Normally I feel sorry for people who get scammed but in this case shitty people getting scammed by the scammer they inflicted on the rest of us don't get my sympathy.

I only feel sorry about the money that is now gathered up into the hands of an empowered monster instead of safely dispersed amongst brainless lickspittles.

yeah, I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, fuckin magas got conned by a conman. On the other hand, the bloated turd got a bunch of money for.... literally nothing.

He has infinite money anyway. I am just happy MAGAts are finding out.

Doubt they will learn anything, sadly.

they made a golden statue of him, doubtful, apparently the recent statue is paid by the cryptobros.

If I get my hands on him...

They got scammed the first time around too. Remember "Finish The Wall"? Trump didn't build an inch of wall with that money, it just vanished into thin air and appeared as a few extra digits in his bank accoount.

The same people who forked over money for that and then admitted regretting it afterwards were the same ones gleefully preordering this phone. They'll be mad about it for a bit and then they'll fall for it again in due time. Easy marks.

We are legit dealing with some undiagnosed dementia patients, only way to explain this.

plus they got scammed more than once, not once, not twice, not even thrice, its more than that, at this point its on the scamee.
