Friday Fun: Herr Drumpf Doubles Down on His Grifting

From the same grifter that last month offered “autographed” photos of himself for $45, Herr Drumpf this week asked his Trumpkins to vote for their favorite design from four offerings to then become the “Offical” [sic] Trump membership card.   Trump’s Save America PAC, according to Insider, sent out at least two emails with the four selections of red-and gold cards, similar to credit cards.

“The card you select will be carried by Patriots all around the Country,” the first email said. “They will be a sign of your dedicated support to our movement to SAVE AMERICA, and I’m putting my full trust in you.”

The Trump team said in a follow-up email, “We’re about to launch our Official Trump Cards, which will be reserved for President Trump’s STRONGEST supporters.”

“We recently met with the President in his Florida office and showed him four designs,” the email continued. “Originally we were planning on releasing just one design, but when President Trump saw the cards on his desk, he said, ‘These are BEAUTIFUL. We should let the American People decide – they ALWAYS know best!'”

[EDITOR’S NOTE: “They ALWAYS know best!”  He’s right – both Hillary and Biden beat him with landslide votes!]

But two glaring oddities were immediately noticed:

[1] He misspelled “Official” as “Offical”

It’s not all that surprising.  After all, we knew they were Nazis – but obviously they’re not GRAMMAR Nazis.

Even more understandable when you meet the proofreading team for the membership card:

[2] Donnie is no longer even trying to hide his true feelings.  He brazenly included the official symbol of the Nazis that was first used in 1920s Germany.  So it’s not a bit difficult to believe that The Former Guy (TFG) would go with the Third Reich’s official symbol – the Iron Eagle!

As you knew would happen, the Twitterverse pounced!

The Nazi’s Iron Eagle quickly became a favorite topic.

 

 

And it’s not the first time TFG has used the Third Reich’s Iron Eagle.  Remember the Trump/Pence “America First” T-shirts?

 

And since request for an armband was raised, I decided to go ahead and design one for them myself:

Word on the street is the card will be well worth having.  If your Visa or Discover card is declined at Starbucks, you can use it to at least buy a cup of covfefe.  It probably won’t be long before we see TFG borrowing Capital One’s credit card slogan: “What’s in Your Wallet?”  I can see it now:

Of course there will be other perks (but only if those Trump businesses still exist) …

 

Rep. Eric Swalwell was kind enough to add a disclaimer for the card:

 

I think this is a good Bottom Line summary of TFG membership card grift:

    Unbelievable.  Un-frikken-believable.  I can hardly wait to hear how much they will cost.  (Are they smart enough to use all four designs for different cash tiers?  That also remains to be seen.)

    I’m a person who plays a lot of “hidden object” games, which means I also run into some “spot the difference” images (and frankly I’m not terriby good at that), and as such I can actually see more differences than similarities between the eagles.  However, standing, sitting, or leaning back and looking at the overall impression rather than the details, the resemblance is chillingly clear.And what do you want to bet it wins bigly?

    Thanks, Nameless, for the dark humor.  Dark is far better than none.

      Joanne, you made me think of the article I read this morning about the big payment DT made for a company who sends his emails (mostly fundraising) and the refunds he and RNC had to give earlier this year and last year due to complaints (e.g., prefilled mini font recurring payment boxes, etc.) and if this one also sent by that company–and where is money related to voting on which (always follow the money I learned).

    Two of my coworkers, both trump supporters, were talking to each other today about this latest scheme. I swear to God, they both started this sinister laugh about these Trump cards that given their cult-level worship for that bastard made my skin crawl. Those two are ignorant sheep full of fear and hate for any group outside their narrow view of reality.
    That being said I don’t think the cards will be a success but trump is still worshiped by these people and the last thing normal people need to do is underestimate him or his supporters.

    My goodness, is there nothing not tacky about TFG? He’s so cheap he won’t fork out for a good designer (or he can’t find any to work for him) so he steals the ideas of others (membership cards, Nazi eagles, tiers in cards) and then gets the spelling wrong. The latter will probably prevent him from being sued over the illegal use of the word “official” in his case.

    Of course, his membership cards will be gobbled up by the many Americans who crave to belong and have something to show they belong.

    Thanks for this new TFG folly, Nameless.  I wish I could say I like your armband design, but its afterimage stays too long on my retina.

    Mental illness is defined as “a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behavior, or social interaction.”  Snickering fools at BB’s work place seem to fit into this description, imho.

    Totally insane seeing what tRump will do to keep getting these fools who still “love and support him”, to keep contributing these high amounts to him. What part of he’s just using them to get their money, don’t they understand? Like they’re total brainless idiots to support this bas*ard.
    These cards are a flipping joke, just like you point out, he’s copying the Nazi’s symbols/emblem. While he was pretending to be President, he made it well known that he was a lover of pUtin. Bragging of his friendship with pUtin and kim jong un. Belittling our FBI and other country authorities. 
    That armband really does look like a communist’s creation. 
    Enjoyed your post of reminding us what country tRump supports. 
    Thanks Nameless

    I keep hoping he will go away or shut up, but guess it will not happen.

      Patience.  From my hubby’s arrest to his sentencing was 17 onths, and then it was another month and a half before they got him into a prison I could visit.  And that was a small, single offence to which he was always going to plead guilty – it was just a matter of working out a deal.  No one was ever goig to show up  armed and with pitchforks and torches at the courthouse fir him.

      The “right to a speedy trial” basially means that the government cannot delay holding the trial while looking for evidence  so they must be ready to go to trial before making an arrest.  And that means having ALL evidence lined up in acceptable for for the court.  That is not as easy as it sounds in a huge public case.   Now, if the defense makes, delays, that does not infringe the right to a speedy trial, because the government is not the one doing it.
