How Much Money Did Trump Raise?

So, it took less than 24 hours for Trump to roll out his first big lie after being convicted of lying 34 times in the hush-money trial when he announced that the campaign has set an all-time, one day record for donations, somewhere just short of $35 million bucks, and the entire Fake News treated this announcement as a ‘fact.’

CBS was so ga-ga about the Trump campaign cash haul that their headline put the amount at $52.8 million, an amount repeated in the story text as well.

This is a guy, I’m talking about a convicted felon named Donald Trump, who tells a lie virtually every time he opens his mouth. And you’re going to believe him when he says anything about the amount of money he’s raised?

Want to get a better idea how Trump’s supporters are responding to the 34 guilty verdicts which reflected how twelve New York residents reacted to another pack of Trump lies? Take a look at this story which contains a bunch of statements made by what was politely reported by Reuters as the MAGA ‘faithful:’

o “Find the jurors. All of them. Take no prisoners,”

o “The time for talking has long gone. Let them swing outside the courthouse.”

o “One million men (armed) need to go to Washington and hang everyone.”
