as these poor dumb dupes turn over their hard earned money to a guy who brags about being a billionaire so he can pay legal bills.

Oh, right, they're used to sending money to televangelists who live like Sultans.

He's lost his "bully pulpit" so he's willing to do anything he can think of for attention, which he's obviously become addicted to. As he fades into irrelevancy, he's becoming desperate...

But then we know that TFG doesn't read, so he has no clue what's in The Constitution (which he swore an oath to!), let alone any amendments.
