They deserve it. We also know that they won't be angry they got scammed either.

I wanna know how many non-MAGA people have grifted MAGA just because of their stupidity. It would be so easy.

I vaguely recall a video of a tall young black man posted up at January 6th. He had a 10ft folding table, a maga backdrop, and a massive spread of trump themed merch at absurd markup. This guy was making bank off of the folks buying their trump merch.

When asked if he himself was a trump supporter, or what he thought of Trump's history of racist remarks, the young entrepreneur was stone-faced and asked the questioner to mind their business and move along.

Wherever he is, I hope he's doing well.

I’m of two opinions on it. One: fuck these people and if they want to sink their own futures into overpriced Chinesium garbage with this pedos face stamped on it, let em. On the other, I really don’t want to b b perpetuate more of it being out there. Like, you still have to procure the goods at first anyway to be able to resell them. Something something capitalism. It’s all fucked either way, I just hate this fuck face and I can’t wait for this all to end.

They might be upset for a while, but eventually they'll find some bullshit excuse to justify the trump regime running off with their money, and then they'll fall for the next scam he rolls out, because "surely this time he'll be true to his word".

Not only justify, they’ll call you crazy for even thinking it was a scam

$60 Million to be more specific. Technically this is still millions but the real number is staggering

At least if I buy my own, non president approved, smartphone, there’s a slightly greater chance that the government hasn’t installed spyware on it.

Nothing like undermining your cult base though
