This billionaire is still begging for money. Disgusting.

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

My wife's uncle needed some level 1 tech support a few years back while we were visiting. I couldn't get wifi to work or something stupid. Iirc I fixed it by turning either the router or the computer off and back on again. While I was doing it, I opened the browser to see he left his email open. I shit you not, 90% fundraising requests from Donnie and the chuds.

Shoulda clicked "mark spam" on all of them

And now I want to write a website for donating to Trump or right wing causes that actually sends all funds to pro Palestinian causes.

[-] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

It's disgusting but also a sure sign that Trump and the MAGA leadership know their time may be ending.

[-] KnitWit@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago

I don’t think it has anything to do with thinking it will end soon. He has zero ability restrain himself. Take the Jerome Powell thing; in May his term ends no matter what and Trump can appoint whoever he likes, legally. And yet, he is going out of his way to frame him for fraud so that he can remove him NOW. The simple function of him being told no obsesses to the point of mania. He fails the ‘marshmallow test’ in spectacular fashion, and this is just another example of it.

He is a monster unrestrained in all aspects.

[-] joekar1990@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

He's been sending out these emails since he left office the first time. He's just never stopped, so unfortunately this is not anything new or a sign they think their time may be ending.

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

That's like implying Mr. Krabs is definitely going bankrupt because he jumped excitedly on a shiny penny.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 3 points 2 months ago

Not really. He is a grifter and always have been one, and he will continue to grift until the day he dies. His grifting is a sign of nothing else than who he really is.

[-] flowers_galore2@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

Well, in all fairness he does have a LOT of debt. Probably more than that billion.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago

He probably really is a billionaire now on account of all the corruption and grifting he has done during this presidency.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 months ago

Can the haters prove their hate by invoicing him?

[-] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Trump owes me 5 million dollars for the stress he's caused

[-] MushuChupacabra@piefed.world 14 points 2 months ago

it's a smart move.

His supporters are fucking idiots, and will cough up the cash.

That includes the ones who are waiting on the Trump phones that they paid for.

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

I often wonder to myself, if I decide to swindle them as well, will that just solve the mess we're in? Cause I'm extraordinarily unlucky.

[-] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

You'd end up on a list and get disappeared.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Another deadbeat billionaire.

[-] agingelderly@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

The bezo bribe wasn't enough?

[-] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Nothing is ever enough for these people.

[-] mrmaplebar@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

Any way to proove my hate?

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago
[-] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I, too, am trying to separate his supporters from their cash.

[-] decapitae@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Ew. Gross, who wants to give money to a pedophile?

[-] flowers_galore2@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 months ago

My guess is around and about 40% of the US population that has the right to vote.

[-] whereIsTamara@lemmy.org 3 points 2 months ago
[-] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 months ago

MAGA is in a findom relationship with a big titted blonde with a huge ass and I love that for them.

[-] einlander@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The Government is doing the Prosperity Gospel.

[-] RotatingParts@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Sounds like the religious playbook. Praise and worship me or you will be punished and by the way, give me money.
