How The Trump Campaign Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations: NYT | Morning Joe | MSNBC
This is what Trump have done his entire life, among scores of other crimes !
@UCzLhJeYNoxuBIeorhCPx7MA You need to back up your accusations with some solid proof. So far all we have is an investigation into Hunter Biden that Trump insisted take place before he left office. Just like the Durham investigation into the “Origins” of the 2016 Russia investigation. It’s been nearly 3 years now and nobody even knows what or who Durham is even investigating nor how much tax money he’s spent so far. All I know is Trump Supporters are real quick to make accusations and NEVER supply any evidence. In a Trump supporters eyes we have to prove that their lies are actually lies.
@Anita Bruton Unfortunately Dump cult clansmen will never believe that Dump is a proven liar, over 30,000 lies and still counting. They refuse to believe because they bought into these stupid lies and now do not wish to look like the idiots they are. It takes moral honesty to admit that you are wrong.
As well as Grifting!!!!!
I’m giving 5000 to 1 odds that not a single penny will be returned to even one person who wants their money back.
@Mimzy Jinx Except the fact that he isn’t rich and his net worth is only by the properties him and his wife owns but still has pending mortgages for. So, your comment is moot. Biden has the least net worth of any president.
When you support a grifter, you get grifted!
Yep, as the saying goes “a leopard never changes its spots”.
I wouldn’t go that far, but he WAS a saint compared to the self-proclaimed ruler of America.
@Aggressive Attitude Era somehow I doubt a saint would have needlessly let 400k people die on his watch. How do you explain that? Not to mention all the other corruption he caused. He is the devil in disguise.
@JD Russell That was then – This is now.
@Bootie Shaker I think “Aggressive Attitude Era” was referring to a previous comment about McCain by JD Russel.
The irony of Donald Trump supporters saying “stop the Steal”…. When Donald Trump was literally stealing their money! hilarious
@N 827 Oh and I guess that’s why Trump was sued for defrauding students, why he’s under multiple investigations, why he hid his taxes. Because Trump’s a CRIMINAL!!! Oh and you want to talk about racism, corruption and cheating? That’s Trump, PERIOD!!! And I can prove it. Where’s your proof?
And called Georgia literally trying to commit election fraud.
@N 827 Oh and I have compiled a list of 37 reasons why Trump didn’t deserve a second term. All VERIFIABLE facts.
Why Trump doesn’t deserve a second term
1. Committed human rights violations, (taking babies and toddlers away from their parents)
2. Told Bob Woodward how dangerous the virus was, that it was 5 times deadlier than the flu and was easily passed thru the air.
3. Lied to the country for almost a year about the dangers of the virus, resulting in the deaths of over 400,000 Americans
4. When asked by a journalist to address the country to offer words of encouragement, Trump attacked the journalist who asked the question
5. Took Putins side against his own intelligence agencies in Helsinki, thereby making him a traitor
6. Called veterans “losers and suckers”
7. Refused to investigate allegations of bounties put on our troops
8. Has attacked the leaders of every one of our allies, but never once said anything negative about Putin.
9. Defended the Saudi crown prince after it was proven he had a Washington Post journalist murdered
10. Called white supremacists and Neo Nazis “fine people”, even after one of them murdered a protester
11. Applauded a politician who assaulted a journalist
12. Was the inspiration behind the El Paso shotting, the mail bomber and the Tree Of Life shootings
13. Had private meetings with Putin where no one in his cabinet was allowed to know what was said.
14. Told 4 congresswomen to “go back to the countries they came from and fix things there” before criticizing him. Of those 4 women, 3 are American born citizens and one is naturlized, two are black, one is Latino and the 4th, a Muslim
15. Turned the DOJ into his personal law firm to prosecute his political enemies and protect his political allies.
16. Hired Bill Barr as his Attorney General to be his Roy Cohn, to do his political dirty work
17. When asked to condemn terrorist groups, Trump refused, telling the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”
18. Told people in his administration to break the law and he’d pardon them.
19. Said he was the “chosen one”
20. Pressured the CDC to change it’s guidelines to suit HIS agenda, at the risk of harm to the American pubic
21. Recommended using disinfectant and UV light internally to fight covid
22. Took Covid advice from game show hosts
23. Hired a radiologist, who takes pictures of peoples bodies, to lead the Covid team
24. Was fine with mass casualties to achieve “herd immunity”
25. Had his DOJ cover up crimes committed by members of his administration.
26. Used the DOJ to free his criminal allies and prosecute his political rivals
27. Demanded the arrest of Biden, Obama and Clinton
28. Lied for months about the election being stolen, leading to the storming and attack on the Capitol Building
29. Incited an attack on his own country
30. Praised his people for attacking the Capitol building on his behalf
31. When Trump went on overseas visit to England, he was greeted by protests from the citizens of England
32. When Trump appeared at a baseball game, he was greeted by chants of “Lock Him Up”
33. The Mueller report documented 10 instances of Obstruction of Justice.
34. Refused to get the Federal Government involved in the fight against Covid, instead, let the states fight over ventilators and PPE.
35. When Trump spoke in front of the UN general assembly, he was laughed at. Trump has made the USA the laughing stock of the world.
36. Altered an outdated Hurricane map with a sharpie, trying to prove that he was right about where it was supposed to go.
37. Remarked about the continental Army in the Revolutionary War captured the airports.
@N 827 Oh, and I forgot this.
38. Had Louis DeJoy, who NEVER worked in or for the post office, installed as Postmaster General to sabotage the post office so that it couldn’t handle the expected volume of mail in ballots.
@N 827 Yeah, Trump is such a great president he got impeached twice and oversaw the deaths of over 400,000 Americans on his watch and couldn’t care less and said and DID so. The mass rallies in the middle of a pandemic when he KNEW how dangerous it was. Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. Trump’s a TRAITOR, PERIOD!!!
They have since found out and still support him. “We are all born ignorant. But we must work hard to remain stupid.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
@Pamela “Wasn’t he convicted of a felony?” – Rush Limbaugh on Martin Luther King Jr
@Pamela poor Pam 😂😂
Amazing quote and unfortunately true.
@Pamela You must be one of the morons who got scammed by trump.
@dynamite4kids Especially if you’re a RePUGliKLAN. Low IQs required at that party.
He got a no interest loan from his donors without their permission. We used to call this stealing. Always read the fine print! He was crying about voter fraud as he was perpetuating wire fraud. Fraud guarantee!😂🤣😂
Right, Morgan! And communism/socialism. The sob hasn’t lifted a finger his entire life
No interest donations
every thing Orange butt says go exact opposite
Is that a call back to Lev & Igor’s Fraud Guarantee? Nice.
Trump, – “I love the uneducated.” 🙄
You voted for men in the girls room !! You voted to ruin woman’s sports by letting men play ,you voted for higher taxes ,higher gas prices ,more than 2 sexes, you voted for the commies and your talking crap about uneducated !!! LOL,LOL,LOL,!!!!!!!!
The quote is actually “I love the poorly educated”
“I am sick and tired of smart people” Biden
You have to remember Trump was a D sudent and his dad payed his way into school and trump payed people to do his work ..
@Patrick Swezey Trump was an A student from 1-10th grade then became a B student.
“There’s a sucker born every minute,” early examples of its use are found among gamblers and confidence tricksters, Certainly fits.
PT Barnum is looking down, or up, and saying, “Man, this Trump fella is a no-good dirty crook!”.
I guess “Owning The Libs” got a little too expensive for some of those people.
ROTFLMAO yep
They donated to personally get owned on a weekly basis.
😂
Anyone know one persons name this actually happened to that has been proven? Why do you people listen to this non sense. They’ll say whatever they want you to hear and none of you look it up.
@al fresco Haha! Good one!
That’s the business man they voted for.
@Hey Guys, This Is My New Name yup
They just didn’t realize that ripping people off is what his “business” has always been.
(And he did promise to run the country like he ran his businesses – the one promise he kept.)
Yeah and they got what they asked for
He’s outdone PT Barnum…
And Google gave us BOTS
ROFL my last YouTube account got banned for laughing and making fun of those idiots who donated 😭🤣🤣😂. Genius’s!
They really can’t take what they dish out. Mine was banned for comments I made to the Trump cult members is what I call them as well.
@Valicity Hudson YouTube cancelled my account too because they didn’t like my trump sarcasm to his supporters lmaoooo
Me too!!!! Hence my clever new name. I just wish they had given enough to financially bankrupt them as badly as they’ve all been morally bankrupted
😂😂😂😂😂I’m running out of popcorn 🍿 this is so much fun to watch
Jose Hernandez: 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Bruno the popcorn to his hanging party
You can eat all the popcorn the Q people had left over from the “storm” that never happened
I find their plight highly amusing. Paid a conman and didn’t expect to get conned. Delicious.
“I feel sorry for this Billionaire who had the election stolen from him so I’m going to send him some money” LOL
@Harley Rider 07 Certainly what he believes – and from the evidence, he’s not wrong.
They are all so beyond dumb ! 🙄
Those “unstable idiots” already had a mind set, anyone evil enough could just tap into that rich resource and grabbed it‼️
Fake billionaire
And republiklan voter base still believe it was not T-Rump who took their money … if not T-Rump , then who was it , Ivanka , Jared or Eric ?
Known as “Don the Con” for decades in NYC !
Yes! And the new teflon Don seemingly. And that’s the worst!
Yup
the Don 😳
I’ve always known him as Don the con in Ohio….. seems most of my neighbors were oblivious.
It’s sad to see this happening, but I’m not sorry for those people.
@Sue Zbell PREACH.
@Tivi Meke same. Even checked my spare sympathy wallet. Nothing.
Fool and his money get the picture
AGREE
THEY MADE THEIR BED NOW HAPPY SLEEPING WITH THE FILTHY THIEVES
THEY CHOSE TO FOLLOW
Anyone know one persons name this actually happened to that has been proven? Why do you people listen to this non sense. They’ll say whatever they want you to hear and none of you look it up.
trump’s favorite saying is “There’s one born every minute, and I love them, because I’m gonna take all their money!”.
There is a vinartist born every minute. Oh my. God not more trumos in our world !!!!
“Whomp whomp”, “Stop the steal ” and “I don’t care Do U ” 🤣
Hmmm…that could be lyrics to a top hit song! 😊👍
These people are getting exactly what they deserve. Donating once showed who you are
True
It’s becoming an never ending criminal story. Even today new crimes still to be discovered.
Yup. Trump’s presidency was a crime spree
And this is what’s becoming public knowledge. Anyone naive enough to think the biggest still hasn’t been discovered yet? 10 minutes with a Google search about Drumph and his family’s legal history shouldn’t make this latest story surprising at all.
@biz man i sincerely believe it was a Putin attack… a very successful one thanks to his puppet
The irony of this; you can’t even trust the “stop the steal”-guy 😄🤣😜😆👍
