He’s doing a great job of grifting. It’s a excellent cash grab. You have to admire his ability to steal from those who support him.
“It’s hard to steal a million dollars from one person, the con is stealing a dollar from a million” said someone smarter then me.
Agree with Curt, it's a great line, and he's certainly going to make plenty of money.
But whatever money he makes, it's less the result of him begin a great grifter, and more the result of a lot of people being, well, dumb.
It's not charitable to say, but it's the truth. His entire persona, right down to the golden toilets, is comic-movie-villain, but somehow he pulls it off.
