Trump’s indictments are having diminishing returns for his political fundraising - hal - 08-01-2023

Donald Trump’s legal troubles have created windfalls for his political fundraising in the past. And his team has not been shy about using various investigations, indictments and court appearances to turbocharge his donor base.
But new data filed with the Federal Election Commission by WinRed, the premiere GOP donation processor used by Trump and most other Republican candidates, shows that trend may be ebbing.
The former president’s fundraising did not spike as high after his second indictment in June compared to his first one in the spring.
All told, Trump raised nearly $4 million via WinRed from nearly 80,000 distinct donors April 4, the day he pleaded not guilty in a Manhattan court on charges of falsification of business records related to payouts to porn star Stormy Daniels. It was his best online fundraising day of the year.
By contrast, when Trump appeared in Miami court June 13 to plead not guilty to his second indictment on charges related to classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago, he raised only $1.3 million from just over 35,0000 donors, according to WinRed data.
Trump’s joint fundraising committee is outperforming his rivals among small-dollar donors. But the new data is a warning sign that further legal jeopardy for Trump may not be the fundraising savior it once was as his committees burn through cash.

At some point, even if they still believe in him, 45's supporters will realize he is a money pit and that all the money in their pockets will not save him or get him re-elected. money talks, or in this case, cries.

A lot of them have to decide whether to send $50 to Trump or buy gas for their rolling-coal pickups.

Wonder if he'll need to use a public defender.

Nah… just like Jimmy Swaggart, tRump’s worshippers will just keep emptying their pockets of their hard earned dollars for him regardless.

I did nothing wrong! The call to Raffensperger was perfect!
