Sad Trombone

An AP headline from April 6, 2024, a month in which you're saying the Trump campaign raised less than $10 million https://t.co/bmkeItlRnR pic.twitter.com/plyWCqZxQ0

Here's the breakdown:

When Trump announced a record haul after his guilty verdict, folks attacked the press for reporting it.

The FEC report for May indicates Trump's campaign told the truth. It reported raising $75.4 million in May —almost 70% more than the prior 4 months combined https://t.co/hVdf8cg9Hb pic.twitter.com/evXh0Pvfi4

A patch of ice doth not a winter make:

“I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. So guess what? I put it on a mug for the WHOLE WORLD TO SEE!” the fundraising email said. 

Trump surrendered last August to the Fulton County Jail, a stipulation of his criminal indictment in Georgia, where he faces 13 counts stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 

Upon arriving to the jail in a presidential-style motorcade, Trump was booked, fingerprinted and photographed for a mug shot. The process took about 20 minutes and made Trump the first U.S. president in history, past or present, known to have their mug shot taken.

Trump lies about literally everything. Maybe they wouldn’t give him a Diet Coke.

The Trump campaign has raised $196 million, and spent $79 million, as of the end of May.

In case you’re wondering, Biden’s campaign had raised $231 million by the end of May. His campaign has spent $172 million.

Trump may have closed the “money gap.” But Trump is not campaigning. QED.
