In a flurry of support on Thursday, mega donors including casino billionaire Miriam Adelson and hotelier Robert Bigelow lined up behind Trump, with their donations set to bolster a wave of pro-Trump ads, door-knocking and phone banking in battleground states.
The verdict has also spurred some longtime Trump donors to boost their financial support for him and, in at least one case, make a big donation to him for the first time.
Robert Bigelow, who is one of Trump's top supporters having already given over US$9 million to an outside group supporting him, said criminal proceedings against Trump were a "disgrace".
"I'm sending President Trump another US$5 million as I promised him," Bigelow told Reuters.
Don Tapia, a former Trump ambassador to Jamaica, said he and a small network of family and friends with whom he donates had planned to give around US$250,000 this election to support Trump.
After Thursday's conviction, Tapia told Reuters the group would aim to give over US$1 million to the pro-Trump spending group MAGA Inc in coming weeks.
"We're going to go all-in for him," said Tapia. He sent Reuters a photo of an American flag flying upside down outside his home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, in protest of the verdict.
