and no one can defeat him and he will have lots more money because of the recent groveling.

[Midnight Writer]

29. Poor guy. I'll check under my sofa cushions and see if I can find a little something for him.

[Scalded Nun]

32. "The kids aren't going to college. What the hell, Ma...they can just eat on even days this year. Let's chip in!"

[Novara]

33. Oh, my fuckin' heart just bleeds.

[Blue Idaho]

35. The emperor's got no cash...

What happened to the guy who came down the escalator and announced he didn’t need your money? He claimed to be a billionaire so he was incorruptible. Well, guess what? He’s available to the highest bidder now.

[republianmushroom]

36. And the fleecing nevers stops.
