Donald Trump faced criticism for soliciting funds from his MAGA supporters, despite boasting about his substantial wealth following the conclusion of his New York civil fraud trial.
Political commentator Ron Filipkowski recently took to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) to share a video of the controversial former president requesting funds. The video was posted on Friday, March 29th.
“Please consider lending a hand,” urged Trump in a brief video, proposing contributions of $5, $10, $25, and $100. “Any support you can provide will be greatly appreciated. We are determined to put the funds to good use and emerge victorious.”
The comments section was filled with insults directed at the controversial politician as critics expressed their disdain. In response, one user humorously remarked, “It’s quite amusing to see a billionaire resorting to begging for money and trying to sell cheap bibles and shoes. Pathetic, isn’t it?”
Another individual responded, remarking, “Interestingly, his followers seem to be oblivious to this fact.”
“He is the man whom people believe will restore greatness to America, and it’s quite peculiar. One critic expressed their displeasure, calling him a derogatory term, while another commented on his lack of shame. The fourth critic found it pathetic that so many individuals with questionable sanity would donate to a billionaire who is perceived as dishonest and corrupt.”
“It’s absolutely humiliating to witness,” expressed one user, while another added, “He has completely tarnished his own reputation.”
As previously reported by OK!, Donald Trump, aged 77, was found liable for fraud due to misrepresenting the value of Mar-a-Lago in financial documents. Despite repeatedly insisting that he had done nothing wrong, Trump was ordered to pay over $350 million following the trial.
The total payment, including interest, reached a staggering $454 million.

In a scathing and all-caps rant, President Trump expressed his displeasure with Judge Arthur F. Engoron’s ruling by taking to social media earlier this month.
“I currently possess nearly five hundred million dollars in cash, a significant sum that I had intended to utilize for my presidential campaign,” stated Trump on Truth Social. “The politically biased judge, who has been frequently overturned, was well aware of this fact in the rigged and corrupt case led by the Attorney General. In this case, where I have committed no wrongdoing, the judge aimed to strip me of my funds. Hence, he came up with the astonishing figure of approximately $454,000,000, which, when combined with his exorbitant interest demand, poses a significant burden.”
“I did nothing wrong except for winning an election in 2016, which I wasn’t expected to win. I even performed better in 2020, and now I am leading by a significant margin in the upcoming 2024 elections,” he expressed. “This is nothing short of communism taking hold in America!”
