"Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election," reported Shane Goldmacher. "Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out. As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a "money bomb," that doubled a person's contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language."
The result was that many of these donors gave far more than they ever intended to the Trump campaign, and tons of them demanded refunds.

Check if you were ripped off by this scheme , put in claim for refund if appropriate and search internet for details of class legal actions which will be mounted shortly and see if you can join them to get your money and compensation
Good luck getting your money back

Taking money away from far right extremist lunatics and giving it all to a moron who'll just blow it all on golden toilets seems good to me

After hearing he bought into an MLM scheme before the election this does not surprise me at all.

I’m not saying every Trump supporter is a dim-witted terrorist who has sex with children, but that’s who they chose to represent them.

Someone call 911, I'm having a heart attack from that surprise.
OurLordandSaviorSkeletor
Wasn't this already known?
RelartOfGivia
It was. But it wasn't covered on FoxNews or any other righty BS sources.
UnspokenX
When this was first announced A YEAR AGO people noticed it and we all kept saying "in a year, there'll be articles about people bled dry."
jmbmpt
Just read the article in the NYT. Part of me feels sorry for these people, the other part just laughs at their dumb ass.
YouAreTheInsultMaster
They deserve no pity
ResoluteDuck
Don't feel sorry for them - even knowing they got scammed they still support him.
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
Ive come to the conclusion these ppl desperately want to be tricked out of their $. Itll be trump or a church or a MLM but someonell get it
Thelrishlnquistion
Part of me laughs at them, the other half just spits in contempt.
wiseandstupid
I don't feel bad for them, I just feel bad their money didn't go to a worthy cause
Billis75
Their money was never going to go to a worthy cause.
DwightHasTheFreshestBeets
I straight up just laughed out loud when I was reading this. just laughs, no feeling sorry for any of those dumb asses.
braaaiiiiinnnnsss
Fuck the cultists. They know perfectly well how much they're hurting others and don't care, why should we give a shit when they get hurt?

FatherAlexanderAnderson
I don't feel bad for them. Anyone stupid enough to cast a vote for Trump deserves to lose everything they have.
FatherAlexanderAnderson
And if you voted for him twice...then you deserve to be a homeless Nazi piece of shit. But please, defend yourself.. I could use the laugh
RuBisCO1
But they will still say we should not tax the rich "because someday [they] will be rich!"
FatherAlexanderAnderson
No...no, they will not be

Meanwhile the first ad on that page is a get rich quick scheme "how I made $$$ and you can to!"
Laheeho
You do realize ads are targeted, right? The first ad I saw was for vacation homes. Maybe you need to stop searching how to get rich quick.
nobodyspecial995
Unfortunately I do a lot of scambaiting, which really screws up the way advertisers think to target me.
jmbmpt
Mine was... None. I fucking use adblock.
nobodyspecial995
How do you know when somebody's using adblock? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
khety1890
This sounds.. illegal? To precheck such boxes? Or am I too european to understand that
MyTalkingDogLied2U
MyTalkingDogLied2U
It’s just different in Europe:)
UnspokenX
it's illegal if you dont know about it. but on the campaign there was fine print that says "By clicking ok you agree to monthly withdrawls."
blargedyblargedy
There are fines, you just have to be audited and caught first.

And if they are broke in 2024, Trump wont have a thing to do with them - they have nothing he values.

A Trump supporteer and their money are soon parted. I suppose if a person is dumb enough to support him, maybe they should have that happen.
Affray
Less money means less education, which is what lead to this problem in the first place. It would only make the issue worse.
commonZname
I work at a bank and have dealt with customers who lost thousands to this scheme, and still their support was rock solid to Trump.
HundredsAnd100s
The problem with that line of thinking is that most of those trump supporters have kids that depend on that money, too.
oopsydsy
No, please, don’t. No one deserves to be tricked out of money. I don’t care what the reason. MAGA, Church, insurance, grandson in jail...
bdesign7
Bullshit, you support Trump you deserve every bad thing that happens.
AntiProtonBoy
I don’t know. Hard to feel empathetic towards idiots who contribute to destruction of society.
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
These folks are BEGGING to be tricked out of their money. If it aint trump it'll be some pastor or a pyramid scheme. Someones gonna get it
FaptainPicard
Ah yes. The "They were asking for it" defense. That never leads down a victim blaming rabbit hole. /s
Dontstopbelever2000ismyfavoritesoap
Explaining how they brought this on themselves would run way past 140 characters, and Ive got no sympathy to spare for these morons
H0rndog
The phrase "Fuck em" springs to mind
AnnieWon

IKnowWhatImWorth
That's the kinda shit that breeds more of them. This is illegal and we should be fighting for their money back regardless.
IKnowWhatImWorth
Emotionally speaking I feel the same, though.
DestinyPrevails
And punishing Trump for scamming people will feel better than laughing at his braindead dupes anyway.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Trump supporters are truly the best marks in the business.

Their willfull ignorance towards Trump serves them right!

People willing to fuck over others are legitimately the easiest mark. So, yeah, your point stands.
FlatPlutoSociety
Yep. They don't even mind that they're being screwed as long as someone they dislike is getting screwed worse.
