    Look at the bright side: only a die-hard magard would fall for this grift. So when Trump pulls the rug, the magards will finally realize they’ve been took.

    In other words, Trump is innoculating his own followers with the cure for Trumpism.

      Bless your heart.

      No, no it will be the democrats’ fault somehow. Or brown people. Or both. Probably both.

      No they won’t. They will line up for the next one. The only reason they will ever stop is because they have nothing left. And then when they have nothing they will blame immigrants, woke, Soros, or whoever for their lot in life.

      There are people who exist in this world who can not comprehend that the actions they take lead in part to the consequences that follow. The only thing that can be done is to watch from the side them losing everything and then getting out of the way as best one can in their fit of rage.

      Sort of like a person with a gambling addiction putting the last $10k of their life savings into a slot machine. We know what’s going to happen, there is nothing that can stop it from happening.

      Trump has been running the same scams for decades. There’s probably tons of bag holders for his NFT scam that are loading up on TRUMP and MELANIA. He’s got a whole mailing list of gullible marks and he keeps butchering that pig until there’s nothing left.

      This was a money laundering scheme. Foreign governments and companies (foreign and domestic) who want favor with trump are the ones who bought in.

      He’ll just gish gallop his way out of it. Whatever smoke screen he comes up with will make his followers lose focus on all the money they have lost. Example:

      Oh wow, look at this immigrant caravan from Panama. Let’s invade and stop them.

        Or he’ll just claim he wasn’t a part of it and “some very bad people” are the ones responsible for their losses.
