The five days since Donald Trump was indicted by a New York grand jury have brought in $10million for his campaign, making it the most lucrative period so far, if his own numbers are to be believed.

On Tuesday, as he appeared in court, his campaign sent out another email blast this time offering a T-shirt with a mocked-up mugshot of Trump.

He been able to use the latest legal twist to whip up more anger and outrage among supporters. 

In another email message to supporters as he left New York, he said: ‘You are why I could NEVER give up our mission to save America – no matter how nasty and vicious the attacks ever got.

‘Since news of the indictment first broke, I’ve been informed that our campaign has raised over $10,000,000.’

Former President Donald Trump appears in court for his arraignment, Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in New York. Trump surrendered to authorities ahead of his arraignment on criminal charges stemming from a hush money payment to a porn actor during his 2016 campaign. 

No mugshot YET but that’s not stopping Trump from fundraising using a fake picture as the former president’s campaign claims $8M in donations since the Manhattan indictment

The numbers could not immediately be verified because fundraising data do not have to be recorded with federal authorities until the end of each quarter.

But in recent days the campaign said it had received a surge in small donations – a quarter of them from first time donors, averaging out at $34 apiece.

After the hearing, Trump posted on Truth Social.

‘Will be delivering remarks tonight at Mar-a-Lago at 8:15 P.M., EASTERN,’ he wrote. 

‘The hearing was shocking to many in that they had no “surprises,” and therefore, no case. Virtually every legal pundit has said that there is no case here. 

‘There was nothing done illegally!’

Trump, who was impeached twice by the U.S. House but was never convicted in the U.S. Senate, is the first former president to face criminal charges.

Trump is scheduled to return to his Palm Beach, Florida, home, Mar-a-Lago, on Tuesday evening to give remarks. At least 500 prominent supporters have been invited, with some of the most pro-Trump congressional Republicans expected to attend.

A conviction would not prevent Trump from running for or winning the presidency in 2024.

Trump denies having sexual liaisons with either woman and has denied any wrongdoing involving payments.

New York’s ability to carry out safe and drama-free courthouse proceedings in a case involving a polarizing ex-president could be an important test case as prosecutors in Atlanta and Washington conduct their own investigations of Trump that could also result in charges.

Allies of Donald Trump are convinced that the Manhattan district attorney’s pursuit of the former president will make him unbeatable in the race to secure the Republican 2024 nomination.

A memo sent to donors by the chief executive of MAGA Inc, a Trump-aligned super PAC, includes a poll showing that 83 percent of likely G.O.P. primary voters think the indictment of Donald Trump by a Manhattan grand jury is politically motivated

A confidential memo sent to donors by the chief executive of MAGA Inc, a Trump-aligned super political action committee, sets out a poll that reveals 83 percent of likely G.O.P. primary voters think the indictment is politically motivated and without merit. 

‘Republican primary voters are united in the belief that [Manhattan D.A.] Alvin Bragg and his liberal cohorts are mounting a baseless politically motivated attack on President Trump,’ concludes Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s chief pollster for his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, in the memo obtained by DailyMail.com. 

‘Given the overwhelming opinions Republican primary voters have on this subject, It is very likely that this indictment will only further unite the party behind President Trump.’

The data put statistical meat on the rhetorical bones of Trump supporters who have taken to the airwaves in the 24 hours since news broke of an indictment to say that it will only make the former president stronger.
