Other concerning scam items is that a subscriber to another Substack said he had received solicitations from Trump to buy Trump AR-15s and ammo.

He worries that Trump is arming his constituency. A The Bulwark article also discussed how Trump can use these fundraisers to get around campaign financing laws and sell influence. He looked at the watch scheme. The high end watch is $100,000. However, if a Saudi wants to buy 100 or 1000 or a million of them, that is cash for influence to Trump, but it is not illegal. There need to be laws to make these loopholes illegal. Also, using Bitcoin will make everything untraceable. Between his endless crimes and his disinformation campaign, and his hold of air-headed Christian Nationalists in Congress, Trump is destroying the USA without even winning.

Wow! This is frightening stuff. More so than usual Trump nonsense.

Our democracy isn't being destroyed by Trump, he is simply the tool of the Republican Party.

I am going to disagree. While it might be a two-way street, it seems to me that the Republican Party is a tool of Trump. That is what happened with the National Socialist Party and Hitler too, as well as the elites who supported him. They thought he would be their useful idiot, but it was the other way around. Either way, they are gunning for turning the US into a Christian Nationalist Theocracy if we don't make sure he does not win.

And in turn, Trump is the tool of the oligarchs, both foreign and domestic. Yes, this is HItler 2.0, but on a vastly larger scale. It is becoming evident that Trump is irrelevant or soon will be. His removal will not end the global conquest. Each 'leader' will become irrelevant in turn. Chucky Vance is chomping at the bit to have his turn, and given Thiel's support he will probably get it. Until he also becomes irrelevant. And so on.

Yes, this is what I'm starting to see and hesitate to voice my concerns, or ask pointed questions, because I don't know who's watching on these platforms.

Obviously we're being 'watched'. If you hear that knock on the door, let us know on Substack before you open it. We'll try to find you. But there's time, the camps haven't been constructed yet. Or have they? Musk would know.

Trump is an oligarch.

And closer to our time, it hasn't exactly turned out well for Putin's oligarchs either. Do what I say or you too will end up imprisoned, poisoned, hanged or mysteriouly falling out of sixth floor windows! Berezovsky and Khodorkhovsky amoung others.

They have always been on this path, but more carefully. Trump blew the governor off the throttle, and they're like, "Wheeeeee!!!! Here we goooooo!!!!!!" Case in point, the crocodile concern after Trump's Jan. 6 behavior, but upon seeing he would skate away, they were all like, "Go Trump!."

I looked up "Trump Rifle" and up came Comnander in Chief Rifle.

I am speechless.

Yes. Agreed it is sick. Trump is so over the top that he is leaving the other fascists in the dust. As I said, a Substack commenter said he has been getting ads for it. I have not, so I guess I am gratefully not looking at the right websites to be solicited with such a deal.
