Con man?
Rubio is calling Trump a con man.
In terms of personality, it's a good hit. Trump certainly has all the standard characteristics of the 'boomer' type.
In terms of results, it doesn't work. Some of his ventures have failed, but all of them led to literally concrete results. Real hotels, real casinos, real golf courses. A professional con man leads to plenty of on-paper projects but nothing real.
In terms of timing, it's peculiar.
Back in June when Trump first announced, his intentions looked scammy for sure. Just another way to gain publicity, then drop out and reap the rewards.
Now it makes no sense at all. At this point, after winning two major primaries and looking certain to win the rest, where's the con? What could Trump gain by dropping out now, or by taking the oath and then quitting? What could he gain from the punishment of four years in office, during which time he MUST lose control of his enterprises? There are easier ways to retire. Quitting or sneaking out will lead to economic disaster for his brand.
You wanna talk about cons? The Repoofs have been promising God and delivering Satan, promising prosperity and delivering starvation, for 30 years. There's your fraud.
