"SNIP.......

“Former president Donald Trump’s political group sent at least 15 emails in recent weeks offering small-dollar donors the chance to win a coveted prize if they gave money: dinner with Trump in New Orleans last Saturday,” the Washington Post reports.

“But no such winner was flown to New Orleans last weekend, according to four people familiar with the matter. No flight or ‘very nice’ hotel was booked. Trump had no individual meeting with a small-dollar donor, instead only privately greeting a handful of Republican Party donors who gave large checks, taking pictures with some of the party’s most well-heeled members and speaking to a larger group of donors who each gave tens of thousands of dollars.”

with any of his base. He despises them, but loves their money and votes.

I would be tempted to kick him a few bucks just to establish standing. Maybe some Democratic lawyer should do that who has some time. Obviously the criminal system isn't going to do anything.

It was after this weekend gathering in New Orleans that the plane chump was borrowing had engine failure. Maybe he needed to stay longer to insure the plane was fit. Shoulda' shelled out for the Mickey D's, donnie boy.

so of course TFG doesn't want to take the chance of being photographed anywhere near one.

Besides, he's a massive germaphobe and the rest of us are all crawling with loathsome diseases.

the same table and eat with him? The diaper smell and layers of makeup would be enough to lose your appetite or barf up anything you did manage to eat.

And people actually thought the former "Grifter-in-Chief" was true to his word?

He's a grifter, people. He lies professionally to steal your money! You'd think republicans had never been victims of a grifter before. Every one of them lies through their teeth to separate their marks from their money.

Unbelievable! Next they'll be telling us Malaria got married for love.
