REPORT: TRUMP FUNDRAISES STAGGERING $34 MILLION TOTAL SO FAR THIS YEAR
According to Politico, Trump has amassed a staggering $18.8 million in campaign donations in the first quarter of 2023 as he works to retake the White House.
The Trump campaign, which raised a staggering $15.4 million in the two weeks following a Manhattan grand jury’s decision to prosecute the president, revealed the information for his fundraising total.
The $18.8 million dollars were withdrawn, according to the Washington Examiner, almost simultaneously with Trump’s indictment. At about the same time, the second quarter of the year began, and an extra $15.4 million was raised. The total amount raised for the campaign this year is now close to $34 million.

The first article from Politico noted that the Trump campaign’s ability to raise money offers “a snapshot of how Trump’s arrest has, at least for the time being, changed the GOP primary.”
Trump was charged with 34 felonies for “falsifying” business paperwork and appeared in court in New York in April. After being arraigned, he went back to New York City to take a deposition for another civil action that State Attorney General Letitia James had filed.
“This civil case is ridiculous, just like all of the other Election Interference cases being brought against me,” Trump commented last week. “If I had a fair judge, this case would have never happened. MAGA!”

The legal challenges Trump has faced in recent weeks have greatly aided his fundraising efforts. The president has also insisted that he will press on with his 2024 presidential campaign despite the political and judicial attacks that have been made against him.
He said last week during remarks at the annual NRA Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, “With your vote and with a Republican House and a Republican Senate – and we have a really strong shot at both – I will lead the glorious rebirth of American freedom.”
