Trump boasts guilty verdict 'outraged and motivated' Americans to give him $300M
Donald Trump's reelection campaign is rolling in the money, he says. And the 45th president isn't being bashful about it.
"RECORD AMOUNT RAISED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN IN MAY ALONE – $141 MILLION IN SMALL DONATIONS,
ALMOST $300 MILLION OVERALL," reads the all-capped post by the presumptive Republican nominee.
The now convicted felon touted the windfall referring to himself in the third person.
His post noted that the donations were "in response of support for President Trump while facing the sham Biden trial and verdict that outraged and motivated Americans from every walk of life."
Trump chest-thumped the "overwhelming financial success" proof of "over 2 million donations" that he was quick to call "A RECORD" and came not from the deep-pocketed set but from small donors with an average offering of $70.27.
Though Trump also is bagging whales such as billionaire venture capitalist Doug Leone had kept a distance following the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, but on Monday vowed to help Trump retake the White House.

"I have become increasingly concerned about the general direction of our country, the state of our broken immigration system, the ballooning deficit, and the foreign policy missteps, among other issues," he wrote in a tweet. "Therefore, I am supporting former President Trump in this coming election."
Trump relished new members coming into the fold.
"A staggering amount, 25% of May’s donors were brand new to the 2024 campaign, making the month the best ever recorded for any Campaign in History," he claimed.
The largess apparently arrived after other pro-Trump organizations, he noted, "raised another $150 million" this month as well.
"Taken together, the Campaign, and other Trump supporting organizations, raised almost $300 million during the month of May alone, ALSO A RECORD," he concluded.
While not required to publicly release the whopping fundraising numbers, the campaign's move appears to be strategic as it comes almost directly after the 77-year-old's unanimous conviction in New York City on 34 counts of falsifying business records.
His sentencing is scheduled to take place on July 11.
The fattened war chest appears is hard to compare to Biden's as the Dems haven't released their total haul as yet.
But back in April, Trump and the Republican Party reported out-raising Biden and the DNC for the first time with $76 million compared to $51 million.
