Donald Trump has announced that he is withdrawing from the electoral race. What was the reason for the message

Republican candidate Donald Trump caused a surprise on Monday by sending an April 1 message to his supporters, which, in fact, was intended to raise new funds for his candidacy in the presidential elections in November, reports AFP.

“I am suspending my campaign”. Donald Trump surprised everyone on Monday by sending this message to his supporters. It was, in fact, a message from April 1st, even intended to raise new funds for his candidacy for the presidential elections in November.

The former Republican president, who is trying to unseat Democrat Joe Biden from the White House, sent this short text to his constituents via email and SMS, accompanied by a link. By clicking on it, his supporters were directed to a site inviting them to donate $5,500 or $3,300 to his campaign. “Did you really think I wanted to suspend my campaign? April 1st hoax,” he wrote in capital letters.

For several years, American voters have been inundated with text messages, e-mails and phone calls – sometimes more than 10 a day – inviting them to contribute financially to the candidates’ campaigns. This forces candidate teams to be increasingly creative in order to stand out. In a country where electoral victories are obtained with billions of dollars, the donations they collect are extremely valuable.

Donald Trump frequently courts his supporters by talking about his legal problems. “Biden’s Department of Justice is trying to LOCK me up for life,” he asserts, without evidence, in certain messages.

But Donald Trump’s campaign coffers are, for the moment, less full than those of Joe Biden, who is also running for a new mandate. In addition, the Republican candidate owes the justice a bail of 175 million dollars following his trial for fraud within the Trump Organization.

Trump races ideas to raise money. A few days before Easter, he announced the launch of a paid partnership with a country music star to offer a Bible for sale. The former president of the United States had already launched a new model of sneakers in February, to everyone’s surprise.

Joe Biden’s campaign team is relishing this financial advantage, calling the billionaire, himself a big fan of cruel nicknames, “The Bankrupt Don.”
