on privacy and content concerns, as well as the company s connection to the chinese government. we ll have the highlights for you just ahead. plus, what we re learning about a drone strike overnight in syria that killed at least one american and injured a handful of u.s. service members. a lot going on. good morning. welcome to morning joe. can you believe it s friday? it s friday, march 24th. you know, it is friday. you know, willie, it is interesting. you have trump raising $1.5 million off of this. puck noted last night that people around donald trump see this as a bad sign. his fundraising prowess is dried up. he s worn out all of these lists. he sent spam out for six years, seven years. the small money donations just aren t coming in. you know, right after access hollywood, he raised $11.5 million off of small donors. after the fbi raid last summer at mar-a-lago, as he called it, he raised $2 million in two days. he s raised $1.5 million over the week. what we
thought he d get indicted this week. he s not getting indicted this week. his messaging yesterday about how the d.a. s office is in disarray, i don t know if he believes that or not. but the antics he pulled off this week, support he got from republicans, and the turn jot we re likely to see tomorrow in waco, texas, which you talk about that later, the ugliness of that scene, but i think donald trump feels he s in a better place today than he was last saturday. well, it may feel that way inside his bubble, but it s not much outside of that, rev. you look at what he was posting yesterday, calling alvin bragg a soros-backed animal, going on and on. if someone in your life, someone you loved and cared about was behaving the way donald trump behaved yesterday, writing the things he wrote yesterday, you call an emergency family meeting to talk about it and figure out what to do with him. it was ugly to say the least. the comments were anti-semitic. they were racist. but donald trump does
anti-semitic racist. to call a man an animal, a learned man an animal, and to connect him to a man whose only position in this is he happens to be a jewish man who helps causes he likes, shows a man that has lost control. he is hearing footsteps, and they re getting closer. and as offensive as trump s rhetoric was yesterday in his post, it got more dangerous overnight. joe and mika, in the last couple hours, a post on truth social, well after midnight, trump says this, as usual routine about how he is innocent. then he says this about d.a. bragg. about the consequences of a potential charge. he says, does he know, quote, potential death and destruction for such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country? okay. that is donald trump, the former president of the united states, who we knew incited violence once on january 6th, suggesting that there could be death and destruction, in his words, if he were to be charged
go to this old anti-semitic trope. let s go after the international jewish banker, even if this is a guy who survived the holocaust. let s take a listen real quick. some type of manufactured circus by some soro d.a. soros prosecutor. prosecutor alvin bragg is from george soros. master george soros. mr. soros. alvin bragg, in particular, is the most radical d.a. you can ultimately get to. george soros funded him over $1 million. his i just can t even believe people will say this publicly. another brick in the wall. with the camera going master. a black man s master. ewish international banker, seriously? i m telling you, if who is
trump and porn star stormy daniels. it is not unusual for a new york grand jury to hear multiple cases at the same time. the group is unlikely to meet again until monday at the earliest. we will keep you posted. meanwhile, the manhattan district attorney s office is slamming top house republicans for launching an investigation into the d.a. s investigation of trump. in a letter obtained by nbc news yesterday, a general counsel for the d.a. s office responded to a gop request from earlier in the week, which called on district attorney alvin bragg to testify before congress about his ongoing probe. that request was made by judiciary committee chair jim jordan. oversight committee chair james comer. administration committee chairman brian steil. in their letter, they claim the d.a. s office was, quote, about to engage in an unprecedented abuse of prosecutorial authority
