      Hell, I think my biggest problem is I can’t think of anything dumb enough before they’ve already got it

      I used to think I was a pessimist. But now after multiple “There’s no way people are that dumb” and being wrong I must be an absolute optimist.

      Right? I’d just sell them N-Word Passes and claim “Naw bro, Trump signed them and everything, these are real.”

    Now this is just comedy-level grifting. This can’t be real life, this has got to be a simulator to find the stupid ones

      After Trump’s NFT and silly sneakers, this just seems par for the course.

    So politics aside, would you really put any money into a financial system run by someone with a proven track record of driving businesses into bankruptcy?

    Up next, an innovative new sales technique. Get this, it is called Multi-level Marketing. Brand new, never been done before!

    I bet the same morons that got his NFTs fall for this…the SAME PEOPLE (the ones that still have money left).

    I can’t wait to see the level of grifts that will come when they really start to get desperate.

      Not sure it can be called grift if he’s literally saying they will be funding him.

      There’s no deceit involved in this case.

      I mean, there’s no deceit involved in modern UI\UX in social platforms either, but the paradigms are taken from gambling machines.

        With Trump the grift is usually that they people who buy in think they are funding his campagn whereas he uses much of the money is used for other stuff like his personal lawsuits for business fraud and the like.

    This feels like a scam just like those Elon Musk crypto scams you see everywhere.
