It ultimately resulted in the Trump campaign forking over millions in refunds. But returning the money once he was busted does absolutely nothing to change the fact that he swindled his own supporters out of it in the first place — some of which were elderly, on fixed incomes, or even terminally ill.
The scheme has miffed people on the Left and the Right alike, and one of Donald Trump’s former staffers just could not contain his anger of it all during a recent appearance on MSNBC.
Speaking with the network’s host Kendis Gibson, former Trump staffer turned Trump critic blasted his former boss and ex-president as the “cruel con man” we all know he is.
“One person in the New York Times reporting was a cancer patient in hospice who couldn’t afford utilities or rent,” Gibson said. It was then that Taylor lost his cool.
“My mother is a hospice nurse, you see how difficult life is for people at end of life and to raid someone of their money at the end of their life has to add onto that hardship for the whole family,” Miles responded.
So, on the one hand, Trump doesn’t want to shake their hands but he wants to raid their pocketbooks. This shouldn’t surprise us because this is who the man has always been; he’s a major league all-star of grifting. A con artist, as my fellow guest noted; promoting Trump casinos, Trump Universities, Trump mortgages, and the Trump administration which ended up being a scam and we know the Trump campaign was a scam.”
Taylor went on to suggest that the victims of this scheme sue the former president, just like he would do to them in a heartbeat had he been on the other side of such a marketing scam.
