Donald Trump is not as hated as the left would have you believe, according to polls and his fundraising jars. Surprisingly, the former president continues to enjoy a flood of support despite being accused of handling secret documents on 37 federal counts.
Trump was taken before a federal court on Tuesday for arraignment. The former president, who is currently vying for the GOP nomination in 2024, defied the left’s predictions and did not withdraw in disgrace. He chose to maintain his defiance.

Contrary to expectations, his campaign saw a spike in support following his Miami court appearance. According to Fox News, a staggering $6.6 million in donations poured in within a short period of time.
Through its online donation system, the Trump campaign received $4.5 million, with a sizable chunk of that amount coming from small donors.
The major funders remained steadfast in the face of accusations. After his arraignment, the former president went to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he successfully garnered a hefty $2.1 million from his fans.
As Politico noted Wednesday, “Trump has still been able to rely on deep pocketed supporters to fill his campaign coffers even amid his legal troubles.”
This is not his first financial windfall as a result of testifying in court.
“Trump appears to be getting another fundraising bump after the latest indictment. Trump’s campaign said it raised $4 million in the first 24 hours — and $15.4 million in the two weeks — after he was indicted by Manhattan’s district attorney in late March,” Fox News reported.
Beyond financial data, Trump’s continued support is clear despite the arrests.
NO WAY! The Shocking Truth About Trump Exposed
According to a new CBS News/YouGov poll, Trump’s followers have banded together to back him.
2,480 adults in the United States were surveyed by pollsters last week. Following the unsealing of the former president’s indictment on June 9, 1,798 of the respondents were contacted once more.
Recent polls found that a resounding 76% of prospective Republican primary voters were more concerned about the claims being politically driven than they were about any possible damage to national security posed by President Trump’s handling of sensitive information.
Additionally, only 38% of the aforementioned group voiced worries that keeping sensitive documents at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home would have posed a threat to national security.
Furthermore, 61 percent of potential Republican voters who had already decided to support the former President did not change their minds in the wake of the indictment. Surprisingly, 14% of them even claimed to have changed their minds about Trump as a result of the indictment.
In addition, an overwhelming 80% of people said they thought he should still be eligible to run for president even if he is found guilty of something.
Only 20% of people think that a conviction should prevent him from running for president again.
The weight of the evidence implies that Republicans don’t see Trump’s impeachment as a legal matter but rather as a partisan move on the part of Democrats. But they continue to support the former president wholeheartedly.
