Donald Trump was found guilty of charges that he conspired to make a secret payment to porn star Stormy Daniels. After the former president declared that “it was a rigged trial,” and asked his followers for donations, the fundraising page collapsed due to the large number of people who obeyed the former president.
Trump’s campaign team reported in a post on that the system crashed.
“WinRed pages fell”
“The American people realize the rigged show trial of corrupt Joe Biden,” they wrote in the post.
“So many Americans were motivated to donate to President Trump’s campaign that the WinRed pages went down,” they added.
In the same post they explained to Trump supporters that they were “working to get the website back online as quickly as possible. Stay strong.”
Shortly after, they managed to reactivate the account to notify the public that the website was back online.
The American people see through Crooked Joe Biden’s rigged show trial.
So many Americans were moved to donate to President Trump’s campaign that the WinRed pages went down.
We are working on getting the website back online as quickly as possible.
Stay strong.

Search for Trump at its highest level
Business Insider reported that preliminary Google trends data shows that searches for “Donald Trump donation” rose to their highest level in four years.
According to the same media outlet, they explained that the website’s counter had recorded around 82,000 people who had contributed donations, after being found guilty.
After Judge Merchán’s decision was made public, the reaction of Donald Trump, who became the first former president of the United States to be found guilty in a criminal trial, was immediate.
The former president insisted on his innocence, and upon leaving the court in Manhattan, Trump classified the trial as “a disgrace” and criticized the legal process against him. He quickly assured that he will appeal the decision.
“This was a trial rigged by a conflictive judge who is corrupt. We are going to continue fighting until the end and we are going to win. The real verdict will be on November 5 (presidential election day) by the people. “They know what happened here, I am a very innocent man,” he commented.
