For the last two weeks I published diaries highlighting the returns in the gofundme that was created by Elena Cardone in order to pay for tRump’s huge fine by New York state. It was fun enjoying the seriously diminishing returns in the first. Days in which the numbers were less than one thousand.
Last week we saw more people stepping up, because they worried for him, and there were a couple days in which he got enough in contributions to actually pay for the day’s interest. But then contributions slowed down, and with two things — the reduction in the bond (which is not the same as the reduction in the fine) and tRump announcing he has the cash (but tRump is hardly reliable, so who knows) — contributions are now way down..
Let’s look at the numbers:

*The 1st entry is the average over many days.
Note that interest and contributions were already coming down by 3/23.
Maybe he’ll get the money together in the next 10, 9, 8 days. Or not.
He’s going to need to sell a lot of those Bibles whose pages are hard to open.
Also, let me know your thoughts and analysis.
🐦 I do a lot of other writing. A recent offering: the Crow Nickels (chronicles), a trilogy about crows who want to save birdkind from extinction: Hunters of the Feather, Scavengers of Mind and Familiars of the Flock (They’re really good! They’re really cheap! Buy and review or rate positively! And Hunters is also available on Audible!) Other stories, based on Jane Austen novels — such as The Meryton Murders — and others based on history and Greek mythology, such as Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus, can be found here. All titles are available through Kindle Unlimited, but I only get paid if you turn the pages.
