Cash for Trump is pouring in

If money is anything to go by in the US presidential election - and it is - then Trump is going to walk it in November. Ever since he was convicted of 34 business fraud charges, the donations have surged. This tells you a lot of about a huge number of voters in the US. They just love Trump, convicted felon or not. It is extraordinary and bizarre and beyond comprehension for most of us on the other side of the Atlantic. The only slight comparison here in the UK is with Boris Johnson who remained popular despite a whole series of alleged or proven misdemeanours. Boris, too, enjoyed popularity despite everything. But he did fall in the end, and was ousted. Trump, on the other hand, looks like he is going to thrive politically and personally whatever he does or whatever happens to him in the courts between now and November, especially if the money keeps rolling in. Joe Biden must be getting worried that even though the latest polls show he is just ahead of Trump, he is not going to be the victor at the end of the presidential race.
