Motor City Sonics Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 A friend of mine, who is Republican and hates Trump said to me about 3 or 4 days before the 2008 election "If your guy wins, my side is gonna lose their fucking minds".

I won't link to it. When I. Heard this earlier, I honestly thought “that can’t be true.. that’s not actually the “announcement”, that’s someone making fun of him, right?”… Then I see that this WAS his announcement. I’m flabbergasted. (How often do you get a chance to use THAT word). Seriously? How was this received by his followers? They can’t be accepting/ making excuses for this, can they? It has to be embarrassing to at least some of them, no? How could it not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which... Why doesn't he just become a Preacher of the Prosperity Bible and straight up bilk people. With his "showmanship". He wouldn't have to pretend to be a businessman or a politician anymore. He could just straight up tell everyone "the Loooooord Loooooves me and he wants you to give me all of your money". He could make MAGA Millions into his pocket. And it's legal !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure in Trump's inflated self-image religious grifting is too far down the Grift Hierachy for someone who's had so much prior success with the more upscale political girft.

Quote The far-right internet personality known as "Baked Alaska" was less than pleased with former President Donald Trump's announcement Thursday that he's launching a series of digital trading card NFTs. "i can't believe i'm going to jail for an nft salesman," Baked Alaska, whose real name is Anthime Gionet, tweeted Thursday afternoon. Gionet participated in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and later pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. The charge carries a sentence of up to six months, and Gionet's sentencing hearing is scheduled for January 12. Buyer beware? There's been ample warning of FraudyFive. Maybe listen and think a little more next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRivdogs Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 The grift is even better than it appears... Quote Yes, they are NFTs, but unlike others of these digital art pieces, the people foolish enough to purchase a Trump Trading Card don’t actually own the things they paid for, at least not in the traditional sense. If any buyer decides to sell their Trump card in a secondary market, they don’t get all the proceeds. The fine print reveals that 10% of every secondary market sales goes right back to Trump and his fellow grifters. For more details, buyers are told to click the link to terms and conditions. Buyers have to confirm they read the terms and conditions but…the terms and conditions are nowhere to be found. https://threats.substack.com/p/trumps-trading-card-grift-is-worse 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are idiots who bought these cards and Trump has no issue taking their money, but I believe the whole thing is to launder money. Getting a few dumbasses to buy the cards helps give create a legitimate front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
