The Trump 2024 campaign’s fundraising email operations went into overdrive last weekend. ‘Dems threaten to seize Trump Tower,’ screamed one call to donate on Saturday. ‘Maniacs want to seize Trump Tower,’ read another. ‘If they seize Trump Tower…’ said a third. ‘Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower,’ added yet another.
The tone flitted from alarm to defiance. By Sunday, the message was: ‘Trump Tower will never be captured’ and ‘You’ll never get Trump Tower.’ And on Monday, after Trump was ordered to pay a mere $175 million (£138 million) bond in his civil fraud suit instead of the initial half billion, the campaign turned triumphant. ‘Trump Tower remains mine’ read an email from ‘Donald Trump – Emergency’. ‘We keep Trump Tower,’ announced another. Yet still they wanted money.
Each time the polls seem to be tightening, ‘Trump’s legal troubles’ come roaring back to his political rescue
Those emails – and the no doubt massive sums in campaign donations generated from them – tell you a lot about who the real winner of the ‘Trump’s legal troubles’ story is.
