Donald Trump proudly told supporters today that his campaign raked in $39 million in just 10 hours after he was convicted on all counts in his New York City, the NY Post reports.

The announcement was greeted by a round of applause, as Trump grinned and quipped “I like these people!”

Donald Trump vowed to appeal his conviction on all counts.

He denounced the guilty verdict as a “scam,” and insisted that his team would appeal “on several things,” including allegations that the court blocked the Trump camp’s most crucial witnesses.

“We’re going to be appealing this scam,” Donald Trump just said. “The judge was a tyrant.”

Trump told supporters that he was “honored” by his legal battle.

“It’s not that it’s pleasant, it’s very bad for family, for friends, for businesses,” Trump said.

But, he added, “in a way, I’m honored to be involved in it, because somebody has to do it.”

“We’re fighting for our country, we’re fighting for our Constitution,” he said.

Trump called his former attorney Michael Cohen a “sleazebag” — but skirted around using his one-time ally’s name due to an ongoing gag order.

“At the time, he was an accredited lawyer,” Trump said of his former ties to Cohen, who pleaded guilty to several fraud charges tied to the real estate mogul’s 2016 presidential bid in 2018.

Trump slammed Justice Juan Merchan’s treatment of his former CFO Allen Weisselberg — claiming that the court threw the septuagenarian back in prison to prevent him from testifying.

“He made a plea deal because he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life [in prison],” Trump claimed, adding that Weisselberg, 76, was “threatened” by Merchan.

“Who wouldn’t do that plea? Almost everyone does that plea … but they destroyed his life,” the former president lamented.

“When [Manhattan District Attorney Alvin] Bragg came in, he said, ‘This is the most ridiculous case I’ve ever seen,’ ” Donald Trump just said.

“When I announced I was running for president, a long time later, they decided to revive the case.”

Trump said he “would’ve loved to have testified” in his trial – but was advised not to by his legal team.

“He said, ‘You’re gonna say something like, “It was a beautiful sunny day,” and it was actually raining outside,'” Trump scoffed.

“This is far beyond me,” the former president added of his historic guilty verdict.

“This is a scam, this is a rigged trial. It shouldn’t have been in that venue, we should not have had that judge,” Trump added.

“This can’t be allowed to happen to other presidents,” Donald Trump added. “This is bigger than me.”

“There’s never been a more conflicted judge,” Donald Trump said.

“I’m under a gag order, a nasty gag order. I was threatened with jail.

“Think about it, I’m the leading candidate for president and I’m under a gag order.”

He said the court is in total lockstep with President Biden.

“We have a president and a group of fascists that don’t want to do anything about [illegal immigration],” he told the crowd of about 50 supporters at Trump Tower.

“They’re destroying our country,” Trump lamented.

  1. Trump is being unfairly hounded, and it’s only for political reasons. He means well and I would seriously consider having him, in some capacity, in my administration.
