OPINION:
Donald Trump supporters showered him with more than $5 million in donations within 48 hours of the announcement of his indictment — $4 million of which came in the first 24 hours alone.
Democrats think this indictment is devastating to Trump.
Trump supporters obviously think otherwise.
And it’s still to be determined how the oh-so-crucial independent-minded of America think. But the writing seems already on the wall.
“Only 26 Percent of Voters Believe Trump Indictment and Arrest Will Hurt His 2024 Campaign,” ran one headline from a recent poll story from the Convention of States Action and The Trafalgar Group.
More from Mark Meckler, president of the Convention of States, on the heels of this poll: “It’s obvious to the majority of Americans that former President Trump is being hounded by a politically-motivated witch hunt designed to discredit him in order to render him a permanent pariah in American politics. This tactic has never worked, and these early numbers already reveal it’s going to backfire. Voters either think his indictment and arrest will either have absolutely no impact on his 2024 bid, or that it will even boost his campaign,” he said in a written statement.
Hmm. Let’s take “things that boost Trump’s campaign” for $1,000, Alex.
Nearly 39 percent of “independent voters believe that the New York City district attorney’s indicting … Trump will not affect Trump’s 2024 campaign and 33.6 percent believe it will help his campaign,” the Convention of States Action/Trafalgar Group survey said.
Democrats, progressives and the socialists and communists they represent are trying to fundraise off Trump’s indictment, too. But they’re not exactly making massive waves with their money pitch.
Meanwhile, Republican voters, conservative patriots, sane Americans who care about the fate of America’s judicial system are all circling around Trump.
A Quinnipiac University poll released a few days ago found 93% of Republicans believe Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, i.e. George Soros Stooge, is acting against Trump out of political motivations. And in general, “62% of Americans agree that the New York investigation is ‘mainly motivated by politics’ as compared to ‘mainly motivated by the law,’” Business Insider wrote of this Quinnipiac poll. Meanwhile, only 29% of Democrats agree.
That’s why Democrats are both despicable and ignorant. They don’t know the Constitution and those few who do know the Constitution, don’t care so long as they get their political way.
But money talks.
Money is talking.
And Trump supporters are talking loudly and clearly.
Axios reported his supporters donated $4 million to Trump in the first 24 hours of his indictment, and another $1 million the next day.
Team Trump must be thinking: Let the charade go forth. Let the magic of the mug shot run its course.
At this money-making pace, Trump will be witch-hunted all the way to the White House in 2024.
