SUPPORTERS OF DONALD TRUMP are told that so-called “Trump Bucks” will propel his 2024 presidential bid and make the buck-buyers rich when he wins and they can cash in. How would it work? Those who bought the bucks believe that when Trump is re-elected, he will institute a new monetary system that will make Trump Bucks valuable!
Since 2020, when Joe Biden defeated Trump in the presidential election, internet hucksters have been selling pro-Trump products like coins, checks, and cards and marketing them as novelty items. The fine print on the websites offering these items usually notes that they are memorabilia.
The trump bucks stop here!
So, my question is: When the folks who buy these things in 2023 find out they are absolutely worthless in 2024, which Biden do you think they will blame?
Yeah yeah yeah! I know this was an easy target but, hey, I’m human—I couldn’t resist.
