Donald Trump is receiving some assistance in paying his growing legal bills through a GoFundMe page that is on its way to half a million after just a few days.
A “Stand with Trump” page was created last week by Elena Cardone with the goal of raising $355 million to cover the damages the former president was ordered to pay in his New York fraud case. As of Monday morning, the fundraiser for Trump has brought in more than $430,000 from 8,700 donations.
The top donation to the page was $10,000, while others averaged around $20 to $100.
“We must stand up together,” Cardone wrote on X, formerly Twitter, about the fundraising campaign.
Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump to pay the $300-plus million in a Friday ruling that also bars the former president of running a business in New York for the next three years. He was accused of inflating the value of his properties to receive more beneficial loans and agreements.
On top of that judgment, Trump was recently ordered to pay more than $80 million to writer E. Jean Carroll for defamation. A jury found Trump liable for sexually assaulting Carroll in the ’90s, something he continues to deny doing.
A day after Engoron’s judgment, Trump introduced $400 gold sneakers at Philadelphia’s Sneaker Con.
