The never-ending 2020 election

Fishing For The Sucker Born Every Minute

Trump lost his attempt at reelection almost a year ago but that has not stopped his appeals for more cash from his followers.

“Your support is crucial right now, Go. We are losing our Country!”

- Donald J. Trump

I shouldn’t have done it, but I couldn’t resist the temptation. Sometime in the middle of last year’s presidential campaign, I clicked on one of Trump’s ever-present popup ads offering me the chance to offer my opinions on the issues facing our country. Under the name of Go F###yourself, I proceeded to tell him that I didn’t want the wall built, that defunding the police was an excellent idea and that I didn’t think the mainstream media was #FakeNews or a threat to our country. I don’t think that he read my responses.

Almost immediately “Go” received his first email thanking him for his “support” and encouraging a donation to the Trump campaign. It was quickly followed by another, and then another. And then still another. It was a constant torrent of appeals from Trump, members of his family, and others within the Trump orbit.
