Supporters Rally to Help Trump Pay $355 Million Civil Fraud Judgment
Former President Donald Trump is facing a daunting legal battle as he grapples with a massive $355 million civil court fraud judgment. In a show of unwavering support, his fans have taken to the internet to launch an online fundraising campaign to help him in this time of need.
The GoFundMe campaign, initiated by Elena Cardone, a Florida woman who passionately identifies herself as a “mother and an ardent supporter of American values,” aims to raise the staggering nine-figure sum that Trump owes. The campaign’s description highlights the significance of this moment, portraying it as not just an attack on Trump but also an assault on the fundamental principles of fairness and due process that every American deserves. It questions the balance of justice and the application of law, suggesting that these legal battles are unfairly targeted at silencing a voice that has consistently advocated for American strength, prosperity, and security.
“This is more than a legal fund; it’s a call to all patriots to rally in defense of a man who has never hesitated to stand in defense of us,” the appeal passionately asserts. It emphasizes that the fundraiser goes beyond simply raising the necessary amount; it symbolizes taking a firm stand in support of Trump and his unwavering commitment to the American people.
Although the GoFundMe campaign has gained considerable traction, it still falls significantly short of its ambitious $355 million goal. As of Saturday evening, the campaign had already raised over $146,000, with donations pouring in from fervent supporters. The largest single contribution thus far has been an anonymous donation of $2,500.
Amongst the donors, many have taken to the comment section to express their enthusiastic support for the former president. Christine Muro, who donated $20, eloquently stated, “I believe President Trump deserves the backing of his followers… And I can’t wait until he is our president again… Love him.”
This is not the first instance where Trump loyalists have turned to crowdfunding platforms to demonstrate their unwavering support for the billionaire. Back in 2019, a campaign on GoFundMe aimed at raising funds for Trump’s border wall managed to amass an astonishing $25 million before its creators faced legal consequences. The individuals behind the campaign were subsequently indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
As the legal battle unfolds, Trump now faces the daunting task of finding a way to settle the $355 million civil fraud judgment. With his supporters passionately rallying by his side, this online fundraising effort serves as a testament to their unwavering belief in his cause. It reflects an unyielding conviction that Trump’s fight transcends personal interest and embodies a greater struggle for justice and the preservation of American values.
