About the "Con Artist " [View all]

...If the con artist comes to your house one time, with a con, and you don't know who he is, maybe he will "con" you. Let's say after the first con, he comes back again. And you know now he was/is a "con artist." So, you shut the door on him or call the police. Is that correct?
..Trump is coming back to the door over and over again. He has a belief that he can pull the "con" again. Perhaps he has been told, or deep down believes he can win again. But he is too stupid to know, that once conned by a certain "person", that it is all over for that person.
...Yes, there is a certain amount of resentment from being conned that does not go away. Most of us would never forget that con artist. Also, 25% might be stupid enough to be conned again, but we will be told by friends and family how stupid we are if we are part of that 25%. If Trump thinks he can "win again" then the main person he is conning is himself. He doesn't know it, mainly because he really is too stupid to know it.
