This is always common. Do a huge preorder and then delay. Given how high interest rates are, this is profitable.

Not so common, any other president pulling that shit pretty much anywhere in the world would instantly lose all credibility and most likely would have to resign. But then again this dude shits himself on live TV and shilled cans of beans from the oval office

They will just rag pull it. Its not like anyone cares over the USA right? $TRUMP? $MELANIE? TACO?

It's amazing what Trump can continue to get away with and still have many followers.

Yes, IIRC this is not the first time this happened. I think it happened with his watch too. Remember the saying: "Fool me once shame ..."

It's normal for grifters to preselect their demographic.

At this point the "faithful" have fully signed up for the cult. While rest of world looks on in horror, the scamming and extraction will only intensify.
