We’ll D’uh!
And Dinesh D’Souza and Steve Bannon are on it too.
As much as I'm enjoying the January 6th committee's careful assembly of evidence proving former President Trump is a douchebag, I wasn't seeing much in the way of a criminal offense until this week's underreported story about how Trump used his "STOP THE STEAL" fundraising appeals to
grift his supporters out of $250 million, none of which was, in fact, used to fight election fraud.
It didn't even go to the
poor saps who got themselves arrested at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Instead, the $250 million seems to have been funneled exclusively to Trump
businesses, family and friends.
And let's not forget Steve Bannon's "
We Build the Wall" swindle; Trump sending out a fundraising appeal to raise funds for his new
private plane; and a Trump-affiliated organization paying Kimberly Guilfoyle
$60,000 to give a two-minute speech on Jan. 6 (introducing her fiance, Don Jr.). Every time you think you have your arms fully around Trump's con, you realize it's unfathomably more cynical and far-reaching than you could have imagined.
Is there anyone in Trump World who isn't trying to fleece the Deplorables? Haven't they suffered enough?
And the grift goes on ...
