There are companies that have been scamming Trump's base out of thousands of dollars selling "Trump Bucks" which they claim can be deposited with major banks at a premium. Some of these folks have actually tried to do so and been turned away.

They are using AI generated video images and audio of Trump and Elon Musk to promote their wares. Somewhere P.T. Barnum is laughing.

I want a Biden Buck. You know, the one with the photo of him drooling on himself on the front and the little brown turd on the back? They come in negative values: -$1 , -$5, -$10, so on.

And besides, some day that "Trump buck" may be worth a lot. Right now a Confederate $20 bill is worth far more than when it was printed (and it was worth zero after the Civil War). So a Trump buck that is worth nothing today might well bring collector value down the road.

Apparently the creator of this fraud believed he was addressing an easier market.

Liking Trump is one thing.

Being stupid enough to think American currency picturing Trump is real, is a whole 'nother level of gullibility.

But this does explain some of the other instances of his base being unable to process information correctly in the past.

Hey, I'd buy a Biden Buck with him drooling on the front and a turd on the back. Not because I think it would ever be worth anything, but because that's how much I dislike the guy. They could put a little picture of an eighteen wheeler in one corner and Corn Pop in the other, as well.

A plumb dumb bunch of rubes, and they took the bait.
