I was personally scammed not too long ago and bought what I thought were legit concert tickets. In hindsight there were a couple of warning signs... that if I had been more attentive... might have alerted me to a problem. I was obviously embarrassed by this and hate to admit I got taken. My wife has taken great glee in needling me about it since. I would find more credibility in hearing previous Trump supporters admit that they got "scammed" into believing they were buying into something that has clearly turned out to be false.

A bunch of people fell for the Make America Great Again and Drain The Swamp rhetoric while also wanting to say F*CK YOU to the establishment. Now everyone has come to the realization that Trump isn't going to amount to a hill of beans and his supporters are bending over backwards to make excuses for a grossly incompetent prez. He is so way in over his head that he has to define failure as success and sell that to anyone stupid enough to listen. Sad part is that some people are still listening.
