Me too. This isn't even political to me, this is psychological. A whole new world of how to deal with the public and media.

It's blown my mind.

Same here. I keep thinking that there must be a way to legally take advantage of people that will easily believe Trump's lies. There just have to be a way, anybody have any good startup ideas? I'm not joking. Half the country is willing to elect Trump. I'm sure there is a market there.

Have you considered the opposite? That perchance, Trump supporters may not be all the bad stuff some folks believe them to be.

And that you are being a sheep and taken advantage off, by smart Trump supporters?

Just asking.

It's already happening. There are gigantic businesses that don't manufacture or really do anything - they just encourage their users to post pictures and videos of their cats and their meals, all the while spying on their habits and likes, in order to facilitate other businesses tricking them into buying their products.

These guys are smart though. They don't just target Trump supporters.

Regardless of one's political leanings, earnestly encouraging taking financial advantage of people one believes to be gullible is highly unethical, even if it is legal.

How about Televangelism or Multi-Level Marketing?
