It's unfortunate that scammers will rely on the gullibility of Trump supporters. But the actual Trump has fooled millions of people into thinking he cares about this country and its citizens. So it's not surprising that vulnerable people would fall for it. I do hope "Suzanne's" mother will stop what she's doing. I don't even care if she sees Trump for the morally bankrupt, personality disordered, greedy POS he is. I just hope she stops spending her time and money on scammers.

Thank you for your work, April. It's very important. I mention your podcast a lot. I'm a vehement anti MLM/scam/cult/high control group advocate, and I consider your resource an important one. Take care.
