    Money-wise, this actually doesn’t matter a ton, however, as a measure of enthusiasm, this could be an issue for him. He’s got a lot less small dollar donations than he did in 2020, which are usually a pretty good indicator of enthusiasm and grassroots support from your base. So if he’s getting fewer of these than in 2020, which was a race he lost solidly… it’s not great news for him that they’ve declined this time around.

    I don’t think Trump’s recent grifts are even targeted at normal folks. The Chinese Bibles are being purchased in lots of 10,000. The gold sneakers are $300 and the watches are $100,000. It’s all about money laundering, not small donations.

  3. They’re probably running out of money.

    Can only buy so much Trump branded bibles, coins, rifles, watches, shoes, and NFTs til the cash cows keel over!

    It seems increasingly suspicious that we are hearing suddenly buzz about all of these “leaked internal polls” are showing him crushing Harris and making inroads in solid blue states, doesn’t it? And all of these articles about how the GOP is extremely confident about this election. Trump and the Republican want us to suddenly believe that he’s heading towards a landslide victory out of nowhere. I’m telling you, there’s fuckery afoot…..

  5. ‘Unfair! It should be mandatory that people who victimize poor Donald Trump with true but unflattering talk about him be required to donate!’

  6. He doesn’t care about small dollar donations, he cares about the greedy corporations and rich POS he’s going to help out if he gets into office, which is why he has the money laundering schemes like his medallions and watches going

  7. Another reason why Trump is doing politically meaningless rallies in blue states: he thinks he can get money from magas in those states who may not have been donating much

    All his Grateful Magadeadheads who follow him and red state magas have been squeezed dry, gotta drain new blood

    A hilariously desperate move

    In a throwaway gmail account, I’m on his mailing list and I get about 10 a day.

    The email subject lines in the past 12 hours:

    “A lot can change in 26 days.”

    “I don’t ask everyone.”

    “$10”

    “I’m moments away from addressing the nation.”

    “Congrats, you’re invited to Mar-a-Lago!”

    New Trump fundraiser email: We see that you didn’t sign up for auto contributions. If you don’t sign up that just proves you’re not a real patriot and we’ll be forced to inform Trump about your betrayal. He’s gonna think you’re a real loser unless you cough up in the next ten minutes. After that we tell him!

  9. MAGA realizing they’ve got nothing left for Halloween candy/Thanksgiving dinner/Xmas gifts.

    But that’s okay. They can purchase Trump Jerky and everyone will be happy. Give them out as Halloween dogtreats. Instead of turkey, jerky! What’s better than a yule log? Jerky fires!

    ^(Just $124.99/crate. Nutritional values and expiration date not available at this time.)

  10. Imagine being a middle-class American, working hard to make ends meet, and sending your money to… *Donald Trump*.

    Maybe the human race needs to go extinct.

  11. This is a direct result of draining the swamp. When you’ve fleeced your flock for so long, eventually their wallet will be drained. So kiddos to Trumpedo for keeping at least one 2015 campaign promise.

    Did the writer then go on to say “and this is a real problem for the Kamala campaign”?

  13. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-small-dollar-donors-decrease-1967074) reduced by 72%. (I’m a bot)
    *****
    > Former President Donald Trump's campaign has seen a drastic drop in small-dollar donor contributions since his last run for the White House in 2020.

    > According to an analysis by The Associated Press and OpenSecrets, which tracks political spending, fewer than a third of Trump's campaign contributions have come from donors who gave less than $200. This is a drop from his 2020 campaign when this group of donors made up almost half of all donations.

    > When reached for comment by the AP, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt did not directly respond to the decrease in small-dollar donors but blamed the Biden administration and Harris for a poor economy that has left people with less money, something "President Trump completely understands.”

    He’s already soaked them for everything they have with nothing to show for it except Chinese bibles, sneakers and watches… and now they’re starting to realize he’s just going to pocket the cash and walk away.

    Well the book he sold them told his followers that he is the anti christ. So that’s on him.

    Mr and Ms. MAGAdonia must have spent all their money on dumb stuff like sneakers, $60 bibles made in China, and NFTs.

    We don’t need more campaign money. I have so much money already, from my many, beautiful businesses. I was in New York and they told me ‘Donald you gotta stop making so much money, you’re making too much. It’s not fair to everyone else’. Beautiful money. The Mexicans and Kamala wants to steal your money. That’s how they get you. You go to a restaurant to have a nice meal, and then suddenly the bill is higher than what you thought, cause Kamala added a bunch of sales taxes. So you’re in a restaurant and.. I want to remove all the taxes. I want americans, the true americans, to have all their money back that lyin’ Kamala stole from them while she was president.

    If you want to, you can still support my campaign by buying my Trump Bibles, signed personally by my staff. Only 39,99$ if you order today! That’s the cheapest anyone has ever sold a bible. People tell me I’m crazy to sell them that cheap! Lots of good stuff in there. Jesus would have voted for me, many priests have told me. All the priests tell me this.

  18. Time to cut up another suit. Maybe sell Melanie’s underwear? After the bibles, watches and gold sneakers I don’t think there’s anything he won’t sell as long as his name is on it.

    I’m willing to bet that trump looses by a significantly larger margin than in 2020.

  20. This is totally anecdotal evidence but ive recently been to Texas and rural Oregon. Parts that in 2016 and 2020 had trump banners and flags all over and there are hardly any to be found. In the San antonio area I only saw 1. That was nowhere near the case in 2020.

    I really do think he’s lost a ton of support from the general pop and only the diehard are left.

    Hope I’m not wrong in a month.

  21. That’s because they all ran out of money purchasing trump shit while bitching about inflation.
