The criminal photo was an important turning point in Donald Trump’s life. Since August 24, when the photo was taken at the Fulton District Penitentiary in Georgia, Trump has raised $7.1 million for the 2024 presidential election. Returning to Twitter, Trump also printed his criminal photo on t-shirts, mugs and hats to be used in election campaigns and offered them for sale.
COLLECTED 7.1 MILLION DOLLARS IN 3 DAYS
According to the news of The Hill, the amount of donations in Trump’s 2024 election campaign was announced after his criminal record was taken within the scope of the indictment prepared in Georgia for “interfering with the 2020 election results”.
Trump has raised $7.1 million since August 24 for his nomination.
On the other hand, in the three weeks since the announcement of the indictment in Georgia, $ 20 million was donated to Trump’s campaign.
CRIMINAL PHOTO PRINTED PRODUCTS ON SALE
Taking action after the photo shared on social media fell like a bomb on the country’s agenda, Trump launched a remarkable campaign for the presidential elections in 2024. Trump put his criminal photo on t-shirts, mugs and hats for sale. The products used for election campaigns also included the phrases “Never surrender” and “Freedom for Trump”.
It is stated that the products are offered for sale between 15-34 dollars according to their features and bring a profit of 50 percent. Some experts also say that these campaigns could be a big fundraising event for Trump.
INTENSE ATTENTION FROM THE US PEOPLE
Cj Butler, who bought products with Trump’s photo printed, said, “I think it’s a very classic consumerism for this country. We’re talking about Trump, he sells everything so why can’t he sell a t-shirt?” said. Trump supporter David Kochel said, “His fans will see this and do martial arts training to get a t-shirt and mug for $25. It seems a little sad that at the end of the day he will celebrate his indictment on 13 charges, but that is our policy,” he said.
RETURNED TO TWITTER
Trump returned to the social media platform X, where he last shared on January 8, 2021, after his criminal record photo was taken in Georgia.
In Trump’s first post, “Election interference. Never surrender!” There was a link to the website that led to the fundraising page with a written criminal record.
DELIVERED IN GEORGIA AS PART OF THE “ELECTION INTERFERENCE” CASE
Trump surrendered on August 24 as part of an indictment on charges of interfering with the 2020 election results in the state of Georgia.
Trump, who paid the bail amount determined as 200 thousand dollars within the scope of this case, left the prison in about 20 minutes.
It was the first time a criminal record photo was taken for the arrest file when Trump surrendered. This practice is the first in the country’s history for a US president.
