He has two tricks that work for him. One is the “borrow, steal and go bankrupt” trick. The other is mulcting his base via this kind of excitement. He’s been running the biggest con EVER and it’s been working (just not quite well enough, from his perspective).
Wuerker thinks this is one last fleecing. I don’t. It will continue as long until the Disciples stop giving money to him, which is never. Even if and when he goes to prison, they will give him their money.
Trump considers them to be the “disgusting people I no longer have to shake hands with”. They will never figure that out.

If they’ll give money to a preacher to pay off a pool boy, why wouldn’t they give to Trump?
“Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur.” (The world wants to be deceived, so let it be deceived.) Attributed to Gaius Petronius, 1st century Roman writer during the reign of Nero. Considered to be author of THE SATRYICON.
“I seen my opportunities and I took ‘em.” Quote from George Washington Plunkitt (1842 – 1924). He was a leader of the Tammany Hall political organization. He became wealthy by practice of “honest graft.”
“There’s a sucker born every minute.” A quote usually ascribed to P.T. Barnum, but recorded in earlier versions by various others.
So, you see — Trump and Company are just following Tradition.
ABSOLUTELY 100% ACCURATE!!!! If any of those GULLIBLE MORONS took the time to read the ENTIRE tweet, they would SEE that up to 75% of their “donations” were going DIRECTLY into his pockets!
What a slick snake oil salesman. His “flock of sheep” are so stupid….and fall for everything he says…..pitiful they don’t use the brain GOD gave them….some can’t even afford their house payments and they still fork over to support his slimy ass! Evil
I’m all in favor of them giving all their money to Trump. Then they can’t give it to someone else. You can count on Trump to do something stupid with it, and not help anyone else… like say Republican candidates whose last name is not Trump. Keep wasting the money, please!
One tragic part of this situation is that probably many Trump supporters who have trouble buying groceries at the end of the month are sending money to the person who made their situation worse. And yet they worship him. Go figure…
Let’s hope all the places that hosted his rallies and weren’t smart enough to get the money up front follow El Paso’s lead and sue him for the costs to their city or town! That’s one way to put a dent in his grifting!

All that money will go to his inept lawyers after he’s out of office. He might save a few bucks to buy contraband while in jail.

They will find ways to keep it up because you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can fool the Magas all of the time,

Good political comic but it assumes that the MAGAts can read and spend time making diligent decisions.
