In a series of messages sent since Saturday March 18 by Donald Trump and his supporters, the former American president does not hesitate to denounce the cabal mounted against him by a “international elite”, members of “the deep state” or even “radicalized witch hunters”, reports the British daily The Guardian.
The goal? Impersonating the victim of ‘persecution’ ahead of his possible indictment by New York State Attorney Alvin Bragg, who is effectively planning to arrest him over a 2016 payment case to the porn actress Stormy Daniels, with whom Donald Trump would have had an affair in 2006 and 2007, and whose silence he would have liked to buy. But another goal is to raise donations for the Trump Save America Joint Fundraising Committee, a fund to fund his 2024 presidential bid.
If some of these messages have an imploring tone – “Please do your part to SAVE THE COUNTRY when the stakes have never been higher” –, others do not hesitate “to play on the register of conspiracy”, note it Guardian. “If this political persecution is not exposed, one day they will no longer just target me, they will target you”, can we read in one of these emails, sent on Sunday, March 19.
“George Soros Globalist Bandit Cabal”
“We are going through dark days”, can we also read in an email sent the next day:
“The Deep State and George Soros’ Globalist Bandit Cabal think that by indicting me they can intimidate YOU into not voting for a President who will always put PEOPLE first.”
A message that ends with these words: “Donate $1 and secure your place as a founding member of our movement’s advocacy.”
For the British daily, the fact that Donald Trump is trying to bail out his campaign coffers at all costs is explained by his meager fundraising since he announced, in November 2022, his candidacy for the presidency of 2024.
Between November 15 and December 31, 2022, the Trump campaign “raised only $9.5 million, or the average sum of $201,600 per day,” note the diary. An amount “very weak” when we compare it, as did the New York Times, to those of other past candidates, such as Republican Jeb Bush or Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016, whose average daily fundraising after their candidacy was announced was between $600,000 and $800,000 a day.
