In a defiant move following a $350 million judgment in a civil fraud case against him, former President Donald Trump finds support from backers rallying to his aid through a newly launched GoFundMe campaign.
Spearheaded by Elena Cardone, the initiative aims to counter what supporters perceive as biased legal proceedings against the Trump family in New York.
Cardone, wife of prominent investor Grant Cardone, voiced unwavering solidarity with Trump, denouncing what she described as unjust treatment by certain elements within the New York judiciary.
“I stand unwaveringly with President Donald Trump in the face of what I see as unprecedented and unfair treatment by certain judicial elements in New York,” she asserted.

The fundraising effort, titled “Stand with Trump; Fund the $355M Unjust Judgment,” seeks not only to alleviate Trump’s financial burden but also to symbolize a broader defense of businesses and individuals perceived to be unfairly targeted by legal authorities.
The campaign, which has garnered over $67,000 in donations, reflects both staunch support for Trump and vehement opposition.
While some contributors have pledged symbolic amounts to express their disdain for the former president’s actions, others view the initiative as a critical means of defending democracy and the rule of law.
This fundraising endeavor adds to a series of legal battles Trump has faced since leaving office, with significant financial resources allocated to his defense. Despite mounting legal debts, Trump’s appeal to his base for financial assistance has proven successful, galvanizing supporters and generating substantial contributions.
Amidst accusations of election interference and cries of injustice, Trump’s legal battles continue to escalate, signaling a protracted and contentious legal saga.
As Trump navigates a complex web of legal challenges, his ability to rally financial support underscores the enduring loyalty of his base and the polarization surrounding his presidency.
With the GoFundMe campaign symbolizing a grassroots effort to challenge perceived legal injustices, Trump’s legal woes evolve into a battleground for ideological and political conflicts, with far-reaching implications for the future of American democracy.
