In reply to the discussion: MAGAs Are Fuming After Email Confirms They Will Never Get Their $500 Trump Phones or Deposits Back [View all]Cheezoholic
(3,855 posts)9. While I'm sure their are some angry, I still believe most of that 50-60 million in "deposits" were from fake actors
representing entities that were/are currying favors from His Lard Assship. I've seen this story echoed everywhere yet I haven't seen much proof of a MASS of MAGAts that are pissed. I've seen some people complain on right wing message boards and FB where I anonymously lurk, but I've yet to see anything that justifies the headline. That further makes me believe this was a scam to get a cool 50 million into his pocket by people wanting favors. Wouldn't be hard to "buy" 100 phones and then wink, especially if you're a company/corp.

After 10 years of his official scams they cannot tell the difference. It's a mental disorder resulting in a cult.

They may be fuming, but this is the LEAST valuable thing he has stolen from them, in a long list
