Trump Scammed Supporters Out of $250 Million for Nonexistent Fraud Fund

If the yokels want to send Trump money for some non expectant court fight, go right ahead.
 
Did he believe he was creating real estate millionaires at Trump University?
Yes Trump U, his foundation and even his steaks show he was a film-flam artist. But presumably he knew those things were fraudulent. But here one suspects there is some form of self-delusion at work.
 
Trump Scammed Supporters Out of $250 Million for Nonexistent Fraud Fund

$250 million that Donald Trump can spend on virtually anything. A slush fund.

It was also set up so that additional donations would automatically be taken from donor bank accounts until the donor physically opted out by reading the small print and ticking a small box.

You know how to spell Trump supporter, SUCKER
 
No less so than Sanders.
Aww... Do you ever get exhausted from being incorrect


Stein a Dem, that's a new one, kinda desperate to divert?

Well he exceeded all of my expectations. I knew we were in for some shit when he came down that golden escalator. But I never thought he would take the country down that much, literally to the brink over one old fat carnival barker
 
The President is above criminal law according to the DOJ since the early 70s. Only thing to be done about it is for Congress to kick him out of office. And since that time has passed so too has any hope of holding Trump criminally accountable for anything he did while President.

Should be able to find anything remotely as Donny. Dude is a grifter who can’t stop

Exactly. If after decades of being a scam artist you still give him money, then you deserve to be ripped off.

LBJ tried to awaken these types of right wing people who are obsessed bigots, race bias and gender bias, and they ignored it.

quote
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said,

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

end quote

Some of these right winger cultist are likely still sending money to Trump...
 
On that topic, it's helpful to look at other authoritarian takeovers of democracies to see what has happened and what they haven't been able to do. They have a very powerful propaganda machine that has taken over a third of Americans and they were nearly able to have a coup, after stealing the presidency in 2000.

But there are many things they haven't been able to do - such as a lot of physical intimidation, imagine if you speak out having the police arrest you; eliminating rivals, critics, and truthtellers. Imagine if people like Nancy Pelosi and Rachel Maddow were imprisoned, not only the direct effect but the chilling effect. And censorship - look what Putin just did in Russia ending all independent media. trump belongs in jail.
I'm actually surprised that Trump didn't try to invoke some provisions of the Patriot Act or related laws. His followers are so gullible that if he had claimed that Biden and a handful of key senators were involved in a terrorist plot and locked them up in GTMO, they would have cheered him on without a moment's hesitation. When that SOB in Ukraine refused to play ball with Trump and announce an "investigation" of Biden, I thought for sure that was where Trump would go next.
 
Jill Stein raised millions from besotted progressive donors on the promise of using it to challenge the 2016 election and pay for recounts to overturn Trump’s election. I don’t think anyone other than Jill and her campaign staff knows where that money really went to this day.

Another incredibly stupid post. Jill Stein wasn't a democrat. Do yourself a favor and post less lies.

Wasn't she the one seated with Putin and Flynn in some luncheon over in Russia? All I need to know.
 
She parted progressive and liberal fools from $7 million of their money. If she’s not in prison for that then don’t bank on Trump going to jail.

I wonder if progressives "whatabouted" it at that time.
 
How much money has the committee asked individual voters for?

Specifically, what has been presented by the committee that is a scam?
Knock yourself out.

Fundraising based on evidence given by DT's own AG and lawyer is quite different from fundraising based on a fabrication.

BTW, that lineup of sources is amazing. Clearly you strive for unbiased, balanced sources.
You seem surprised that that the NYTimes or WaPo don't report on the Dem fundraising scams.

Hell, the NYTimes reported the attempted assassination of a SC Justice on page A20.

Ya, it's an interesting issue. I have little doubt he'd want to and think it was probably more what he could 'get away with'. Remember the report of him telling Milly he wanted him to have soldiers shoot protesters, and when Milly said no he asked if they can't at least shoot them in the leg. That's a reason a second term was very dangerous as he installed more and more totally loyal people in powerful positions who WOULD do more.

It takes time, to get around our culture against those things and build up staff who will do it.

Like, remember how he wanted to put Eastman in as Attorney General for one thing, to have him send letters to states about the election to get them to change the electors, and was only blocked by all the White House lawyers threatening to resign.

He had some young guy whose job it was to look for government employees who weren't totally loyal to trump for them to be fired. It takes time and a second term seems likely to have been a lot worse.

Yeah, shooting peaceful protesters on Trump's order the minions would have loved that and cheered him on.

The hearing yesterday was scary in its implications. It seems that Trump either was so disconnected from reality that he couldn’t believe loyal advisors, or that he couldn’t stop himself from continuing the lie, hoping that something new would turn up. That he raised millions and didn’t spend it on challenging the results says something about him, and sadly, about some of his supporters.
 
Trump supporters deserved it.

"You fooled me 50 times so do it again."

Stupid should be proud!
 
Joe Biden scammed the American People out of $3 trillion for the Democrat Grift Bill.
Did you reject and return the COVID check from President Trump ?
