Bombshell report from the New York times this past weekend showed that the Trump campaign
really was the grift that keeps on grifting. And for many recurring donors, that that grift is
kind of still going on. I guess the New York times found that the Trump campaign,
uh, starting all the way back in September had basically opted all of their donors into recurring
either weekly or monthly donations. And you had to physically go through the terms and conditions and
unselect recurring donation, otherwise, whatever you decided to give five, 10, 15, $20 was either
going to come out every single week from your bank account or once a month. And of course, when they
had their money bombs, you were automatically signed up for that. And that would be double
your donation again. Yes, you physically opted out of it. They set up their website,
their, their donation website at wind red automatically take it that money
out of your account, unless you told them do not take this money out of my account.
Here it is from the New York times, uh,
contributors had to Wade through a fine print disclaimer, and manually uncheck a box to opt out
as the election near the Trump team made that disclaimer, increasingly opaque and investigation
by the New York times showed it introduced a second pre-checked box known internally as a
money bomb that doubled a person's contribution. Eventually it solicitations featured lines of text
in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language. So this was by design.
Okay. This was not an accidental like, Oh, Oh no, I'm sorry. We didn't mean to do this to you. We
didn't mean to have you continue to donate to us and all of that. No, no, no, no, no. This was by
design. They wanted this to happen because they knew that people weren't paying attention and
wouldn't know what to do. And they had hoped that enough people would just say, ah, screw it.
Right. I mean, let's be honest. How many times have we seen recurring payments
coming out of our thing for something we don't have something we don't use,
uh, service that we don't even know. I remember our log-in for, but Hey, it's like four or five
bucks a month and we just say, screw it. It does happen. And so I think that's what the Trump
campaign was going for. That may be, you'd have more people say, screw it. We don't care about it.
Then you would have people making a stink. But in the end, according to this New York times report,
the Trump campaign ended up having to refund almost a little 11%
of their donations. 11% of their donations from 2020 had to be funded versus the Biden campaign
that only had to refund 2% of, of their donations. But folks, this is what we're talking about.
When we talk about Donald Trump being a grifter, because we also know that
nearly 3 million of this money was actually transferred over to the Trump organization
in order to pay off that organizations debts. This was a grift from the start
and his supporters got taken in hook line and sinker. And some of them were left with virtually
nothing. Okay. Some of these people who were automatically set up for these recurring payments
basically had nothing to begin with. One of them at least was already in hospice. Okay. So you
had this individual that is basically waiting to pass on. And the last thing that happens
to them in their life is that they get taken in by Donald Trump and his unfettered greed.
That's everything that you need to know about the Trump administration. That's everything
you need to know about Donald Trump himself, because this is what he's all about. It was
never always about winning. It was never about anything other than how much money he could put
in his pockets from the gullible and the naive. And I think the depths of that
we've barely even began to explore the surface of it.
Yeah.
