Democrats and the media believe that they have successfully made Trump a toxic political figure.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Sometimes the American people speak with their wallets and check books.
Since the beginning of this year, Trump political groups have raised a whopping $82 million dollars.
Politico reports:
Trump political groups raised $82M in first half of 2021
Former President Donald Trump’s political committees raised $82 million during the first half of 2021 and have $102 million in the bank, according to federal filings to be made public Saturday evening.
The figures, shared first with POLITICO, underscore the profound reach of Trump’s fundraising power. While the former president is out of office and has been deplatformed on social media sites, he maintains a massive online donor network that he could lean on should he wage a 2024 comeback bid.
The scenario is virtually unprecedented: Never in history has a former president banked nine figures’ worth of donations to power a political operation. Over the first six months of the year, Trump’s political groups whipped up supporters with baseless claims of election fraud to pull in more cash than the Republican Party’s House and Senate campaign arms. The Trump committees raised nearly as much as the Republican National Committee.
The former president’s fundraising was spread across three committees: Save America, a leadership PAC he launched shortly after losing the 2020 election; Make America Great Again PAC, his old campaign account which was converted into a PAC this year; and a joint fundraising outfit that sends its funds to the other two groups.

That is an absolutely massive war chest.
This is just another reminder that even if Trump doesn’t run again in 2024, he will definitely play a major role in the election.
Anyone who runs is going to need his help.
