He cheated them out of their money by personally enriching himself through their taxpayer dollars, and soliciting their financial donations through fraudulent means.
He caused hundreds of thousands of them to lose loved ones to Covid due to his own incompetence. He urged them to attack the Capitol and then quickly abandoned those he encouraged to fight for him.
They took their medical advice from a man who didnt have enough common sense
to not stare directly at a solar eclipse. They blindly follow a man who thinks the sound of wind turbines causes cancer, and the Revolutionary War was won by shutting down the airports in 1775.
And yet they still support him, still sing his praises still worship him in place of the Christian God they once professed to follow and obey.
And they still wonder why we libtards think theyre dumb-as-fuck cultists who have lost all ability to think for themselves.
Go figure.

(3,759 posts)It is true that people do not like to be wrong, conned, naive or stupid; nor to admit failures and shortcomings.
However, it is a sign of maturity to be able to admit mistakes and learn from experience.
Too many so-called adults are just inner-child brats.

No, wait, scratch all that. You're right. Theyre dumb-as-fuck cultists.

(22,069 posts)Just prior to the 2016 election, I went golfing and was paired with a fellow who was very vocal in his support of Trump. There are many arcane rules in golf but one unwritten rule is to never talk about politics or religion.
This guy thought Trump was awesome: He was rich, handsome, married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, brilliant and witty, had his own plane, had his own buildings, had is own TV show, etc.
Since I've ben unfortunate to have watched Trump since the 1980s, I was a bit flabbergasted by this man's sycophant behavior. When I suggested we keep politics off the course, unsurprisingly, he became more belligerent. His closing remark about Trump was that he was also a great golfer who owned the world's best courses.
It didn't surprise me that this fellow cheated one way or another on every hole we played even though we had a gentlemen's match underway. (I still won by one hole!)

(13,575 posts)I was riding a city bus a couple of years ago. A young man was standing up next to the driver and they were talking about Trump.
Look at his beautiful wife -- a MODEL!
Look how rich he is! As rich as the richest man....what's his name? (I had to supply the name Rockefeller, and they said yes! yes! Rockefeller!)
Look how he does anything he wants! And he wins everything!
They were totally in thrall to the image.

(22,069 posts)This is why I don't understand anyone who believes anything Trump says.
He ALWAYS lies.
He's ALWAYS full of BS.
He's ALWAYS wrong.
He's ALWAYS a misogynist, a con-man, a failure and a racist.
It's weird that seemingly intelligent people can't see these obvious faults.

Yes, we "libtards" think Doturd supporters are IGNORANT, RACIST, IMBECILIC ASSHOLES.
Who OBVIOUSLY cannot think or reason for themselves.
Hillary was right many years ago: A basket of DEPLORABLES.

(15,393 posts)Despite their protestations, there is ONLY ONE reason they worship this dipshit, and it's pretty simple.
He promised to hurt the people they most wanted to see hurt.
That's it. The sooner we can stop pretending, or hoping there's another reason, the sooner we can dump these ignorant and evil fucksticks on the ashheap of history.

(32,906 posts)The donors saw that their credit cards were being hit for multiple payments (unwanted charges) and they called Visa or Mastercard and complained. The charges were removed and Visa/Mastercard took the losses. The fraud claims have been filed by the credit card companies to recoup their losses.
I'm not sure what happens to all the poor saps who never noticed the fraudulent charges on their monthly credit card invoices. They may not get reimbursed, unless the credit card companies have contacted them and pointed it out to them. (Not sure if that ever happened, and I'm guessing that it didn't.)
Yes Chump is ultimately responsible for what the fundraisers did in his name. But I have no doubt that he turned deaf and dumb to this issue while it was benefitting him.
