When It Comes to a Scam, Trump’s Got Everyone Beat.

I must give Trump (or ‘Orange Shithead’ as the kid in the convenience store called him) credit. Here’s a guy who no matter what is going on around him, knows how to pull off a good scam every chance he gets.

Think about it for a minute. The whole vote ‘fraud’ thing was just another scam. It didn’t happen but Orange Shithead (OS) had a lot of people believing it and putting money into it. And he’s still got people believing it even though it’s becoming old news.

So, you come up with some new news and you start up a new scam. In this case, it’s a scam called the ‘American Freedom Tour,’ where Trump shows up and gives a speech about American ‘values,’ and the audience pays between $55 and — ready? — $3,995, who then get a personal photo op with OS after the speeches and also get an opportunity to buy (as in to purchase) a series of lessons which give you the real deal on how to invest your money and really cash in.

Remember Trump University? That scam ran from 2005 to 2010 where people paid serious money to attend closed-door meetings where they allegedly learned the secrets of real-estate investments from Trump and other so-called ‘faculty members.’ Except all that happened is that the student body lost a lot of money and OS eventually had to shut the whole thing down.
