Trump piles in the money post mugshot

The state of politics in the US today: Donald Trump appears at a county jail on serious election-interference charges and is the first president ever to have a police mugshot taken of him and since then has raised more than $7 million in donations from adoring fans. He raised more than $4 million on Friday alone, the day after he was booked at Fulton county jail in Atlanta, Georgia. So the adoration of Donald Trump continues whatever he does or says. Maureen Dowd, the scathing anti-Trump columnist for The New York Times has written probably her most damning piece ever on the former president in her column today. But will it make a difference? I'm afraid not. The extraordinary donation statistics are evidence alone that this man remains armour-proofed against anything thrown at him. Politics in America is all about money money money and Trump is never going to be short of cash. Everyone decent in the US, from President Joe Biden to all Democrat voters and every non-Trump-loving Republican has every reason to be fearful of the future.
