Today's Tiedrich rant: dumb-ass Trumpers are getting scammed by grifters selling fake money



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/dumb-ass-trumpers-are-getting-scammed

if some skeevy dude sidled up to you on the street, offered to sell you Biden Bucks and told you they’d make you rich, you’d roll your eyes. “no, seriously,” you’re told. “Joe Biden’s going to change the banking system, and these Biden Bucks are going to be worth millions.”

at that point, you’d tell them to fuck straight off. all of which makes you smarter than a Trump cultist. it’s a wise old saying: a Trump supporter and his money are soon parted. Donny’s been hip to this for years. there’s no end to the cheesy grifts he uses to separate the rubes from their social security checks.

Screenshot:


remember those idiotic NFT trading cards, the childish JPEGs depicting Trump as Superman, a cowboy, and Elvis? Trump harvested millions in cash from selling them to credulous dopes. you’ll be shocked to learn they’re now worthless. ...

which brings us to Trump Bucks. nitwits have been shelling out thousands of dollars for these worthless items, because they’ve been sold a fantasy.

Quote:
Supporters are told Trump Bucks will propel Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential bid and make the “real patriots” who support him rich when he wins and they can cash in. How would it work? According to NBC News, those who got duped believe Trump, when he is re-elected, will institute a new monetary system that will make Trump Bucks valuable.


oh, for fuck’s sake.

It's another great rant by Jeff Tiedrich.

Also Tiedrich says more on Chump's gibberish language, called "phonemic paraphrasing" by some experts. It's a sign of dementia and Chump is showing it regularly during his rally speeches. He can't think of the right word so he makes up a word that sounds like it means the same thing. This has been remarked on by Chump's critics (including Tiedrich) but it's almost never mentioned in the news media. They gloss over it, or they edit it out in their regular reporting.

Tiedrich's point is that the media keeps harping on "Joe Biden's age" non-issue, but they completely ignore the obvious signs of dementia shown by Chump.

Turns out, Trump Bucks aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. Just ask John Amann of Houston who said he bought $2,200 worth of the phony currency and other Trump monetary items over the past year only to discover they were worthless when he tried to cash them in at his local bank.
