“Former President Donald Trump’s campaign says it has raised $7 million since last Thursday, when he became the first ex-president in U.S. history to be indicted — balancing out to about $2 million per day.” — Forbes Daily, 4/4/23

  1. Anyone. Literally, anyone.
  2. Also, and I’m just spitballing here: Native American women, who are paid 51 cents for every dollar a white man earns; Latina women, who are paid 54 cents for every dollar a white man earns; Black women, who are paid 64 cents for every dollar a white man earns; white women, who are paid 73 cents for every dollar a white man earns; Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women, who are paid 75 cents for every dollar a white man earns. See also: mixed race women, all women, women. (Source: National Partnership for Women and Families)

Think what $7 million could do to transform the lives of people all over the world who are starving, suffering from abuse, unable to afford healthcare. Think about the people who, rather than invest in these worthy causes, have chosen to invest in a literal terrorist who tried to overthrow our government, not to mention a corrupt, racist, misogynistic, criminal, anti-intellectual, opportunistic, stunted man.
