Those who cast ballots for Trump were 'conned'

Trump voter? Why? Maybe you voted for him because he said he was a "great businessman." You were conned. Most of his "business" is family-based, not open to disclosure or scrutiny, especially since he has refused to release his tax returns. There is one exception that occurred when he went into the casino business. By law, he was subject to scrutiny by regulatory agencies, the SEC, Gaming Commission, etc. So how did he do? His rich daddy tried to bail him out by buying millions of dollars worth of chips and destroying them, violating Gaming Commission rules and paying a whopping fine. Trump still went bankrupt. So, as a businessman, as far as we know, he's a total failure, coasting on the money he inherited. This information was available before the election, so if you got conned you're just too lazy to find out the truth.

You're religious? You voted for a man who has married three times, openly bragged about infidelity, sexual assault and walking in on beauty pageant contestants when they were undressed. Plus he has a record of cheating people who do business with him. All this was known before the election, so you're just a hypocrite. And we all know Jesus thought that sinners could be saved, but hypocrites were irredeemable. Good luck at the Judgment.

He keeps his promises? Boy were you conned! He promised "great health care, cheap." Then after he was elected, his health care plan will eliminate coverage to the poor and elderly, but give billions to the 1 percent. He's making America Great Again by abandoning our allies and embracing our enemies. Isn't that treason? I served 20 years in the Army infantry, with a tour in Korea and two in Vietnam, was awarded a Purple Heart with significant hospital time, Bronze Star, etc. Sounds like treason to me.
