MAGA fans set up $355 MILLION fundraiser to pay former president Trump's latest legal bill - with GoFundMe raising nearly $50,000 within hours of fraud verdict
Daily Mail ^ | 2/17/24 | Alice Wright

Scientologists Elena and Grant Cardone established a GoFundMe page to help pay Donald Trump's latest legal bill.

The ardent MAGA supporters set up the page hours after the former president was ordered to pay $355 million fine for lying about his wealth for years.

'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' Elena Cardone wrote on the page.

Cardone is seeking donations from supporters to cover the full cost of Trump's fine.

However, only $53,000 had been donated as of Saturday afternoon.

'The recent legal battles he faces are not just an attack on him, but an attack on the very ideals of fairness and due process that every American deserves' Cardone wrote.

This is more than a legal fund,' she explained, '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 judgement on Friday found Trump, his company and executives, including his two eldest sons, schemed to dupe banks, insurers and others by inflating his wealth on financial statements.

It is the latest fallout in Trump's ongoing legal woes, that include an upcoming trial for election fraud and another for sanctioning 'hush money' payments to an adult entertainer ahead of the 2016 election.

Paying off the $355 million fine could require some tough decisions within the Trump empire.

Trump has already been ordered to pay $83 million to writer E. Jean Carroll in her defamation suit, which followed a $5 million award in a separate trial where he was found liable for sexually abusing her.

Sounds wonderful! Trump can see his base and the care... the left evil plotters can see what is behind our man Trump! and against them!

Hopefully Trump never has to pay such money to injustice and corruption. But gofund me will pull it down most likely.

The amount of the fine is of no concern to me. Bertram Cates has no intention of paying this or any other fine. If it were one single dollar he would not pay it. We are going to appeal this decision to the state supreme court. Will the court grant us 3O days in which to prepare the appeal? - “Inherit the Wind”

Stupid to use GoFuneMe who are guaranteed to cancel it.

I can’t believe GoFundMe took it! Usually anything conservative is banned. I hate to see the sobs make the commission.
After losing everything in the Almeda fire I had one but they cancelled me immediately... said it wasn’t a legitimate cause. Same thing with Facebook.
Don’t think Trump is the only MAGA losing everything.

Every “ immigrant” in town got one with no problem. They also got the housing. I never got to go back home.

No one should pay this. Not Trump and not anyone else. New York is trash.

The politically corrupt judge fined Trump 350 million and at the same time tried to keep Trump from having a way to earn the money tothe fine. fine.

Makes me think of old world’s debtor’s prison system.

It’s a nice sentiment - but Trump won’t wind up having to pay any of that….

Instead, the money should go toward enhancing his security.

He's a freaking BILLIONAIRE,/I>!!! Why does he expect regular folks to pay his legal bills? And why does he demand that the RNC do so? (To the point of installing his daughter-in-law to make sure that's all they do)
