“One long grift.” Not just his campaigns, but really, his entire life. So why do the sheep keep handing it over? #itsacult

Yes, Trump is an abject fraudster. And our woefully inadequate campaign finance laws facilitate his schemes. Consider how crazy it is that he can legally use funds raised for the campaign to pay legal bills unrelated to campaign activities. Citizen's United needs to be reversed and campaign finance laws need to be enhanced as important steps toward getting democracy back on track.

I’m so tired of this fraudster. I read everything I subscribe to, and Chris is one of five Substackers for me. But, I can’t take reading his Truths or the rehashing of these criminal exploits much more. I’ll maybe start reading more books, just like Chris has.

Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football is the perfect analogy for this grift.

I thought with this headline it would be about his latest golf club championship.

As soon as I left here, I came across this Ponzi scheme in my email. I hadn’t read much about it. The great bit in it is that Trump can’t cash in for 6 months. Hopefully it’ll be valued at the plugged nickel it’s worth then.

I’d love an explanation as to why/how his supporters keep believing the BS trump spews. It’s laughable but also depressing to think there are voters who believe his lies.

Is there anyone not in the cult that could read that raving lunacy and not conclude he's in severe cognitive decline? It's Communism?

Bloodbath if he loses and retribution if he wins. Trump=violence

I’m astonished that he used the word luck in his bleat. Is he admitting to his good fortune in the sperm/egg lottery.

You always tell it like it is, Chris! The good, the bad, the ugly. This is the ugly!

No kidding. It's the money! Always. It's about the money.

And of course…he doesn’t have to pay it. Oh, to be a flabby septuagenarian criminal, able to flout the law at will for personal gain! Would that we all has such privilege!

His supporters will believe every single word he says/writes.

The sheer enormity and complexity of Trump's corruption boggles the mind. And now people have a chance to buy a piece of him with stocks from Truth Social? Truth Social is the sinkhole of social media sites, owned by a pathological criminal who's gone bankrupt many times...is it 6 times? I've lost count. Who wants to buy into THAT??? Everything he touches fails miserably. Common sense should tell anyone interested in investing: "NOOOOOOOOO!"
