He's a successful Billionaire Businessman!
America is a shit show.
Gotta give it to the hill for not linking to the actual page
"I'm gonna continue to commit crimes, and America is gonna pay for it!"
- Donald J. Trump
No matter who you vote for, your life isn't going to improve unless YOU do something about it. People have been fighting about politics since politics began. You're not special. Put that energy into something useful.
The top donation is $5k, but I'm tempted to think that was someone associated with him making a huge donation to make MAGA followers think that people are giving that much. I just can't imagine a middle-class person doing that.
Seeding the tip jar.
Or money laundering
Trump knows his supporters will do this for him.
Isn't it funny how crowd funding is like socialism but him and his people think it's evil and bad...
The gofundme description stars like this:
My name is Elena Cardone and I am a wife of Grant Cardone, mother and an ardent supporter of American values and an advocate for justice, I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York.
“a wife of Grant Cardone”
Sister wife?
It's a life achievement! That said, I thought he was gay. I guess they're just sucking up to trump now
From GoFundMe terms, prohibited uses;
- the legal defense of alleged financial and violent crimes;
So I reported it. I'm very interested if they're going to let this slide because that kind of makes their terms of service open for legal challenge if they decide to block someone else for a similar thing, i.e. paying of fines for financial fraud.
Technically it's not paying for his defense :)
Oooo I want to report it to!
"alleged ... crimes"
.... Court decided he was guilty. There is no alleged about it lol
They're going to tell you to go fund yourself.
They'll probably make an exception because those crimes are not alleged anymore. If they don't... this, but with Trump supporters.
Please keep us informed!
Donate to the GoFundMe of the guy who leaked Trump’s tax returns instead https://www.gofundme.com/f/charles-littlejohns-legal-defense-fund
He got 5 years in prison so we could all see Trump’s grift.
Insane that he got the absolute max sentence for the "crime" he committed. It's such a gross signal. Had he taken hundreds of random Joe's tax returns and leaked to the press absolutely nothing would have happened and if he even got caught, like by turning himself in, he would've gotten a mild sentence. But now it was wealthy and powerful folk and thus he gets hammered as hard as the law allows.
This is a message to our ENEMIES around the World that there's SERIOUS HARSH PUNISHMENTS if they leak a Rich Person's Tax Returns! So they better stick to JUST Violent Insurrection and attempted Assassination of Government Officials INSTEAD!
Compare that to the paltry wrist slaps the capitol insurrectionists got.
I should do a gofundme to “help Trump supporter get the legal defense spending Trump deserves.” You guys are cool with me buying a castle with the money, right?
Only if you invite me to a feast on the castle.
I'll also contribute on the condition of a feast
Shrödinger’s billionaire.
They raised $200,000 already?
Raised or laundered?
People are seriously stupid
Just realized how to destroy GoFundMe - have the platform allow negative donations.
You want them to be $100 further from their goal? Fucking sure pass the cash.
To clarify... would you, a user, donate 100 dollars to the platform to push the campaign further from the goal? Or would you as the user graciously offer to be paid 100$ to move Trump further from their goal?
It would have to be the former to not be completely broken.
The fucking idiots just line up
Trump is not a billionaire, never was. No one that rich needs everyone to pay his bills.
He is just a welfare brat scamming people. Everything he owns is mortgaged to the hilt.
MAGA exists to financially support #TraitorTrump.
Alternatively, he might be a billionaire now with the insanely inflated land bubble valuations.
And cheating people out of their money is absolutely on brand for billionaires.
Yeah, I was going to say... people that rich never pay their bills.
If you owe the bank $100 that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.
