Following Trump's conviction, his campaign announced that $53 million had been raised

June 1
Following Donald Trump's conviction in his New York hush money trial, his campaign announced on May 31 that it had received approximately $53 million in small-dollar internet donations. The campaign boasted that the verdict had galvanised Trump's support "like never before." The record haul was more than $2 million every hour, according to it.

According to announcements made by senior campaign staffers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, almost a third of the total came from new contributions to the campaign. They praised the "outpouring of support from patriots across our country."
Although there were brief online problems "because of the amount of traffic" from small-dollar contributions, the advisors claimed that the "digital fundraising system was overwhelmed with support" notwithstanding the "sham trial verdict" that the court handed down on May 30.

A staggering $52.8 million had been amassed before the end of the day on May 31st. In the waning days of his 2016 presidential campaign, a jury found Trump guilty on all thirty-four counts of altering company documents to conceal a sex scandal. The verdict was handed down on May 30.

The president allegedly had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels shortly after his wife Melania gave birth in 2006, paid hush money ten years later to hide the affair from the public and fool voters, and then fabricated documents to cover up the payment.

Although his sentencing is scheduled for July 11, he is anticipated to file an appeal of the decision. The Democrats' political witch hunt over Joe Biden's alleged election interference has reawakened the MAGA movement to unprecedented levels, according to LaCivita & Wiles.

The inquiry was initiated by the state of New York, not the federal government, and there is no indication that President Joe Biden or his administration were involved. Biden has been careful not to comment on the trial.

Just moments after his conviction, Trump's campaign website started directing users to a donation page where he declared himself a "political prisoner"—another example of his penchant for using scandal to his benefit.

But inside minutes of being live, the official Republican Party donation site WinRed collapsed for about an hour due to the influx of Trump supporters. Trump often portrays his legal troubles as a struggle against the "deep state" and Biden's administration, positioning himself as a martyr ready to give up his freedom to defend his followers. He has already compared himself to Jesus Christ and South African anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela; in April, he did it again.
