Monetize that Scam!
Trump is going to cash in either way.
Facing a tough uphill battle in the last weeks before the election, Donald Trump, newly “unshackled” from his party’s leadership, is offering his voters a fresh way to help him get elected: A “limited edition” Trump Black Card, which does absolutely nothing but remind you that you contributed to his campaign.
For a candidate who loves to hate on elites, this latest fundraising gimmick, promoted in a campaign email to supporters, exudes exclusivity. It’s “non-transferable and “invitation only.” If you contribute a special discounted price of $35, you “activate your Elite Membership.”
The card itself can’t quite make up its mind whether it’s a “Trump card,” which would be a somewhat clever play on words, or a “black card,” connoting a high-end rewards credit card.
And while, yes, the card itself means nothing, the entire right is based upon bilking suckers out of their money. How many would sign up for a Trump card or some kind that was an open grift? Millions. Expect that to happen.
