t's at it again, from begging the minions to pay for a new plane, to repeating the old grift from before: hey, all you little people, pay money for the chance to win dinner with me, hotel, transport and food free
only... there was another "administerial error"
did anyone (other than the gullible rubes entering his contest, all fired up to meet their hero) imagine t would actually deign to dine with one of the unwashed masses he so despises?

“President Trump has awarded more than 100 prizes to contest winners across America, but due to an administrative error in this individual circumstance, the contest winner was not properly notified for last weekend’s event in New Orleans,” Taylor Budowich told the Post. “Consistent with the rules of the sweepstakes, a substitute prize will be awarded to the winner.”

The Post‘s story echoes a 2019 report by Popular Information which found that Trump’s campaign held at least 15 online contests for a chance to win a meal with him — but no one appeared to have actually done so. (Trump’s communications director claimed then that “people win the contests each time,” yet didn’t offer proof.)
Trump shady fundraising tactics don’t end there. Trump and the Republican Party were forced to refund millions of dollars they acquired last year through deceptive email blasts, specifically by having donors unwittingly opt in to recurring payments. The recurring donation box was pre-checked earlier this week, as well, when Save America PAC solicited supporters to fund a new private plane for the former president.
