Trump caught scamming his own supporters... what's new?

Online donors were guided into weekly recurring contributions. Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump’s struggling campaign afloat.

Crazy, isn't it? Trump once boasted that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any supporters -- and now it seems he can literally steal from those supporters and not lose any of them, either.

It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

Trump is a lifelong con-man. Scamming people is what he does best.

Yeah, pathetic help me from myself story....lol  Trump had nothing to do with people agreeing to a continuing donation regimen.  Isn't that the same gig PBS does with it's donations?  LOL

That's what Team Trump does.   The family motto is, "There's a sucker born every minute"

I’m a Bernie Bro. I donated to Bernie. But he also had the same deceptive donation scheme on his website. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same web designer. Not sure why Trump is being singled out.
