Some Guy Raised A Million Dollars By Telling People He Could Get Them A Dinner With Donald Trump Despite Not Knowing Donald Trump
LN- A Maryland man is offering contest participants a chance to have dinner with Donald Trump. Or is he? 25-year-old Ian Hawes of Maryland set up dinnerwithtrump.org, a site that at first glance looks an awful lot like a Trump campaign page, until you read the fine print. The homepage tells visitors to “Enter for a chance for you and a guest to have dinner with Donald Trump.The flight, food & stay are on us.” It allows people to enter their name, email address, and zip code. Upon doing so, the next page says that people can double their chances of winning by donating, giving options for people to give different amounts. Hawes’ organization, American Horizons PAC, took out ads on Facebook to promote the site, according to a Politico report, drawing social media users to the site. They reportedly raised more than $1 million. But the small print on the bottom of the site tells people what they’re actually getting, and it’s not a private dinner with the Republican Presidential nominee. “Prize is for winner & guest to attend a Donald Trump fundraising event with other attendees,”
Donald Trump needs to embrace this kid and he most likely will. Hell, this Ian Hawes kid might be Trump’s next campaign manager for all we know. The way he made that million dollars seems like something straight out of a Trump University class. It’s easy. You tell people you’re organizing a free contest and the winner gets to have dinner with (fill in blank) famous person. BUT THEN you tell the people that they can increase their chances of winning by donating sums of money. The key, though, is to put in the fine print that you’re completely lying, you can’t get a meeting with Donald Trump and you don’t even know the guy. Is that fraud? Yeah it is. It’s pretty much the definition of it but you gotta respect the kid for tricking the dumbasses who wanna have dinner with Donald Trump and are willing to pay money just for a chance. I never condone scammers but if you’re paying money just for a chance to have dinner with Donald Trump you kind of deserve to be scammed right?
The article says one lady paid $265 to have dinner with Trump. Do you know what kind of one-person dinner you can have for $265? The best dinner of your goddamn life. That’ll pay for your favorite Chinese food dish 50 times over. And the best part is you don’t have to have dinner with Donald Trump.
