Trump swindles his followers — again
(wapo.st)
Must be a day ending in ‘Y’.
Yeah, after the 10 millionth time, I start to lose sympathy for them.
Like, if some grandma lost a bunch of money buying those fake gold Trump Bucks, I'd feel sorry for her. But if/when she turns around and gives money to the next scam, my sympathy is exhausted.
Early stages of dementia often manifest as falling for scams; a lot of them are designed to find people like that. So if your grandma is repeatedly being taken, you should be talking to her doctor and planning for care, not abandoning her.
That's absolutely true and also sad. Thankfully, it was just a hypothetical grandma used to make a point.
My complaint is against those who would knowingly exploit them (televangelists, telemarketers, Trump, et al).
Trump Media’s lawsuit accuses them of “mismanagement,” saying they “failed spectacularly at every turn” and “made a series of reckless and wasteful decisions.”
Yeah, that's how I would describe going into business with him, too.
You missed the best part of the quote.
Both people he's suing are ex-contestants on "The Apprentice".
They like it like that.
She working that back, I don't know how to act.
Duh.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!
