Meanwhile, one user pointed out that, “Organically, Biden’s donation site search results go directly to page 1, to the top” of Google’s search results.
“Trump’s query yields all far-left media with no link to donate on page 1.”
Holy shit. Google “Donate to Joe Biden” vs “Donate to Donald Trump”
Do you notice the difference? Organically, Biden’s donation site search results go directly to page 1, to the top. Trump’s query yields all far-left media with no link to donate on page 1. cc: @EndWokeness… pic.twitter.com/lR1nRGayA8

The Biden campaign also fundraised off of Trump’s conviction — but hasn’t disclosed how much it raised.
The Biden campaign was already primed to use Trump’s conviction to raise more money.
The donor battles have just jumped up a notch.
