Donald Trump turns to GoFundMe to pay for his legal woes

Published

on

Former President Donald Trump finds himself in a precarious financial situation, with a recent GoFundMe campaign to assist him drawing widespread ridicule after raising a mere fraction of the required amount.

The GoFundMe initiative, aimed at helping Trump cover the $544 million he has been ordered to pay as part of a civil fraud case, has managed to gather just 0.02% of the staggering sum.

It underscores the mounting legal and financial challenges facing the former president as his legal bills continue to escalate.

The court’s decision, issued by the Supreme Court of New York, came after Trump and several of his associates were found liable for civil fraud.

The case centered around allegations that they had inflated property valuations to secure favorable loan terms and insurance rates.

Notably, the judgment also barred Trump from conducting business in his home state of New York for three years.

Lack of contrition

In delivering the ruling, Justice Arthur F. Engoron criticized the defendants for their lack of contrition, noting their repeated refusal to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

Despite Trump’s considerable wealth, estimated at around $4 billion, the court’s decision has placed a substantial financial burden on him.

This latest legal setback adds to a string of troubles for Trump, who was recently ordered to pay $126 million in damages for defamation in a separate case.

These legal woes coincide with his ambitions to secure the Republican nomination for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

GoFundMe case

In an effort to alleviate some of the financial pressure, a GoFundMe campaign was launched by Elena Cardone, wife of entrepreneur Grant Cardone.

However, the campaign’s modest success, garnering $205,000 from 3,200 donors, pales in comparison to the monumental sum Trump is obligated to pay.

Social media users were quick to mock the campaign’s lackluster performance, with many questioning why a billionaire would require such public fundraising efforts.

Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Jr., who were also found liable in the civil fraud case, faced similar criticism after being ordered to pay millions in damages.

Trump confirms U.S. strike on Iran’s nuclear sites amid rising tensions; Israel intensifies operations, Iran vows to continue enrichment, and Houthi militants threaten U.S. shipping.


President Trump has confirmed that U.S. forces successfully struck three nuclear facilities in Iran – Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan – with all aircraft safely exiting Iranian airspace. The mission, involving B-2 stealth bombers, comes amid rising tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its military operations, killing three top Iranian military leaders and striking a major nuclear facility in Isfahan. The Israeli chief of staff warned the operation may lead to a prolonged and complex war.

Iran responded by vowing to continue uranium enrichment and said talks with the U.S. are off the table unless Israel halts its attacks. In a parallel move, Houthi militants threatened U.S. and commercial ships in the Red Sea if American strikes continue in support of Israel.

Adding to the volatility, an Iranian drone hit northern Israel, with the IDF confirming the incident—though no casualties were reported. The U.S. State Department is now organising flights to evacuate Americans from Israel.

Trump announces successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, while Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iranian leadership.

In Short:
President Trump announced U.S. strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran, confirming all aircraft left Iranian airspace after the operation. Meanwhile, Israel ramped up its military actions against Iran, leading to warnings from Iranian officials and Houthi militants regarding potential escalations.

President Trump announced on Saturday that the United States had successfully completed strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran: Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.

In a social media post, he confirmed all U.S. aircraft had exited Iranian airspace following the operation.

This military action was preceded by the deployment of stealth B-2 bombers from Missouri, capable of carrying the GBU-57 bunker buster, a powerful weapon considered effective against the Fordow uranium-enrichment facility.

Trump had earlier indicated to senior aides that he approved attack plans for Iran, awaiting Tehran’s decision on its nuclear program.

Meanwhile, Israel’s military intensified its operations against Iranian military leaders and nuclear sites, announcing the elimination of three senior Iranian figures and strikes on the Isfahan facility. Israel’s military chief warned of a potentially prolonged conflict, describing it as the nation’s most complex military undertaking.

In response, Iranian officials stated their refusal to halt uranium enrichment and indicated that negotiations with the U.S. would only occur if Israel ceased its attacks.

Additionally, the U.S. State Department announced the initiation of flights to facilitate the return of American citizens from Israel.

Houthi militants also issued a warning to target U.S. and commercial vessels in the Red Sea should American attacks in support of Israel commence.

Amidst this, an Iranian drone attack recently damaged a building in northern Israel, marking an acknowledged drone strike by the Israeli military during the ongoing conflict. No casualties were reported from the incident.
