The Con Man

The United States needs a con man hall of fame.  It could have a section for car salesmen, aluminum siding salesmen, and even one for vacuum cleaner salesmen like Kadizzle once was.  Conning idiots is an America tradition.  In the old gold mining days the most money was made from selling stock in non-existent mines.  Crooked preacher are about the most successful con men and a large part of the Con Men hall of fame should be devoted to those crooks.  Who else gets to steal tax free?  The drug companies are moving right up. The Oxycontin con made 14 billion for the Sackler family. 

Now we need a statue out front of the Con Man hall of fame.  You guessed it Donald Trump.  At a minimum the Donald will Con the American public out of 1.5 trillion witch will go to the rich. The Donald just so happens to be the rich. 

It would be nice if South Dakota could have a Mount Con More.   Carved out of greed there could be a giant stature of Trump,  a famous crooked preacher,  and maybe a Wall Street guy.  A Con Man is special. Anyone can walk in a bank with a gun, but a consummate liar like Trump who can smile and lie is something special.  In North Dakota we have Kevin Cramer, a mini Con Man aspiring to be Trump.  Smile, lie, tell the Hooplehads what they want to hear.  Promise them guns, and Jesus.  Explain to the Hoopeheads if they give the rich enough money some is bound to fall out of their pocket and right back on the simple minded.

Look back at Al Capone.  Sure he was a bad guy, but at least he made beer available to the working class.  None of the famous crooks of the past remotely compare to Trump.  Trump openly brags about groping women and the Christians giggle with delight and elect him.  According to The New York Times Trump lies on average five times per day.   Even the most crooked preacher has a hard time beating that.  Trump gets Kadizzles vote for best Con Man ever.  Hitler might have given him a run, but keep in mind Hitler had a bunch of depressed people to work with.  Trump is fooling stupid people, but they have a car, a big screen TV, and plenty to eat.  Religion was the original con, but Trump gets a prize for conning the religious.  Now that is an accomplishment.  That is like the guy who robs the drug dealer.
