Donald Trump’s latest con

Voters beware. Abortion is at the top of the heap in terms of issues that will decide this election. The Republicans know it. Even Donald Trump’s pint-sized brain gas assimilated that information. So now they’re trying to trick voters.

This new and not improved strategy on the part of the GOP is making its presence known — through television. Before I get into the weeds on this subject, let me first explain WHAT it is the GOP is doing.

I’d compare it to the fine print in a contract. Let’s say MAGAS are signing a contract that states you one of them will receive five thousand dollars if their name is chosen as the lucky winner of a “Meet Donald Trump” contest.

Now, this contract might fill A Maga with glee. But what might be lurking below is the fine print—very, very small print—tiny print, deliberately formatted to stop some from actually reading it.

The fine print says: ‘You will get to meet Trump if he happens to be in your town that day and if he’s feeling up to meeting you.’

This is called a con – a hoax – a scam. It is exactly what Republicans are doing with their talk on abortion. No, they exclaim angrily; of course, we won’t put in place a national abortion ban—not NOW, anyway. Ah, that one word. Did you see it, my friends? That word is — “now.”

See, words like the fine print in contracts, must sometimes be carefully listened to, in order see the scam in all its inglorious dishonesty. Take Mike Johnson, for example. He was on Sunday’s Meet the Press, and when Welker asked him about voting on a national abortion ban, he said, of course, that’d be hard to do — right now.

Now is the GOP’s sneaky little scam. NOW is not forever, not by a long shot. Now could mean — today. It could mean this hour or two hours. What it does NOT do is answer the question of — whether the GOP would vote for a national abortion ban.

JD Vance is doing the same thing: “Something that’s off the table now.” Ah, there you see it! For the GOP, “now” is the word that they invoke when asked a question such as this, hoping they’re playing you, the voter, hoping people do not see nor pick up on their com, hoping that they do not get called out like this writer is calling them out right now.

So beware, voters! Beware of ” Now.” Because the GOP’s “now” means nothing. It is an empty word, a balloon with no air in it, a weasel word, lying in plain sight, just another GOP con job that the American people are most definitely NOT falling for.
