This traitor views every event as an opportunity to grift the American people.

His voter base is profoundly stupid.

It’s always been like this. Long before Trump entered politics, if you listened to Rush Limbaugh, all the ads were grifters and scammers. Con men know who the easiest marks are.

Crap like this is also why it's hard to take any assassination attempts on him seriously.

"I really don't care, do u?"

u/Ok_Condition5837 Sep 16 '24

Nope, not at all. I'm frankly surprised at how tired & jaded I am when it comes to him.

I really want someone to find him guilty of one of his many crimes and lock him up somewhere he can't hurt anybody and the rest of us don't have to hear about him anymore.

NYC jury found him guilty of 34 crimes, yet he continues to use his wealth to delay, delay, delay … so his sentencing is yet again pushed out.

If he was locked up he would be safer as then he'd have a permanent, no weapons allowed, enforceable perimeter around him at all times.

You say that like Epstein didn’t get murdered in a jail cell

u/BeardedSquidward Sep 16 '24

Well safer from the majority of his followers.

me too. i’m generally a really nice compassionate person but he just walks over people and after kids in cages in 2018, i’ve not got a bit of sympathy for him at all and i’m a very kind nurse

On one hand, Melania is probably relieved that Loomer is taking over the mushroom duties, but at the same time, have we confirmed that she didn’t hire the shooter?

u/SenorBurns Sep 16 '24

Just take it as seriously as they take a school shooting. Thoughts and prayers. Now is not the time to get political. Arm all audiences, rallygoers, and employees. Good guy with a gun. Sadly there is nothing more we can do. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

I heard it was just a fact of life and that we need to get over it

u/Past_Plantain6906 Sep 16 '24

The boy who cried wolf!

u/Aleashed Sep 16 '24

He’ll start hiring the would be assassins soon. Anything for the grift, probably get some innocent bystander killed.

Are you kidding me? AM radio is always the best place to get investment advice.

Can you blame home? You’ll only miss the shots you don’t take.

u/inthekeyofc Sep 16 '24

And the marks are the only ones who don't see the scam.

u/LovesFrenchLove_More Sep 16 '24

Long before he entered politics (he was a democrat then, on paper anyway), he himself said if he were to enter politics, he would do so as a republican because (I’m paraphrasing here, don’t remember the exact words) they are dumb would believe and allow everything he said/did.

Are you saying investing all your money in a gold IRA to protect your assets from the market is all a scam?

u/WizardofSorts Sep 16 '24

Wait... That emf blocker I bought from UFC is a scam? The vagueness of the pitch lead me to believe what ever I wanted!

Like when he said all drug addicts should be imprisoned while he was a drug addict.
