Donald Trump didn't have a presidency -- it was a crime spree. And the former President, to this day, has been playing his supporters for suckers. It's been the longest grift ever.

Just late last year, Trump announced his foray into NFTs. The virtual trading cards targeting his supporters for sales depict him as a superhero. And more recently, after the one-term scandal-plagued President announced that he would be arrested on Tuesday of this week, he sent out an email blast begging for donations. The arrest hasn't happened yet, but the grift did. He raised $1.5 million in three days.

Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast and remarked on Ron DeSantis.

"He's been on a fake presidential campaign book tour funded by Rupert Murdoch for weeks now," Harrington said. "People are smart. Why we love Trump so much is because he doesn't take us for suckers."

Twitter users weighed in:

Trump has been a con man for his entire life. That's why he's so hated in New York City. They can spot a grifter from a mile away.
