The Facts
Former US Pres. Donald Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced they raised $50.5M at Saturday's Trump 2024 campaign event in Palm Beach, Florida.
That's nearly double the approximately $26M raised by incumbent Democratic Pres. Joe Biden at an event alongside former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama in March, and is a record for the most raised at a single event.
The Spin
Anti-Trump narrative
It's no surprise Trump's circle of morally corrupt billionaires wish to see one of their own back in power. Those at the top of America's food chain have no respect for genuine law and order and are more than willing to send an alleged criminal to the White House if it's to their benefit. While many average Americans continue falling for Trump's lies, it's the oligarchy that the former president truly serves.
Pro-Trump narrative
Trump's historic night embarrassed the pitiful sum raised by Biden last month, and now Democrats are panicking. While the establishment elite will hypocritically continue accusing Trump of being in the pockets of big-money donors, the statistics don't lie — Americans of all stripes are sending a clear message of rejection to the Biden administration.
