'Krakatoa of Contributions': Trump's Campaign Raises Massive Funds Following Convictions in New York

The former president's campaign raised a staggering $200 million in the three days following the verdicts, with Democrats commenting on the unprecedented success of Biden's New York City fundraiser. The eruption of the contributions volcano is evidence of the outrage and scale is indicative of the emotional stakes involved. The list of straws includes Hillary Clinton's private server, the deletion of emails, and the CIA's ambush of President-elect Trump in 2017. Twenty-one reasons include the corrupt prosecution of Gen. Michael Flynn and the attempt to prosecute Trump for abuses of power, and the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

The list of fifty reasons also includes the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith and the appointment of a different Special Counsel to President Biden's classified documents case, Robert Hur, compared to Trump's prosecution. The list also includes the conduct of New York Attorney General Letitia James, New York Judge Arthur Engoron's gag order on Trump, and Judge Tanya Chutkan's attempt to rush a trial in federal district court in D.C.

These instances of perceived abuses of power stored in memory banks stimulated an outpouring of support for the former president, with the scale being indicative of the emotional stakes involved.
