Why? Even a single sucker falling for his scam is a win for him and in the world we live in, a sucker is pretty much guaranteed to fall for his grift. Then you get to trump and gang and remeber that there's plenty of suckers to go around.

It's wild how many times Trump went back to donors. With Trump University and all his other scams, he had to offer a product or service. He realized that in politics, he didn't have to do that, he could just collect donations. He inspired a whole industry of conservative grifters.

Perhaps a short term win, but it hardly will be one once he inevitably gets served with Wire Fraud charges again for this new scam, and gets a prison sentence much longer than his previous offense because he no longer is a first time offender.
