I mean what even is that? Is he profiting from the scamming somehow?
His constituents would be the main ones falling for the scams.
I would love for conservative rural voters to know the contempt trump has for them.
Doesn't matter, we need easily digestible tidbits to feed his cultists.
It actually matters quite a lot because some of them are going to ask why and you're not going to have an answer, thereby accomplishing nothing but emboldening them
Turn it around. Ask them why he would do this to them. To them, personally.
"Did he say he wants us to be scammed? There must be a reason this that we don't understand"
Now what? You don't have a reason he would want that and they know it.
You don't get these people on our side by making shit up and giving them reasonable outs
They don't use reason, why would I?
"He's the one doing this to you. Ask him why he's doing this to you."
Because you're just wasting your time lol
A lot of otherwise reasonable people got swept up in this for one reason or another. There's no saving some of them but you're not gonna win anyone over by lying to them
They were won over by someone lying to them. You're not gonna reason them out of something they didn't reason themselves into.
Fight fire with fire.
