Anything ever branded with the name "Trump"..Trump University, Trump ties, Trump Vodka, Trump airlines, Trump deodorant, Trump steaks, Trump underwear, Trump furniture, the Trump Network, Trump urine tests, Trump vitamins, Trump cologne, Trump hotels, Trump clothing, Trump mattress, Trump coffee, Trump pillows, Trump bed linens, Trump eyeglasses, Trump chandeliers and of course the Trump presidency. Since nearly everything mentioned has already failed or gone bankrupt, sensible people figured out the man is a walking-talking rip-off already...the rest will find out eventually.

The tv evangelists having the money raising telethons. They play on the emotions of the elderly and others. I tithe in my church, but I can see where the money is being used unlike the money grubbing sinners!

Trump University was a ripoff, but I don't know about his other brands.

This is a story about how he has buildings named Trump and the perception is that he owns it, but actually doesn't.

I am not saying everything with his name or or that is under his brand is a rip off, but some things are questionable.

Televangelist might be the biggest rip-off/scam in the world.

Like Jesse Duplantis. He asked his congregation for money so he can buy a $54M jet.

Christianity!
quote:


“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Matthew 10:34-39

This is exactly what a cult would say.

Lotteries

Still cannot believe they can publicize more than the NPV as the jackpot

That would be fraud if done by anyone else.
