Donald Trump campaign has raised over $200 MILLION in just THREE days > 자유게시판

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 on her show Sunday Morning Futures.

'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.

Israeli-American Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, has reportedly pledged $100 million to the Trump campaign in the days since his criminal conviction, according to The Forward, a Jewish outlet.

She and her late husband gave over $200 million to Republican causes in 2020 - and appears poised to dole out the dough again for 2024. 

Her fortune is estimated to be nearly $30 billion in total. 

She is the latest of a number of billionaires that have pledged to help the former president regain his grasp on power. 

Last week, Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman similarly decided to make public his support of Trump. 

The private equity behemoth said his decision to back the ex-president was in part motivated by the anti-semitism seen on college campuses in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war.

'The dramatic rise of antisemitism has led me to focus on the consequences of upcoming elections with greater urgency,' he told Axios in a statement.

'I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction.'

'In addition, I will be supporting Republican Senate candidates and other Republicans up and down the ticket,' his statement continued.

Schwarzman said his bid to back Trump in 2023 is a 'vote for change.'

The RNC and Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
