Donald Trump is a lifelong con artist. Half of the country knows this and cannot understand why the other half does not. Trump supporters continue to be gullible, to believe his lies and to willingly be his victims. What do we do about people who are so self-destructive?

Trump Has Always Been a Criminal | Opinion
The notion, then, that Donald Trump cares about his country or the problems of average Americans is more than laughable, it's ludicrous. We're all just rubes in his sick game, and Trump preys on the gullible. It's what's bailed him out all his life—his ability to sell people myths and establish elaborate cons based on his own supposed genius and infallibility. Newsweek
Trump could be the most successful con artist in American history
If he pulls this off, former President Trump will have earned his place as the most successful con artist in political history.

Christie calls Trump a ‘con artist’ amid legal battles: He’s ‘grifting off these people’
You really need to have people who are donating $10, $20, $50 to your campaign, pay for your high priced lawyers for indictments that you’ve all put on yourself by paying off a porn star by holding back classified documents, despite the fact that they’ve been asked for voluntarily for 18 months?” Christie said in an interview on CNN. “I mean, this is ridiculous. And he is using these people in a way that I don’t think that they completely know about.”
“People are giving to him and because they think it’s going to help him get reelected president when all he’s doing is grifting off these people,” he continued. “He is a con artist, who is conning them out of their money, pretending he wants to be their president. Well, what he wants is a free ride for the legal defense he’s getting for the criminal charges he personally faces.” The Hill, by Chris Christie, former Trump advisor and former Governor of New Jersey
Trump Media is ‘a scam’ and people buying its stock are ‘dopes,’ Barry Diller says
“I mean, it’s ridiculous,” Diller said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” when asked about Trump Media. “The company has no revenue.”
“It’s a scam, just like everything he’s ever been involved in is some sort of con,” he said of Trump. CNBC, by Barry Diller, Businessman
At some point in our lives, many of us have succumbed to these types of lies but we stop when the scam becomes evident. For some reason, Trump followers have ignored the repeated publicity over the past 8 years about the myriad Trump scams. Are they afraid to admit their mistakes? Are they brainwashed by right wing media? Are they not paying attention? Is there something about him that they admire so much that they are willing to ignore his lies? Are they afraid Trump will take vengeance against them or be disappointed in them?
‘He only cares about himself’: Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director, on why former Trump officials are backing Harris.
David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker, says Trump Is a cruel, anti-democratic man who only cares about himself.
Trump’s Hurricane Conspiracies Prove He Only Cares About Himself. Donald Trump started his hurricane disinformation campaign to hurt Kamala Harris. Instead, his supporters are struggling. The New Republic
Where is the evidence that Trump cares about anybody but himself, his family and others like him? In my life as a business owner, physician, attorney, political activist and nonprofit founder, I have never met anyone who responds to national or world tragedies by ignoring the victims and talking only about themselves. This is who Trump has been all of his life, but this year, he has gotten much worse.
If Trump followers cannot recognize his scams, which have been widely publicized, they will likely suffer from other scammers and liars who are not so obvious.
