    GoFundMe’s Terms of Service specifically forbid fundraising for “the legal defense of alleged financial and violent crimes,” so this fundraiser should be taken down. The next step would be for Trump to set up the equivalent sort of thing in-house, the way he made his own Twitter, then I really don’t know how this gets regulated.

      It’s been up for about two weeks. TOS doesn’t matter if you’re Trump - remember r/thedonald, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube…

      To be fair, this isn’t for defense, it’s to pay the fine, or post the bond at least.

      Plus, it’s their site, they can ignore their own terms of service.
