dumb-ass Trumpers are getting scammed by grifters selling obviously fake money

and Donny Demento short-circuited again last night

if some skeevy dude sidled up to you on the street, offered to sell you Biden Bucks and told you they’d make you rich, you’d roll your eyes.

“no, seriously,” you’re told. “Joe Biden’s going to change the banking system, and these Biden Bucks are going to be worth millions.”

at that point, you’d tell them to fuck straight off.

all of which makes you smarter than a Trump cultist.

it’s a wise old saying: a Trump supporter and his money are soon parted.

Donny’s been hip to this for years. there’s no end to the cheesy grifts he uses to separate the rubes from their social security checks.

remember those idiotic NFT trading cards, the childish JPEGs depicting Trump as Superman, a cowboy, and Elvis? Trump harvested millions in cash from selling them to credulous dopes. you’ll be shocked to learn they’re now worthless.

First released in December last year, the value of the cards nearly halved this week before recovering slightly, according to NFT marketplace OpenSea.

and of course there were those unspeakably hideous spray-painted-gold sneakers.

four hundred bucks a pair, and they quickly sold out. two weeks later, they’re worth barely a quarter of that.

“I wonder how many gullible idiots bought a pair of Trump’s ‘Never Surrender’ sneakers at the original $400 price,” asked a Democratic campaign finance executive Jon Cooper. “You can now find them online for under $100, lol. Anyway, whatever price they pay, these MAGA morons will likely never get delivery. It’s just another con, folks.”

it turns out that Little Donny Fuckface isn’t the only gonif fleecing his supporters. snake oil salesmen everywhere took one look at how ridiculously fucking easy it is to snooker the Trump crowd, and decided to get in on the action.

which brings us to Trump Bucks. nitwits have been shelling out thousands of dollars for these worthless items, because they’ve been sold a fantasy.

Supporters are told Trump Bucks will propel Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid and make the “real patriots” who support him rich when he wins and they can cash in.

How would it work? According to NBC News, those who got duped believe Trump, when he is re-elected, will institute a new monetary system that will make Trump Bucks valuable.

oh, for fuck’s sake.

seriously, “a new monetary sytem”? nobody’s falling for this obvious bullshit, are they? please tell me that nobody is falling for—

Turns out, Trump Bucks aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Just ask John Amann of Houston who said he bought $2,200 worth of the phony currency and other Trump monetary items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.

the marks are being hoodwinked by computer-generated bullshittery.

In AI-generated videos on social media and in chat groups, celebrities and politicians, including Trump, appear to endorse the scam. In one, Trump appears to announce the launch of the Trump Rebate Banking system on Fox News.

“Let’s make America wealthy again,” the artificially generated voice of Trump says.

the upside is that Donny is getting blamed for this scamfuckery.

They wonder if Trump was part of the scam.

“Now I’m questioning whether he is aware of this,” Amann, 77, told NBC News.

but some Trumpers are just flat-out refusing to accept reality.

To prove to her mother-in-law that she had been swindled, a Florida woman said she drove her to a nearby bank and urged her to try to redeem the Trump Bucks in her possession.

“We thought she got it, she even admitted she got scammed,” the woman said. “But then giant boxes arrived at the house full of Trump checks and other stuff that she bought for $500 and that would supposedly be worth $6 million one day. We tell her she’s getting scammed and she says, ‘Just wait, Trump will make all the patriots rich.’”

“It’s like she’s in a cult,” the Florida woman said.

no, it’s not like she’s in a cult. she is in a cult.

we’re been telling you this for years.

meanwhile, the press continues to refuse to report on the diaper-wearing elephant in the room.

this came up in the comments a couple of days ago, but I want to highlight it here for those of you who didn’t read down that far.

here’s Jennifer Rubin, in her March 1 column in the Washington Post:

Salon interviewed John Gartner, a psychologist and former professor at Johns Hopkins University Medical School. Gartner was analytic, specific and frank. He pointed to “‘phonemic paraphasias’ — the substitution of non-words for words that sound similar.” He spelled out his observations:

Some examples of Trump’s non-words: Beneficiaries becomes “benefishes.” Renovations become “renoversh.” Pivotal became “pivobal.” Obama became “obamna.” Missiles became “mishiz.” Christmas became “Crissus.” Bipartisan became “bipars.” …

Trump also engages in what we call “tangential speech.” He just becomes incomprehensible when he engages in free association word salad speech that is all over the place. Again, that’s a sign of real brain damage, not being old, not being slow, not losing a step ... but of severe cognitive deterioration.

What I don’t understand is why those clips aren’t replayed over and over in the mainstream media. Isn’t Trump babbling incoherently the most newsworthy part of his rally? You can be sure it would be if it were Biden.

Gartner is right. these clips should be the lead story of every newscast. it’s maddening that they’re not.

during a speech last night, Trump totally fucking short-circuited.

“Saudia Arabia and Russia will rebetu ahhhhhhhhh.”

check out the bug-eyed, bewildered panic on Donny’s face as his sentence devolves into to gibberish.

holy shit — day by day, Trump is getting worse.

come on, media — do your job. stop obsessing over Joe Biden’s age. there’s a bigger story going on, right in front of your faces.
