Trump's campaign is being run like a scam operation, similar to his business operations

Trump is collecting large sums of money from people who are confident his ventures — be it a casino a presidential campaign — will bear some fruit in the future. And, in both cases, Trump seems to lose interest in those people once he's taken their money.

And so the Cheeto Bandito is only doubling down on the same game he has played for years to scam people out of money. If he somehow ends up as president will he threaten to bankrupt the treasury to get what he wants?

"A fool and his money are soon parted." These donors have had plenty of warnings as to whom or what they were dealing with. When someone reveals himself to you as a con man, you cannot blame anyone but yourself when he decides to make you his next target. I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there in a similar position as the one who alerted the media guy. Let's hope we start hearing from them in droves.
