'Buyer beware': What scammers and Trump have in common

^{Published on 2025-03-26 08:21:03 - Alternet}

During his first term, President Donald Trump was very skeptical of cryptocurrencies. But these days, Trump
like many of his tech bro allies
is an enthusiastic cheerleader for crypto technology. In an article published on March 26,

The article from MSN discusses the similarities between Donald Trump's tactics and those used by scammers, as outlined by journalist Adam Serwer in The Atlantic. Serwer argues that Trump employs a strategy akin to that of con artists, where he makes grandiose promises and claims without any intention or ability to fulfill them. This approach, according to Serwer, is not about policy or governance but about creating a narrative that resonates with his supporters, much like scammers who promise wealth or solutions to problems they can't actually solve. Trump's method involves presenting himself as a victim of a corrupt system, thereby deflecting criticism and maintaining support by suggesting that any failure to deliver is due to external forces rather than his own shortcomings. This tactic not only keeps his base loyal but also mirrors the psychological manipulation used by scammers to keep their victims engaged and hopeful.
