So, it’s just another ploy to get Trump supporters to cough up more money for Trump.
Could be worse - he could be selling his artwork.
Doesn't the artist normally known as Hunter, have an auction today?

There's no need to be mean about Dubya.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Yeah, but the buyers aren't "anonymous."

“Trump's campaign scammed his donors with automatic recurring payments [using pre-checked boxes on online donation forms] — and now every major Republican is doing it”

Refunds :
“The refunds keep coming. Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party returned $12.8 million in donations in the first six months of the year, reports the New York Times. The figure illustrate how the aggressive fundraising tactics used for the presidential election continued to lead donors to demand money back. Overall, more than $135 million has been refunded to donors by Trump, the Republican National Committee, and their shared accounts in the 2020 cycle through June 2021, including around $60 million after Election Day. …”

Another prediction by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen:
Trump is bluffing about another presidential run because he can’t ‘stomach the notion of being a two-time loser’
https://www.businessinsider.com.au/michael-cohen-trump-bluffing-about-running-for-president-2024-2021-9- Michael Cohen said Trump is bluffing about a 2024 run in part because “he’s making more money doing that than anything he has ever done.”
- He told Insider Trump is also teasing a campaign to retain “some semblance of power, importance and relevance, none of which he has.”
- But in the end, Cohen said Trump won’t run because he can’t “stomach the notion of being a two-time loser.”

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Alternate headline:
"Axtremus quotes guy convicted for tax fraud and campaign finance violations in a thread about grift."
FWIW, the aforementioned tax fraud and campaign finance violator has previously made other stunningly accurate predictions regarding Trump’s 2020 electoral prospects as well as Trump’s post-election behaviors, see https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/5766/michael-cohen-prior-to-the-election

In its complaint filed Monday with the Federal Election Commission, American Bridge accused Trump of “illegally using his multicandidate leadership PAC to raise and spend funds in excess of Commission limits for the purpose of advancing a 2024 presidential campaign." The super PAC says that includes “payments for events at Trump properties, rallies featuring Mr. Trump, consulting payments to former Trump campaign staff, and digital advertising about Mr. Trump’s events and his presumptive 2024 opponent.”
.
Alleging that Trump has already privately decided to mount a 2024 campaign, American Bridge says he was then obligated to file a candidacy intent statement within 15 days of receiving contributions or making any expenditure over $5,000.
.
"Trump has played footsie with the Federal Election Campaign Act for months,” the group said Monday, noting that the former president, through his Save America PAC, has spent more than $100,000 per week on Facebook ads “and has consistently raised more than $1 million per week — a clear violation of campaign finance law and precedent established by the Federal Election Commission.”

I wll have to see if I can find the article, but somebody came up with a crypto currency called "Lets Go Brandon" (or something like that), and gifted President Trump with 500 billion of them. I believe that they are "worth" $4500 USD at the moment. LOL
Each one is worth = $0.0000003514

A pretty comprehensive chronology of how “True the Vote,” an organization that claims to have data that show massive voter fraud kept promising to release the data, repeatedly over time, yet never do. Every time they use the promise to release the data to get the believers to show up at their events, they end up promoting other things to those attendees. “True the Vote” thus deserves an entry in this thread about “The Never-Ending Grift.”

This one involves Hershel Walker -- various GOP politicians and related committees have been raising funds in Hershel Walker's name, but default to giving Hershel Walker's campaign only 10% of what's donated.
Perpetrators included J.D. Vance's campaign who continued to do this even after Vance has won his election in Ohio, and, of course, Donald Trump's Save America PAC.
