Donald Trump’s fans sent him $1.5 million after he falsely claimed that he’d get arrested on Tuesday

Recommended Posts

Former President Donald Trump raised $1.5 million in the three days after he falsely claimed on Truth Social that he'd be arrested on Tuesday, per multiple media outlets.

Trump's 2024 campaign confirmed the sum to Fox News, the outlet reported Wednesday. The money was raised from grassroots donations, according to Fox.

The Washington Post, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter, reported the same amount raised in that time frame.

Receiving $1.5 million over three days means Trump raised an average of $500,000 per day — almost double the daily average when he announced his bid for the White House in November.

The Trump campaign brought in $11.8 million in the six weeks before the announcement, averaging out at $280,000 per day. And in the six weeks after Trump announced his run, his campaign raised $9.5 million, or $226,000 per day.

The former president's funding boost after he claimed without evidence that he would be arrested by New York prosecutors on Tuesday. This did not happen.

Trump urged supporters to "PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK" in his Saturday Truth Social post, amid rumors that he may soon be indicted by a New York grand jury over the Stormy Daniels hush-money case.

As the anticipation of an indictment grew, Trump's campaign capitalized on the rumors by highlighting them in almost every fundraising message. The daily messages seen by Insider tell recipients that the "justice system has utterly COLLAPSED" and that they can be a "FOUNDING DEFENDER" by giving money to the former president.

is he really not? i really believed that he bought his way into the presidency seat

By our standards, yes. 

But he's not nearly as rich as he claims, certainly not in liquid money. He claims he's worth $8 billion, Forbes has it about $2 billion. Forbes is correct, but 90-95% of his net worth is locked up in his share of the ownership of the Trump Organization's physical assets (i.e. Trump Tower, Bedminster). He spent most of his father's fortune paying off the creditors in the late 90s, early 2000s. At most, has $500 million in liquid cash, and that's not factoring in the very real possibility that he whatever assets he has are underwritten by toxic loans to foreign banks. 

Yes, he's rich -- but he's full of shit, not nearly as rich as he wants people to leave, a terrible business man and not rich enough to buy the Presidency.
