The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.
Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records.
'This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?' Eric Trump told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo.
'And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollar, we're well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small dollar donations.'
The former president's son continued: 'If you add the large dollar donations to it, you're over $200 million.'
'And by the way, Maria 30 percent of those people have never been seen before by a political party.'
The numbers that Eric Trump cited appear to show that the support is not just coming from Republican voters.
The free flow of fundraising to the campaign indicates a groundswell of aid for the former president after his historic trial.
'I mean, these are Americans who are pissed off. They're coming out of the woodwork and they want to support a guy that they just believe he's getting bamboozled by a system.'
On Friday, Eric Trump posted on his social media that the campaign had received $52.8 million in donations in the 24 hours since the hush money trial verdict was delivered.
A little over a day later that has ballooned to over $200 million, largely from the help of a single major donation.

She donated to a PAC I believe.
Lol.......
Praise God!
The numbers out in July for the FCC will be thrilling.
lizma2!!!
Thank you so much for the address. I feel safe in sending a check now, and know my little bit will be well spent, and not wasted on RNC nonsense.
The most dems have raised is 90 mil in march that’s the entire month never 200 mil in two days that’s insane numbers
Just a few months ago Trump took over the Republican Party. Lara Trump is now co-chair. It is a completely new party, and supports Trump.
I have no problem with donating through Winred. DJT is going to need help in Congress and this is how he gets it.
I heard about the site going down and mailed him a check.
Not a huge check. Heard on some conservative radio show that we should send as little as $5 because the number of people supporting him is even more important than the amounts. I sent more, and felt very good about it.
Saying that he raised that much money seems to say or imply that he was actively fund raising and brought that much in through that means.
It’s more like his campaign funding increased that much spontaneously. Donations increased as people chose to give without prompting.
A trend that will hopefully continue...and they can go ahead and buy up all of the prime advertising space in all of the battleground states and already have as full a media campaign there as possible without danger of having to withdraw it due to cashflow problems like in 2020...then if the cash continues to roll in, start doing that in second tier battleground states like Minnesota and Virginia. Control the narrative and get Biden on the defensive this time...air clips of his speeches like the “hairy legs” speech in full without any editing...as well as remind people how much better things were under Trump, clips of his SOTU speeches, highlighting foreign policy successes like the Abraham Accords, etc.
I donated a day and a half after the kangaroo spoke...
Thank you, CurlyDave, for your input on Winred and your faith that Lara Trump will be able to turn around the Republican National Committee.
I hope I can get past my distrust soon. I will be watching for actual actions taken, not just words spoken.
This interview with Voorhees about what it means legally for the election (and the posture of Trump’s attorneys) is worth a listen:

For this, please overlook that Adams on an Infowars site was in high psyop mode this weekend, with him claiming that alien spirits are driving the current, negative actions in the world.

Best is to give directly to Trump’s campaign, only 10% goes to the RNC for other candidates.
I’d rather Trump decide where to put the money
