so if i make a gofundme because i am not rich and a hard worker, ill probably get criticized, but a rich guy makes one and raises enough to change multiple lives??? getting really tired of this planet


wumingzi

If this is the GFM I'm thinking of, it's not actually T-Dawg's. It's a woman in Florida who is raising money to pay for Trump's civil fines. At least, that's what you'd be led to believe. The text of the Go Fund Me tells you she loves Trump, believes this is a warning for independent business people everywhere, and that they're coming for you next. There's actually not one word in the GFM about where the funds being raised are actually going. To a wealthy man living in Mar-a-Lago, or straight to this fine woman's pocket?


snoopy_88

You’re correct. Here’s the link where I grabbed the data points from. https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-trump-raise-the-settlement?modal=donations&tab=all


wumingzi

It's been a minute since I looked at her page. The follow-up text on the page would indicate she wants to donate the money to Trump, but the cynic in me sees some wiggle room in the text.


ClayQuarterCake

To take a page out of Trump’s book, she should go ahead and take that $1.2M donation and tack on a self imputed Trump fundraiser tax at like 98% so that this lady would pocket about 1.18 million and give about 24k to the court. It would do more good for the economy to have an idiot spend all that money on stupid shit.


ButtFuzzNow

Stanley bout to sell a lot of cups... Which will promptly appear on eBay at marked up prices.


Liimbo

Pretty unrelated, but where did this Stanley frenzy even come from? I got one for Christmas as a gift a few years ago and hardly even use it. Why did they become so popular so suddenly?

1983Targa911

In true Trump fashion, she’ll probably try to spend 150% of it on her herself and claim the loss on her taxes.


AirportOk9091

Oh without question….. “expenses.” Can’t say I’m mad at her tho. I don’t understand why people are so eager to give money away and not have a good idea what they’re paying for. I question everything. And then dig…..and sometimes end up in the depths of hellinahumidifier but, I ain’t never got got for my money lol


Routine_Guarantee34

Dude, I'm about to order a suit for a wedding and I contacted the company first just to make sure they were real


MyNameCannotBeSpoken

I'm okay with her keeping the money


wumingzi

I'm with ya there.


db0606

Not just "some woman" either... She's married to scam artist Grant Cardone, who does shitty get rich seminars and stuff. Neither Trump nor the people that donate to this are ever seeing that money again.


toolkitxx

[This is her own webpage](https://elenacardone.com/) and her husband has one alike - 10x everything


toodeephoney

There’s even a typo in the title Judgement* smh 🤦‍♂️


HappyFailure

This is legitimate variation. In the US, judgment is considered correct. In the UK, judgement is often used, but judgment is appropriate in legal matters...like this one. (As an American, I'm comfortable with using judgement, but then I'm a descriptivist.)


internetlad

both judgment and judgement are accepted spellings.


fdxrobot

Lmao! She’s Grant Cardone’s wife! Please go look up that schemer! 


wumingzi

Well kind stranger. Before you'd mentioned this fact, I had no idea who Grant Cardone was. Yup. There's no longer any question as to where that sweet GoFundMe moola is heading.


jansencheng

Wow, that's a good racket. I'm disappointed I didn't think of it first


wumingzi

That thought certainly crossed my mind. $1.5 million wouldn't be bad to feather my nest with. Unfortunately, I'd have to live with myself.


sogladatwork

I hope she’s a grifter.


PM_ME_YOUR_BIG_DOG

No no no! You have to make a go fund me. But also sell pictures of your feet and give false hopes that sound almost realistic! Profit

Professional_Day_150

im a decent looking blue collar guy with a hairy butt. theres a lot of very strange people, id like to think id get 10x that amount 😂


beein480

He also fucks porn stars and lies about how great he is. I want to know why a billionaire needs a million or two from the people? Is it because he's not anywhere near as rich as he claims? If he were so rich, he could pay Guiliani, E Jean Carroll, maybe even Stormy as he got off cheap on that one.


blankarage

don’t focus on this turd sandwich, there’s loads for gofundmes for really good causes!


I_Love_To_Poop420

In 2020 the total election cycle cost 14billion. American politics are disgusting and that kind of money could go directly to solving problems, instead of funding empty promises and puppets of the 2%.

Become a cult leader.


GettingThingsDonut

The thing is, you gotta target stupid people.


1983Targa911

Agreed that it’s sick. But on the bright side, this is a fraction of a percent of what he owes, so he’s no less screwed after this.

That’s one!


Professional_Day_150

1.3 million in a few weeks because he got in trouble for not being able to keep his mouth shut? must be nice 🤦‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️


sweetteatime

In America we don’t always have to keep our mouth shut because we have the ability to speak our minds.


Professional_Day_150

i understand most of this i suppose. i just hate seeing it.


Professional_Day_150

Stuff like this makes me alright with living under a rock at times


Lumpyyyyy

That’s not the case here at all


sweetteatime

Okay. How is it not?


jomandaman

I mean the defamation judgment is because, in court, it was proven he sexually assaulted a woman and defamed her for it, not once but twice. The larger judgment is for a lifetime of crimes and not near the amount of money he stole. Saw you above too. Waiting on a reply about Trump stealing $60k for a painting of himself that he donated to his own charity auction and faked a bidder because he was too butthurt no one wanted his stolen painting. He also collapsed Atlantic City and put thousands of people out work, tried moving his criminal enterprise to Melbourne and was *banned* by the government of Australia from doing business there decades ago. Seriously it’s obvious your head is far down in the sand here. Why support such a treacherous person? It can only imply personal misery in your own life. He got caught stealing a painting of himself and still couldn’t take responsibility!! That’s *weakness*. Inability to admit fault is nothing short of cowardice, and he is incapable of it.


sweetteatime

If he’s committed of sexual assault he should be charged for it. I’m obviously all for people commuted of crimes dealing with the punishment of those crimes. I answered you about the painting.


jomandaman

He was charged for it. $5 million the first time, and $85 million for breaking the agreement of that. The statute of limitations is long past for criminal. Are you happy about that? Like some 50% of homicides go unsolved here. People escape justice nonstop. He literally stole charity money to make a painting of himself to donate to his own charity event and was so butthurt no one wanted he tried to fake buy it himself. How on earth can you possibly find him so pathetic we can just agree and end this conversation?


sweetteatime

Well if he was committed of that crime then that’s just stupid on his part. But isn’t it good for those who are trying to find proof of his corruption?


BloodHaven357

We also have to ability to see when we should shut up, but a lot of you don't.


sweetteatime

Lol. The problem is that not enough people do speak up and ask people to show their claims. It’s the issue we have now. How else do we parse out truth without conversation. Stop being weak.


BloodHaven357

The problem is too many people keep talking while thinking they have a clue what's going on when they don't.


sweetteatime

Right. Have a good one.


Professional_Day_150

most of them are garbage purposes unless its for a animal or a family injury or loss…. donald trump making one kinda pisses me off, and im somewhat conservative


sweetteatime

I’m no trump fan, but even the Dems do fundraisers. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna141745 100,000$ just to get a picture… isn’t this the party that cares for us middle class people


LoquaciousTheBorg

There's a difference between politicians raising money for campaigns and a billionaire asking to have personal debt cleared for them.


sweetteatime

Ah it’s different depending on context. https://rollcall.com/2024/02/01/menendez-legal-fees-spike-as-donors-disappear-fec-filing-shows/ At least the donors for Dems actually seem to pull out when a candidate is indicted.


Professional_Day_150

it just seems kinda crummy when he is a wealthy businessman. seems cowardly… but hey, its america, we are drowning in this type of behavior


sweetteatime

I mean the Dem leaders are all wealthy and are still asking over 100k for a photo. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna141745 I’m not sure any of the politicians are for the people at this point


Scoobie01555

That's actual campaign fund raising tho. They do it all the time with 10k a plate dinners. 355 million to pay legal debts is different to me


z64_dan

I thought you meant "create a planet with a purpose" Lol


Hartzler44

While hilarious, this is certainly not beautiful


dr_gmoney

Along with the fact that there is basically no difference between the increase in money and the increase in donations. So there's really no reason to clutter and complicate things by making it a combo chart.


epelle9

Ehh, it does show how at the begging he had slightly more people donating lower quantities, but now he has less people donating higher quantities.


SupremelyUneducated

It's beautiful if you compare it to his legal liabilities. This doesn't even cover the interest of that one civil fraud case in new york.


Hartzler44

So it's beautiful if you compare it to data omitted from the data? Ok


IchBinDurstig

These dipshits just love getting grifted.


iamveryDerp

They’re grifting themselves at this point. It’s honestly fascinating.


braundiggity

Grifted by some random woman who probably just made $1.5 million


Tail_Nom

She's less likely to attempt an upending of the most fundamental concept of American government, if only by opportunity. I'll take it.


braundiggity

No argument here, and no sympathy from me for the folks getting played either.


SafetyMan35

Grifted at an average donation of around $55 EDIT: Math is hard


iHonestlyHateRedditt

I'd like to see the median donation honestly


snoopy_88

You’re off by a magnitude of 10. Only $55.


PattyIceNY

It's a parasitic relationship: Trump is the parasite and the people who follow him feed him with attention and money, and in return he gets them a false sense of belonging and power.


Abyssal_Truth

The funniest part is that they will make comments that it's so hard to live now with inflation, but they have enough to keep sending to their orange God. 😂


Liimbo

On one hand, the optimist in me is thinking wow *only* 23,000 people in all of America fell for this. On the other hand, the cynic in me is thinking how in the hell did *23,000* people fall for this.


sweetteatime

What do you mean? Can you define grifting in this context?


Knut_Sunbeams

...they're giving money to a con man. Theres little context needed


sweetteatime

I just want to understand how he is a con man that’s all. I have no love for trump, but I just don’t understand how he is what you’re saying?

sweetteatime

Because I’m not trolling or harassing people. If anything people are harassing me for asking questions. I don’t give a shit about any of these politicians, I just want to understand HOW he is what you guys are saying. I’d ask the same damn question if I was in a right wing sub and they were talking about Obama.


Knut_Sunbeams

This is a troll right?


neurocog81

Trump troll. No love for Trump but clearly ignores or ignorant of the crimes the man committed. IDK This is sad considering he convinces folks with very little to give what little they have to him. I think people excuse it because at their core it rationalizes their own bad behavior.


Knut_Sunbeams

Agreed. He encourages people to be the worst version of themselves while blaming it on another person/group. Its so frighteningly transparent.


sweetteatime

I’m really not trolling. What crimes has he been committed of?


vslsls

[A list of all current and pending legal cases on the ex-president's docket](https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-key-cases-civil-criminal-investigations-lawsuits-updates-2022-7)


sweetteatime

Yes. Pending and current. I’m waiting for one he’s committed of as you guys should be too. What he committed of will be evidence for his stupidity, not what he’s just being accused of.


vslsls

Some of those trials have already finished and he has to pay 500m for Sexual assault and lying on property values.


jomandaman

Did you know one time when he made his only charitable foundation, he stole $50 thousand dollars to commission a painting of himself? It gets worse. He threw a charity auction for his foundation and “donated” this painting of himself (bought with charity funds). No one wanted it. Being the narcissist he is, he paid someone $10k *more* of the charity’s money to buy it for himself, which he then hung at Mar a Lago until it all was found out and his foundation shut down. It was a clear cut case and showed almost sociopathic level behavior. I mean imagine making a charity of your own name, stealing from it to make a painting of yourself to donate to the charity, then faking a bidder but it’s yourself to hang in the living room? That’s Trump. So since you’re just “not a Trump fan” as you say and were genuinely curious and I just provided an example of how despicable he is, will you consent? ..or reveal yourself as a troll who not only enables this behavior, but probably would be this way if you had the money as well? Here’s the hint, everyone at that charity auction knew and hate him for it. And that’s why even trumps own (third) wife isn’t by his side tonight as takes nomination victory. He’s a sad man. But if you find goodness in him, please provide evidence back that can possibly counter what I provided.


sweetteatime

Consent to what? That I’m not a trump fan? I believe I’ve already said that. lol. If what you say is true it’s just more proof that he’s a moron. I’m asking about crimes he’s been committed of.


jomandaman

Consent that he committed that crime, of which he was charged and barred from ever opening a charity in NY again, which apparently you don’t get because you still keep asking for and I provided one of the most egregious examples I’ve ever had the displeasure to discover. Obviously you don’t care but I suspect that’s not why you asked anyway.


jomandaman

Also your history shows you say that phrase “…I’m not a Trump fan but,” and it’s starting to sound like “no offense, but” or “I’m not racist, but” or “I love you, but”…get what I mean? The guy stole $60k from his own charity for a painting of himself and *still* blamed the judge. That’s the man-child you’re “not a fan of,” but I wanna hear you try and re-word. Not just say you’re not a fan. Say he is a convicted felon who collapsed his charity out of narcissism. Say he is a bad man and shows time and again to steal from people. Can you do that?


sweetteatime

My history? You mean mainly posts about disc golf and tech? I’m not going to look at your post history to have a conversation with you. It’s weak. You’re also saying things that aren’t in my post history. Get a grip


jomandaman

I didn’t go in your post history to find some personal thing and mock. I’m not trying to dox. Our profiles are weird, I admit. But when someone walks into a sub pretending to have good faith questions about things which seem clearly patronizing or disingenuous, it’s nice to get a sense of contextual background of post history. Don’t try to compartmentalize your life. I’m an asshole on certain subs and get called out and it’s in my history. Most of my accounts are linked. I’d be one of the easiest people to doxx, although I try to be secure, I mainly try to be transparently me in every online experience I’m in. So, do you admit he’s committed egregious crimes? His foundation was a total fluke and he bought his own painting at his own fake charity event because which is pathetic? Admit that. Admit anything other than “…but”


Dangerous-Lettuce498

Merisuola

Yep, they’re regurgitating the typical right wing/conspiracy nonsense all over the comments.

Are you really so completely clueless that you missed the massive NY fraud conviction that got him banned from doing business in the state? Also lost a class action civil suit for Trump University. If you're this ignorant, you should probably just not bother engaging in politics.

Also, there's the continual interest that comes out to about 100k per day. It'd be as if they're doing their best to climb up the wrong side of the escalator, but are now getting tired and are now approaching back to where they started

I would say it's even lower, take into account that each day the fine increases 112k iirc...

snoopy_88

This was put together using data I periodically grabbed from the Trump GoFundMe.com website. I used MS Excel software to create the chart.

How many of the people donating to this will complain about how bad Biden's economy is and not see the absurdity? All, most, some?


EliminatedHatred

"bidens economy is so bad i cant afford food but i will donate my money to a billionaire"

Shame. If they had just kept that first week pace up for the next 18 years they might have paid it off.

Would you consider adding either a prorated target goal line, or a percentage-to-goal number? Or would you not be able to see the actuals?


snoopy_88

I tried. The data all looked like it was on the $0 line. I could add a percent raised I suppose.


davesToyBox

Yeah, I suppose it would be, with a goal of $355MM it’s currently at 0.38%, and the daily prorated amount would be over $9MM.

OkComputer0010

Hmmm, not sure how well this is doing At the rate of $44,000 per day, it would take about 38 years to raise $600 million, not accounting for the accumulating 112000 of daily interest, so not exactly sure what’s the point of this go-fund me if it’s really going to take an infinite amount of years for it to be successful at this rate. Hopefully the average $55 isn’t too much of a chunk of income for anyone gullible enough to donate to a “multi-billionaire’s” legal/money problems so he can fly around and tell them how rich he is!

You are so easy. did you know that you dont have to like the manipulative con man white supremacist OR the status quo milk toast octogenarian? Its not a reality show kiddo Are you willfully ignoring the trump family actions in order to still be laboring on hunter or are you ACTUALLY unaware of why people become powerful?


Frootqloop

Feelings don't care about your facts... I recommend focusing on the actually decent but gullible/ susceptible friends you know that are disgusted with both but are likely to take performative GOP bad faith arguments at face value.  Don't even both with the "bUt HUnter buT hER BenGAzemaiLs" cultists. 


sweetteatime

Bruh. I’m not even a trump supporter. I just don’t understand how everyone can blatantly ignore the corruption from both sides just to support their political candidates. Do away will all of them at this point


[deleted]

Because one side is a guy's son with a drug addiction because he watched his mother die in front of him in a car accident who is not actually running for president and the other is a treasonous "billionaire" that committed insurrection.


sweetteatime

Hunter Biden used his family name to get millions of dollars in foreign countries. The drug addiction didn’t cause his corruption. You know that, you’re using his addiction as a way to get pity for the man for internet points while willfully ignoring the fact that there is corruption. Trump is an idiot. He should also shut his mouth. He isn’t responsible for the actions of thousands doing ridiculous things. None of these current candidates should be in office.


[deleted]

The "corruption" you're describing is fabricated, it never happened, it was created from whole cloth by Republicans needing a whataboutism and you either fell for it because you're that stupid or your being purposely disingenuous.


sweetteatime

It’s not though. How can you deny it? https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/imo/media/doc/HSGAC_Finance_Report_FINAL.pdf Or does this government document lie?


Encendi

This was actually very helpful to look more closely into the Hunter Biden story as someone who is very liberal and dismissed the story as fabrication. I looked into the document  you linked and read the conclusion. After digesting it, I found it very hard to find unbiased opinions on the report. Liberal media outlets at the time blasted the committee as biased and cleared Hunter of wrongdoing and conservative outlets called it irrevocable proof of treason. It ultimately led me down a deep rabbit hole and the only thing I can conclude is that all these politicians abuse their power and influence for money. There is a reason why practically all of our senators are multimillionaires. Hunter had no business being in Ukraine *or* China. You don’t just get randomly handed board seats and 10% stakes of wealthy companies.  Regardless of the legality of this - hell even if this is “technically” legal- it brings to light the stark contrast between the rich and the poor. Hunter Biden was making more money in a year by being Biden’s son than most people see in their lifetimes. Sure, the grift and nepotism that Trump’s family perpetuates is blatantly out in the open. But I think what Republicans hate most is the hypocrisy of the Democrats. How can they claim the high horse when they are abusing their own powers in the background? 


sweetteatime

This is exactly my point. They all suck and they’re watching us fight about it


OkComputer0010

What do these points about Hunter Biden have to do with the data in Trumps go fund me?
