you might say "wow, that's a super PAC donation, they're not allowed to coordinate with the campaign, why would the campaign claim that money in its total"

$3.5m small dollar one-day to the actual campaign would be totally plausible and not even all that remarkable. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders both did double that in single-day drives.
They claimed they got ~$35 million in small-dollar hard-money donations the same day he was convicted, in a few hours.
I think that's profoundly unlikely, but it's what they claim.
A 'neighbor' on my local NextDoor app who had already demonstrated not being very bright bragged about sending him $34. Sending a billionaire $34 to pay legal fees for dealing with his crimes. They're dumb enough to vote for him, but send him $$? Even dumber.
If you’re a fascist billionaire, there’s probably no better return on your investment than getting owed big favors by the new autocrat running the world’s largest economy.
