Trump hits $200 million in donations

by

The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.

Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records. ‘This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?’ Eric Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo. And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we’re well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.’

The former president’s son continued: ‘If you add the large dollar donations to it, you’re over $200 million.’

‘And by the way, Maria 30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party.’

The numbers that Eric Trump cited appear to show that the support is not just coming from Republican voters.

The free flow of fundraising to the campaign indicates a groundswell of aid for the former president after his historic trial.

‘I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off. They’re coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he’s getting bamboozled by a system.’

On Friday, Eric Trump posted on his social media that the campaign had received $52.8 million in donations in the 24 hours since the hush money trial verdict was delivered.

A little over a day later that has ballooned to over $200 million, largely from the help of a single major donation.
