Mary Trump writes about her uncle:
"Donald is not a builder—he has, in fact, created very few things in his life, unless you count the smoke and mirrors. Since he’s been unemployed over three years, he’s spent the bulk of his time playing and cheating at golf; but he’s also spent a considerable amount on his lucrative side-hustle: grifting his followers."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Sometimes the grift comes in the form of asking for campaign contributions that go to fund his legal expenses and not his campaign. Sometimes he hawks cheap products somebody pays him to slap his name on. In the last year alone we’ve gotten gold sneakers, non-fungible trading cards, bibles, and, most recently, watches."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"Donald long ago learned that there’s no risk in selling his name—he gets paid up front, does a sales pitch, and cashes his check.
The new watches sell for anywhere from $499 to $100,000 (not a typo)."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"In a slimy video that would be stunning in its ridiculousness coming from any other presidential candidate, Donald tells us the $100,000 watch is made with almost 200 grams of gold and 'more than 100 real diamonds. That’s a lot of diamonds. I love gold. I love diamonds. We all do.'
Jesus."

in reply to William Lindsey :toad: • • •"There are much, much worse things about Donald Trump than his shameless hucksterism, but leveraging the presidency in this way is truly grotesque. Despite the fact that we’ve learned to expect nothing, it’s still shocking that corporate media considers that this ugly aspect of a presidential candidate is something we all should ignore—or accept."
