His key fund has spent nearly all of the more than $150 million it raised, and is sitting on less than $4 million, according to the latest numbers available. He’s already dug into his fund for 2024 ads, and borrowed money to post bail in Georgia. And some of his allies are begging for donations, saying he won’t pony up.
The astonishing thing here is that this would probably work. I have no idea how he continues to convince people that 1) he’s rich, and 2) he’ll bother paying them if he’s not forced to, but somehow there keeps being people willing to throw their lives away for him.
I still have trouble with that. People willing to throw their lives away for Donald fucking Trump, the failed real-estate tycoon and D-list celebrity weirdo with the underage “beauty” pageant. That guy? That guy commands an army of people desperate to do his (unpaid) bidding?
What the actual fuck?
Donald Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.
Con man is short for confidence man…
There’s always been a lot of people who will fall for obvious scams because they assume anyone that’s confident is capable.
They aren’t the best with higher logic, so they tend to take everything at face value. And that’s been exploited for probably longer than humans have had language
