Wanna bet they would vote for him again, though?


Full report here: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/03/us/politics/trump-donations.html

Looking at the numbers surrounding this - the Trump campaign grifted $122,000,000 from MAGAts that needed to refunded to them...

Two takeaways from this:
1.
OF COURSE they were going to use their supporters to fill their coffers in a completely dodgy way.
OF COURSE they would not give a shit that in pulling this dodge MAGAts would be put into financial hardship.
OF COURSE this is just a further demonstration of the way the Trump Cabal of Nasty hold in contempt the cult base.
2.
If Trump runs in 2024 OF COURSE these scammed MAGAts will support the grift again... 👀

badly financially would not vote for him again. They wouldn't vote for a Dem, either. In that respect, the experience would not change them much. They would vote for another R scumbag besides the orange grifter, but not for him, either.

But that's moot, IMO. The former guy will not run in 2024. He will be in no shape to do it, physically, mentally, financially, or legally. My bet is that by the time 2024 gets here, he will be gone from the country to escape legal accountability for his crimes.

And yes, of course they'll support either him, or the next psychopath to come along.

I had heard it was indefinitely.

Maybe that is with people stupid enough to send him money now.

I remember trying to get the scum AOL to stop hitting my bank account.

They would just change the amount by a few cents each time I blocked them.

I finally had to close the account and open a new one in a different bank.

But for some Trump supporters like Ron Wilson, WinRed is a scam artist. Mr. Wilson, an 87-year-old retiree in Illinois, made a series of small contributions last fall that he thought would add up to about $200; by December, federal records show, WinRed and Mr. Trump’s committees had withdrawn more than 70 separate donations from Mr. Wilson worth roughly $2,300.

“Predatory!” Mr. Wilson said of WinRed. Like multiple other donors interviewed, though, he held Mr. Trump himself blameless, telling The Times, “I’m 100 percent loyal to Donald Trump.”
