Trump fundraises immediately after sentencing
President-elect Trump swiftly tried to raise funds on the heels of his New York hush money sentencing Friday morning, asking supporters if they still “stand with him" in light of the cementing of his felony conviction.
“They're trying to sabotage the Presidential Transition process. They’re trying to END the presidency as we know it — just before I take office,” the incoming president wrote in an email release.
“But together, we will put a stop to the LAWFARE and make our country GREAT once again.”
The former president was sentenced to unconditional discharge “without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision” by New York Judge Juan Merchan.
Trump has continued to promote claims the case was “rigged” and is surveying those who champion his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) slogan to gauge their support for him, in addition to requesting funds to bolster his agenda.
“After my RIGGED SENTENCING, do you still Stand with Trump? RESPOND TO TRUMP,” the website linked in his fundraising email reads.
Below the message were suggested financial donations, ranging from $10 to $3,300.
