Mary Trump - Donald's Rubes

It costs a lot of money to be one of Donald Trump’s supporters. When they’re not paying his legal bills, they’re being scammed into buying gold sneakers and NFT trading cards. And then there are the silver coins he’s selling. [Act now while supplies last.]

During the 2016 campaign it was still newsworthy (although obviously not disqualifying) that my uncle was forced to pay $25 million for defrauding students at Trump University or bankrupting casinos and airlines, or failing to sell Trump-branded steaks, vodka, and bottled water.

Now it’s simply taken for granted that Donald is a grifter who used (and plans to use) the presidency for his own personal enrichment. The normal reaction to this auctioning off of our national dignity should be to condemn Donald.

It’s easy to mock these easily-deluded marks, especially since so many of them espouse the same kinds of bigotry Donald traffics in—or have shown themselves willing to overlook it. I can understand why so many people engage in the schadenfreude of watching Donald’s social media stock tank—taking considerable amounts of his supporters’ money with it.
