Key Points
- The presidential campaign of Donald Trump said it raised a record $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after his criminal hush money case conviction in New York.
- Trump was found guilty by a Manhattan Supreme Court jury of falsifying business records related to his scheme with Michael Cohen to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
- The Republican is set to face President Joe Biden in November’s election, in a rematch of their 2020 contest for the White House.
The word “said” in that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting. They can say they raised eleventy brazilian dollars. It doesn’t make it true. The media is doing a heck of a job amplifying Trump’s lies.
Do you have reason to think they are lieing? Edit: other than the rack their lips are moving.
If anything, I’d expect them to under-report, not over exaggerate. That way they can siphon off the rest for hush money payments.
Eleventy Brazilian dollars? Why not Eleventy German dollars? It’s 7 times more!
