Trump's Donor Base Is Shrinking

Trump’s Donor Base Is Shrinking

"SNIP...........

Financial Times: “In another troubling sign for Republican fundraising efforts, Trump has 270,000 fewer unique donors than he did at the same stage of his 2020 White House run. His campaign and affiliated political action committees got money from 900,000 donors from July 2023 to the end of the first quarter of 2024, down from 1.17 million four years earlier.”

“This shrinking donor base leaves questions about how Trump will sustain the costs of his legal battles on top of what is expected to be the most expensive presidential race in US history. The bottom line is he needs to step it up now when it comes to fundraising, especially while he’s stuck in court and off the campaign trail.”

2. Why give money to a candidate who might end up in prison?

Or at least be too tied down in post-verdict appeals to be able to campaign?

But, hey, at least they were "free" from wearing little pieces of paper on their faces and they kept their blood "pure" and unchipped by Bill Gates.

We know, not everyone can afford a $400 pair of Rust-oleum-sprayed sneakers. But everyone can afford an authentic TrumpTurd (tm) encased in genuine clear epoxy resin! Only $79.95 plus S&H, only thru Truth Social (with corn, add $12.95).

Our factory, which probably meets most OSHA standards, but we don't really give a shit one way or the other:

14. Maybe he's finally bled them dry? How's the goldish sneaker sales, and the leatherish Bible sales?
