Well... in Trump's defense, he did say he loves the poorly educated 🤷‍♂️

Wait, so the person who has been accused of grifting for over 30 yrs grifted them? Aw, let me get my tiny violin.

"Hell yeah, let's donate money to the guy who is banned from RUNNING HIS OWN CHARITY." said no intelligent person ever.

Believe me, he's done this sort of thing for the past 40 years, it's one of his skillsets.

It wasn’t a sort of scam, it was a scam. In fact, it was theft.

Guy has a lifetime history of scamming and everyone is shocked when this happens.

If you donate to a grifter you have to expect him to try to rob you. Their mistake wasn't trusting him, it was believing he deserved their donations in the first place.

These people knew this man was a crook and they sent him money anyway!

[J-Sin]

I never understood why people donate their hard earned money to a politician, let alone Trump.

[ChosenOne]

They deserved it for supporting that carnival barker.

If I knowingly donated to a scammer and my bank account was drained out. I guess that was my fault for being too stupid.

The Manchurian Cantaloupe rides again....he is the grift that keeps on grifting.

[energizerhusky]

If he isn't put into prison after this...the system has really failed us more than it already has at this point.

[albertlee]

Think about it, why would a billionaire ask his supporting for a donation unless he's a grifter.

everyone keep an eye out for Trump's next campaign fundraiser: "I've recently learned that I am a Nigerian prince, please send me your bank account details"

This is how he treats those loyal to him. Absolutely disgusting.
