It makes sense to scam stupid people where they congregate.
Color me shocked!
You mean an entire political party that eschews critical thinking would get easily scammed?? No way!
Today’s least surprising headline.

Boss getting a cut?
The whole MAGA movement is a set of nested scams that enable scam artists. It’s a Ponzi scheme of lies, violence, and lawlessness.
Right, so it’s just another Trump thing doing what Trump things do…
Fuck this clown, and his supporters.

Some of these people are downright stupid. You could retire inside a year grifting Trump supporters.
Trump might skimming a percentage of the scammers income like any decent mob boss wolf do 😂
Maga and getting grifted from all sides are synonymous.
Yeah I wondered a while ago if this was the actual reason for the site having any real value. There’s no real rational reason that advertisers would choose to advertise on truth.com when it has a much smaller user base than other social networks, and that user base is often associated with ideologies that advertisers tend not to want to be associated with. Except… That this user base is a prime group for grift or other stupid purchases. It’s kinda like how a lot of scammers fill their initial messages with spelling errors to filter out intelligent people. Truth.com gives a lot of bang for your buck in that it naturally filters out a large group of people that won’t fall for scams.
Surprised Trump doesn’t demand his cut of all that grifting.
When you need a rube to scam, what better pool of rubes is there?
Should I just start asking for money from people who support Trump? No promises, just spamming a request to donate.
“If you support Donald Trump, donate $5 to this cashapp!”
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
It’s pretty much a list of the stupidest and most gullible people in existence.
I really don’t care, do u?
I don’t care. Do you?
If you can be tricked into Trumpism…
Every penny these cretins get scammed out of, whether it is by Trump directly or someone pretending to be a Trump entity, is money that will Never make it into any Republican campaign fund.
Couldn’t happen to better people. Between this and the DJT stock crash, I hope every MAGA person goes bankrupt.
it s like an honeypot for marks
he is probably selling users mailinglists to Nigerian princes
Good
You deserve it. You wanted free speech. You wanted to say whatever. Now you want rules? If you’re bitchin you should have stayed away. If you’re getting taken advantage of, it’s because DJT does what he does. He lies, cons, and takes advantage of our most vulnerable citizens to enrich himself. People are copying his habits. You’re paying the bill.
There is a way to fix it. Quit social media and get out in the world. You might want to read more. You will be surprised at what you may learn.
Trump created a database of the most easily manipulated people in the country. It’d be a waste not to use it.
