of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels may have pushed some American voters further away from the Republican frontrunner, many Trump supporters were seemingly animated by it. According, Google searches for "Donald Trump donation" and "Donald Trump donation site" spiked. Within an hour of the verdict, Trump's campaign donation website, which is hosted on a platform called WinRed, crashed.
"So many Americans were moved to donate to President Trump's campaign that the WinRed pages went down," the campaign wrote in the post. "We are working on getting the website back online as quickly as possible.", the site was working again in about an hour. That the site went down at all, though, underscores the reality that many MAGA faithfuls remain unswayed — and in fact, are even motivated — by Trump's legal battles.
It's unclear how much cash the Trump team raked in since the verdict was handed down. Today, the site appears to be working just fine. "I'M A POLITICAL PRISONER!" reads the page's bold, blocky text. "I was just convicted in a RIGGED political Witch Hunt trial: I DID NOTHING WRONG!"
