I can't wait to see the level of grifts that will come when they really start to get desperate.
Not sure it can be called grift if he's literally saying they will be funding him.
There's no deceit involved in this case.
I mean, there's no deceit involved in modern UI\UX in social platforms either, but the paradigms are taken from gambling machines.
With Trump the grift is usually that the people who buy in think they are funding his campagn whereas he uses much of the money for other stuff like his personal lawsuits for business fraud and the like.
Fair.
