A fundraising email from Donald Trump’s election campaign claims the former president was “tortured” when he surrendered to a Georgia jail last August.
Last August, when Trump was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on charges of election fraud, the Trump campaign benefited from his law enforcement image to the tune of more than $4 million.
They splashed his glowering image on campaign merchandise, including t-shirts, mugs, beers and more.
Before Trump’s first debate with Biden and after his convictions in Manhattan, he is being used again in a campaign email sent on Monday.
The email says: ‘I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail and THEY TOOK MY POLICE PHOTO. Guess what?’
A fundraising email from Donald Trump’s election campaign claims the former president was “tortured” when he surrendered to a Georgia jail last August.
The email reads: ‘I want you to remember what they did to me. They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail and TOOK MY MUGSHOT. Guess what?’ He says his response was to “put it on a mug for EVERYONE TO SEE” along with a picture of the mug.
He says his response was to “put it on a mug for EVERYONE TO SEE” along with a photo of the mug.
The campaign is offering the item in exchange for a $47 donation to Trump’s 2024 election effort.
A February report from WinRed, the Republican online fundraising platform, confirmed that Trump raised a whopping $4.2 million the day after his mugshot was posted.
Trump is still facing sentencing in the Manhattan business fraud case, in which he was convicted of 34 counts of forgery.
He is also accused of mishandling classified documents found at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
He has done little to slow his campaign’s momentum as he enters the first debate with Joe Biden on Thursday.
Trump gained a five-point rise in general election polls taken before his felony conviction in the hush money trial compared to after.
When Trump, Joe Biden and other third-party candidates were taken into account, the former president returned with a massive 10 percent lead over the incumbent president.
The Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where Trump turned himself in
A February report from WinRed, the Republican online fundraising platform, confirmed that Trump raised a whopping $4.2 million the day after his mugshot was posted.
The jump is likely due to the results of the Manhattan trial, in which Trump became a convicted felon guilty of 34 counts for falsifying records related to his hush money to porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. .
In the June 20 Rasmussen Reports poll, 46 percent say they would vote for Trump, compared to 36 percent who say they would vote for Biden.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. got 9 percent, Cornel West got 2 percent, Jill Stein got 1 percent, and the remaining 7 percent chose other candidates or were undecided.
The same poll conducted by Rasmussen from May 28 to 30 – before the jury verdict in Trump’s trial – showed the former president winning by 5 percent.
Forty-four percent of voters surveyed last month said they chose Trump compared to 39 percent who said they would vote for Biden if the election were held today.
In that poll, RFK Jr. got 8 percent, while West and Stein each got 1 percent.
While the latest results are not the largest margin of victory Rasmussen shows for Trump, it was a huge jump from month to month.
This is largely attributed to Trump’s first criminal trial.
Multiple polls showed Trump with a boost in polls and fundraising after the verdict was handed down in late May.
A post-verdict poll showed that 27 percent of voters were more likely to vote for Trump after the call.
