49. Most anyone can be scammed

But come on these Trump supporters are just asking for it.

First they buy into crazy right wing conspiracy theories (which is why they click on these ads.), then they waste their money on Trump memorabilia (proving they like to buy junk if it's related to Trump), then someone cons them into Trump conspiracy financial investments.

Some of them bought US dollars with Trump's face on the fake money. They believe that when Trump is the US dictator in chief again, this money will be the new US currency. All the crap you have to believe to just hope this scenario will play out is mind boggling.
