One rarely-noted effect of the Trump phenomenon has been the massive windfall it’s been for scamsters and fraudsters in general.

Lists of suckers used to be expensive to compile and to buy. But once you’ve got a list of Trump supporters, you’ve got what’s basically solid 24-karat gold.

Fools and their money are soon parted. Screw 'em. Say, maybe we could get them to chip in for the cost of the wall, checks made payable to **Siam Sam**.

That list would make the Glengarry leads look like frugal gnomes and that is why the Trumpist leads are only for closers.

I’ll go for it so long as I get a cut.

(Of course as things stand, ALL US taxpayers are going to have to chip in for the cost of the wall. Unless Mueller’s got the goods and will reveal them before taxes go up. Then we’ll all wave a fond farewell to Trump as he is escorted to his cell, of course.)

No doubt that’s what the office manager has planned.

But, dude. There are at least 30 million on that f\*\*kin’ list! It’s breakin’ wide open!

Are you sure that’s just not the dementia progressing to the point where he can’t remember how to spell his name? **dasmoocher** thinks it’s only a matter of time.

Still have a ways to go before it hits the lowest price while Obama was in office (below $30/barrel in January 2016).

Trump [wonders](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1067066584882126848) why Mueller isn’t focusing on the members of his campaign who did not collude with Russia:

\*"When Mueller does his final report, will he be covering all of his conflicts of interest in a preamble, will he be recommending action on all of the crimes of many kinds from those “on the other side”(whatever happened to Podesta?), and will he be putting in statements from…

…hundreds of people closely involved with my campaign who never met, saw or spoke to a Russian during this period? So many campaign workers, people inside from the beginning, ask me why they have not been called (they want to be). There was NO Collusion & Mueller knows it!"\*

It is rather suspicious the way Mueller has focused the investigation on the people who know something. When will the voices of those with nothing to say be heard?

Maybe Trump thinks justice will be done by taking a vote. If a majority of the people who worked on the campaign _didn’t_ actually conspire with Russia, then he’s off the hook.

Doesn’t matter what the majority did- is there some sort of electoral college within his campaign who gets to make the call?
