    I dunno. If he thinks he can win the presidency but lose the popular vote again, I think he'd be all over that.

    He's spent his entire life taking the rubes. I'd guess he's ceased to be surprised by how stupid his marks are.

    I doubt he's surprised. But he revels in knowing and bragging that he's taking advantage of stupid people.

    He has said publicly that he loves the uneducated. The uneducated don't understand that's not a compliment.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't intend to run again, he just wants to signal that he's interested so his rubes will continue to donate money to him. I think his ideal end game was always monetizing his collection of devoted wallets by way of a media network, not the Presidency.

    Hold on, are you implying that he's been conning them out of their money?

    He should be thinking that but I'm kinda convinced that he doesn't do a lot of thinking.

    Trump held a contest for small donors to have dinner with him, but no one won the prize, report says

    • Trump's PAC offered small donors the chance to win a dinner with him in New Orleans last week.
    • No one won the prize, and Trump met with influential donors instead, The Washington Post reported.
    • A Trump spokesperson said no winner was chosen due to an "administrative" error.
    Former President Donald Trump's political action committee offered supporters the chance to win an intimate dinner with him if they donated money, but no one received the prize, according to The Washington Post.

    Small donors were teased in e-mails from the Save America PAC with the promise of a plane ticket, a "very nice hotel," and a meal with the former president in New Orleans if they donated "any amount," the newspaper reported. The total retail value of the prize, according to the PAC, is about $3,000.

    But four people familiar with the matter told The Post that no flight or hotel was booked, and Trump did not partake in a one-on-one dinner with a prizewinner.

    Instead of taking part in the New Orleans dinner, The Post reported that the former president met with a handful of influential donors who had given tens of thousands of dollars each.

    The Office of Donald J. Trump did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on Saturday morning.

    In a comment provided to The Post, Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich said Friday that no winner was chosen due to an administrative error.

    "President Trump has awarded more than 100 prizes to contest winners across America, but due to an administrative error in this individual circumstance, the contest winner was not properly notified for last weekend's event in New Orleans," Budowich told The Post. "Consistent with the rules of the sweepstakes, a substitute prize will be awarded to the winner."

    After his borrowed plane had to make emergency landing, the twice impeached loser asked his cult to send him money to buy a new plane. The funds go to his personal PAC which he can use for whatever he wants.
    I am long past feeling sorry for suckers who still send him money.

    That's gonna cost a hell of a lot more then a free dinner. They probably have time shares to sell.

    He's over 80, so it's ok to lock him up.
