On this Memorial week-end, as Republican fiscal terrorists hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage to their stated goal of tanking the economy and destroying Joe Biden’s great economic record, you will at least be gratified to learn that some MAGA voters are paying through the wallet for their out of control stupidity…
“In the recesses of the internet where some of Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters stoke conspiracies and plot his return to the White House, suspected con artists have been mining their disappointment over the last presidential election for gold.
They’ve been peddling “Trump Bucks,” which are emblazoned with photos of the former president, and advertising them online as a kind of golden ticket that will help propel Trump’s 2024 bid and make the “real patriots” who support him rich when cashed in.
John Amann told NBC News he bought $2,200 worth of Trump Bucks and other items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank. So he’s gone on Twitter to warn other Trump supporters not to fall for this scam.”
This writer has to commend you, John Amann, if I were to fall $2,200 dollars deep into such an obvious scam I could not confide my idiocy to family and friends, much less advertise it On Twitter for all to see:

“Now I’m questioning whether he is aware of this,” Amann said of Trump.
They could look like Meredith Burgess at the end of that Twilight Zone episode and still think Trump had nothing to do with it.

John should put his money into his children’s and grandchildren’s education to ensure they do not reach adulthood with his world class level of stupidity.
Apparently the companies selling this stuff imply that when the former guy issues his new monetary system, these can be exchanged for their face value in currency.
The people buying into this never ask how that’s going to work.
The blow up I’m waiting for is when the MAGAs who invested in Truth Social realize that that money is gone. Maybe that’s why Kimberly Guilfoyle is being so mean to DeSantis rights now. She may know that Trump’s credibility with MAGA is about to be sorely challenged.
A group of people stupid enough to purchase trump bucks, shares of trooth social, magat hats, etc. are not going to think twice when his twitter wannabe s & m site goes tits up. I’m sure trump will have something/someone to blame and that will be all his rubes will need to hear. We’re talking about people who purchased pieces of paper with the shit gibbon’s face on it and thought it was worth something. If any of these morons can tie their own shoes without help, I’d be very, very, surprised. Honestly. I think they all wear strap-ons or slip-ons.
I seem to recall that MTG bought a lot of stock in that scam.
How much do you want to bet there’s a “limited edition” run of such things in the denomination of $45, available for the low, low price (If You Buy TODAY!) of “only” $1,000? And that MAGAs have bought them? Or that they are in the denomination of $45 and can be bought (for say twenty bucks) like the old U.S. Savings Bonds and will mature (in a much shorter time frame) to their full value?
I marvel at the stupidity and lack of critical thinking skills. With luck, getting scammed like that will make them abandon Trump. Nah, probably not. Sigh.
