Newsletter: Even the most pro-Trump crypto faithful think Trump’s new crypto scheme is a terrible idea. Also, an FTX crypto executive earns some benefit of the doubt, and a lawsuit accuses “Pharma Bro” Martin Shkreli of disrespecting the Wu-Tang Clan.

Why do so many people fall for Trump's scams? This isn't meant as invective but as a genuine quesiton. He's been doing scam after scam for decades now, sometimes involving taking money from charities. Lots of banks refuse to loan him money because he defaults so often. Companies refuse to do business with him for the same reason.
So why do his supporters give him their money?
Is it years of propaganda plus people taken in by the "scripted reality" on the Apprentice?
Are they looking for permission to be racist and bigoted? But how does giving a conman your money help you be a bigot?
Trump is the man

THE COURT: All right. I’m going to excuse you. Juror Number 59, come on up.
JUROR NO. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of
anything because —
THE COURT: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has
not been proven guilty?
JUROR NO. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.
THE COURT: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.
JUROR NO. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.
