I don't know any. Maybe I just have a better social circle than most. Or maybe this is a fake number. There are not as many people preordering this clearly fake device, instead this is just another way to launder money.

This is very subjective. You can have your own opinions, but its really important to remember everybody has a right to their own too.

I didn’t see anything in his post saying people shouldn’t have the right to associate with trash.

We also all have the right to judge people for their associations. You’re right to an action or belief doesn’t make it inherently good, or even equal to other actions and beliefs.

The fact you are randomly calling people trash supports your theory!

Getting scammed is objectively bad. If you're surrounded with people who are routinely getting scammed by Donald Trump of all people, that's bad. That doesn't mean they're bad people but... something is going on there for sure.

Perhaps you have no relatives.
