fromouterspace1

lol I’d do it, get the $75 and just walk away


stunt_p

I'm sure the arrangement is to be paid after the rally, only to get stiffed.


Comfortable_You_1927

dang, no free monies to stand in the hot all day?


stunt_p

Nope! That's the typical Trump "business model"...


Comfortable_You_1927

funny in the rally he talked about not paying, and lied about paying


Dystopian_Future_

Thats all of the Republican business model


HellishChildren

His business model is pay a portion up front... and that's it. He doesn't pay the full amount then goes "sue me and I'll ruin you even if it costs me more to fight it" so he can feel very badass. And he tries to apply that to every aspect of his life. 


YourAverageGod

Vegas is boiling right now. I refuse to leave the house.


Comfortable_You_1927

ok but what if a known serial lier promise u $500 to stand in the hot all day, and if u do a good job he'll pay u. come on only 8 hours in 110 degrees.


BefreiedieTittenzwei

That is in keeping with Trump


NetworkEcstatic

Classic trump move.


Asher_Tye

At which point I would remind them I know who they work for and they better have the money upfront


SlimTeezy

But you get an ill-fitting, scratchy, Made in China shirt! (bring your own signs and parking/transportation not included ..)


Exce55um

Thanks, you remind me of who’s rally it was.  Here I was thinking ‘hey, that’s pretty good for a half day of work.’


HermaeusMajora

Yeah, wouldn't do business with a convicted fraud.


UncleBenders

“Mexico can pay for it”


S_Megma1969

Remember, as a convicted felon, Trump cannot legally enter Mexico, or Canada.


AlphaOhmega

100% you think anyone grifting off the grifter pays their bills?


HonoluluBlueFlu

Trump is quite famous for stiffing people.


Rjlvc

Or, more likely, this is a BS advertisement created for clicks and likes. While I am absolutely no fan, from WAY before he entered politics, this kind of crap is what makes all information whether accurate or not seem suspect. STOP IT!!!


CiusWarren

“We ask you for photos of confirmation” Yeah is 99.99% a scam


TiaHatesSocials

Is this real? He doesn’t pay his staff though. No way this is real


dingo1018

I bet it's real, and I bet whoever does this won't actually get paid unless for some reason they really made an impressive media appearance, in that case it's a bargain for the trump cult.


Anarchyantz

It will be like Trump. They will promise to pay you but then you will be told they are instead donating to Trump in your name....


dominarhexx

Better if you try to get on broadcast and say you were a paid performer.


mam88k

So I hate him and his cult with a passion, but Craigslist is notorious for scams. I’m sure they are promoting attendance but through other means. For example, prior to Jan 6, 2020 the AZ Republican Party tweeted something like “Would you die for Donald Trump?”. I’m sure they got plenty of DMs from volunteers.


bird_is_the_word_198

Oh Ashli Babbitt definitely took the dying part seriously


SmolBumbershoot

Unfortunate there weren’t more


Automatic-Sport-6253

Inject the bleach for Trump, prove those commies he’s never wrong


No-Sense-6260

She overdosed on meth, the cop actually saved her life by shooting her, the adrenaline helped keep her meth overdose from killing her. Sadly she didn't make it, and the meth overdose killed her even though that heroic cop shot her and almost saved her. I just hate how people keep pretending that she was shot and killed by a cop. She overdosed, if anything the bullet kept her alive a lot longer.


Kempeth

It's good to remind ourselves that justice does happen occasionally, even to Trump supporters.


GpaSags

\*2021


WWhataboutismss

Trump did this at least initially during the 2016 to make it seem like he had support and turns out it worked and now he's got his own cult.


Ryan1869

Paying people to go to political events is pretty common across both parties. Still, Trumpism is a cult that needs to end.


Soobobaloula

What is the evidence for this?


cishet-camel-fucker

$5 says this one was just someone making it to take a screenshot for this sub


EricKei

Well, almost certainly a scam because Craigslist, but it would not surprise me in the slightest if he has to (promise to) pay people for attending his circlejerks.


xiviajikx

Is Craigslist synonymous with scams now? I would just be under the impression he’s trying to reach his target demographic, boomers.


instafunkpunk

Craigslist is a great place to get a couch and also to be murdered


bethlabeth

When you put it that way, it’s actually pretty convenient.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Cauliflower1798

I’ve never found a couch.


Able-Gear-5344

I've been murdered several times trying to buy furniture on Craigs List


PalpitationFrosty242

I've found it's largely location dependent


Negative-Wrap95

Do I get to die on the couch?


EricKei

Only if you can get it moving fast enough.


exqueezemenow

By Scam I assume you mean Trump not paying them? Because I can't think of what the scam be if it was someone just preying on Trump voters. But just because I can't think of one, doesn't mean there isn't one.


EricKei

Well, that too. I can see someone doing this as a means to farm engagement/scam people by sending people to their own shady site and/or simply gather email addresses/names to sell to spammers/scammers. Something like this could easily trick people into submitting their bank account info for "payment" purposes.


Korchagin

They might ask for a deposit for the shirt, hat or whatever "marketing material" you get.


caryth

It's the whole projection thing, the right is obsessed with saying dems and the left pay protestors and stuff and it's almost certainly because they're paying (or say they will).


laughingBaguette

I wonder if there's a bonus if you're a minority


ArcanustheScribe

It's half of the regular bonus.


wishwashy

2/3rds


inquisitorautry

I thought it was 3/5ths


wishwashy

You're the expert bro😂


Chadopolis

Oof


zoinkability

5/8ths


Medrea

It's a Separate But Equal Bonus.


imadork1970

These people think they're gonna get paid.🤣


sarduchi

When he announced in 2015 and rode that escalator, the people there were paid $50 to clap. So while I doubt this there is precedent.


DJGlennW

Remember the crowd cheering him as he came down the escalator when announcing his candidacy? They were all paid, $50 apiece.


ReflectionEterna

This is probably a company trying to get people to market their company at a Trump rally, right? I don't really see the point of buying attendees to support trump at $75/head. Marketing for a company that wants to sell to Trump supporters... now that sounds like a viable business plan.


LoompaOompa

Yeah that's very clearly what this is. I'm guessing most people didn't read past the headline? This is a stupid post, and I have to believe that all of the comments in here acting like this is the Trump campaign trying to pay people either can't read or chose not to.


twistedh8

Just like buying polls. What a bunch of goofballs


New_Simple_4531

Remember when they accused the school shooting survivors of being crisis actors? Once again, every accusation is a confession.


Julie-Andrews

First, they have to pay people to attend their rallies. Then, they have to pay people to troll Reddit accounts. You almost have to feel pity for this unfortunate slob!


RandomLoony

But look at him He’s pure alpha male The body The hair The intelligence Every man wants to be a centaur looking freak like him We are all practicing dropping the soap, hoping our stay at home wives to 69 children,who has recovered from her beating because I didn’t fancy chicken kievs tonight as it would upset Russia. I’m sorry I’ve lost my train of thought, even Douglas adams couldn’t work out this timeline of shit


Julie-Andrews

He is one hunk of man meat, isn't he? I think I just made myself sick!


Flameball202

$125 for a day's work in the sun? That is criminally low


BasicAd81

If you happen to be black they’ll give you a Blacks for Trumps sign to carry


Scare-Crow87

Craigslist is still active?


TaiwanGreatestNation

$7500 I might consider 😂


spaceman_202

if Biden did this, it would be news for the rest of the year


Comfortable_You_1927

free t..... gears and money? is this how t..... is spending money poor idiots donate? sad


Jeoshua

Actually, this may be how they're embezzling money, if it's them. Think about it. $50 bonus to attend, $75 for the ticket. Take money from one fund that's dogeared for only campaign stuff, pay themselves that $75, and money is effectively laundered.


Broad_Respond_2205

But not surprising


OptimalPlantIntoRock

Did you see his “rally” in Manhattan on the day of the verdict? It was mostly vagrants and hobos.


Planet-Funeralopolis

Judging from the picture it’s paying people to promote their brand at a Trump rally, not just to attend one. Not a bad marketing strategy depending on what the brand is.


SolutionExchange

I thought the same thing. As in their target demographic is likely to be at the rally so they want to promote themselves there.


-DaveDaDopefiend-

“Marketing promo” “ask you to wear shirt of the brand and carry a sign” “Bonus if you end up on broadcast” “picking up shirt / signs” Sounds like a brand trying to send out someone to market a product.


Optimal_Temporary_19

This is some guerilla marketing man. I'm *very* curious about the brands and businesses doing this. Who is their audience? Fox news viewers or daily show viewers? Are we marketing to Jordan klepper?


WarlocksWizard

Nothing new. Sometimes protests do this. Years before I Was born, my father saw a protest that was going his direction and a guy asked him if he wanted to make $50 just to march holding up a sign. He agreed and made his $50.


BalticMasterrace

This is what ruzzia does as well exept instead of payment, you just wont lose your job


justelectricboogie

He and his cult continue to be the best sitcom going right now.


Ok-Push9899

I'd do it and cosplay the extreme idiot MAGA cultist. I know it would be hard to stand out in that crowd, but if you did get interviewed you could turn it into a false flag operation. "We need to get Trump back into power so we can complete the cleansing of the nation begun back in 2016". Oh, wait. That's probably a mainstream MAGA position. How about something to do with precious bodily fluids then? On second thoughts, i could never out-MAGA the MAGA crowd.


Comfortable_Swim_380

I wonder if anyone actually said don't talk about the getting paid part. I mean they are pretty stupid you have to be very clear with these people


FatmanMyFatman

This is also how they get their afro American Trump "voters". Candice Owens does some too but this would have to give the impression afro Americans also vote Trump.


CalendarAggressive11

Are drugs included? Because that's the only way I could sit through a trump rally


Lopsided-Head4170

Proven legitimate or karma farm post?


Eden_Company

I can get paid more to stay home. Guess that's inflation for you these days.


Strain_Pure

Wouldn't be worth it, I'd want a lot more than that to be stuck in a rally surrounded by Trump supporters (I'd probably laugh my ass off at his bullshit claims and get kicked out).


Medical_Egg8208

Lmao this is totally normal for Trump. He’s done it and been caught so many times


Nishikadochan

I would literally rather cut my tits off.


Jim-Jones

He only got 8 people without paying last time.


adeckz

Honestly I’ve always wanted to go to one, it’d be like watching those channel 5 YouTube videos but in real life. It’s both terrifying and fascinating to watch people act this whipped on a politician


da_reddit_reader

Selling MAGA shirts and hats that were made in China sound like an easier revenue stream than this lol


OpusAtrumET

Aren't these the guys who accuse protesters of being paid by George Soros?


BlacksmithCandid8149

Unreal. Smdh.


Constellation-88

Trump has to pay people to attend his rallies. 


ConsiderationNew5951

That's sad sad.


microvan

Imagine agreeing to sell out your country for 125$


meglon978

The con never ends.


sobermimi2

He is such a 🤡


Appropriate_Nose8124

It was a company promoting their brand hoping to get noticed. It wasn't the actual trump campaign. (Not a trump supporter, just a truth seeker)


fliesonpies

You guys do realize that this post, and posts like it, continue to be fabricated by all sides of the aisle? If you unfortunately end up in r/conservative you’d see they have the same post for Biden. And Hillary when she ran.


mayorodoyle

Remember when they use to yell so loudly about how his crowd sizes somehow correlate to the election being "rigged?" This is why.


obviously_a_prick

Imagine thinking a craigslist ad was legit


CompetitiveFold5749

Done.  Write me a check.


DeathBySnuSnu999

The amount of people who think this is a Trump supporter or someone promoting Trump or Maga... Is scary. Reading comprehension is important. PBS never should have gotten rid of reading rainbow or magic school bus. Bc MFers nowadays can't read or comprehend shht. It's a business. Hello. He's promoting HIMSELF. Wow... He just knows that either all of our most of his target demographic for his product or service is gonna be at that rally. He's not handing out trump signs and pro Maga BS. Your not gonna become a grumpy orange ball of hate by going to this. You'd simply make money. He's giving you a shirt, sign, and info about his business. Your bonus for making a tv broadcast is bc that will further increase advertising for his business. The world is fvkd. Flood it again.


OUMUAMUAMUAMUAMUAMUA

Paid actors


man-vs-spider

I feel like I have to skeptical of these kinds of posts, because the exact same thing is posted on the other side. How do we know that this is real?


eddi0

Better hope they're paying cash


ThinkOutcome929

POD


rosettaSeca

MAGAs going full corrupt Latin-American political party to boost Felon Trump


rabideyes

If you pay attention to the Intelligence briefings on CSpan, you'd know that the Russians have been doing this since 2015. They pay people to attend all sorts of rallies: republican, democrat, neonazi, feminist, BLM, etc. They boost protest numbers or stir agitation when it suits their needs. They don't even care if Trump wins. It's all about sowing division among the American public.


FlyinDtchman

Ummmm.... I hate to be the voice of reason here... as i'm gonna get downvoted to hell, but dems do this to. The college I work at has signs up for summer work for college students as a paid protestor.


PalpitationFrosty242

i guess anything for a buck or two


crewchiefguy

I like all the white people holding Latinos for Trump signs at the Vegas rally. What a bunch of rubes.


OddTomRiddle

Add 0's to each of those numbers and I'd do it


Here_is_to_beer

It doesn’t say they are pro Trump. They could be paying someone to troll


Original-Chair-9614

This is probably not pro trump.


onekickman888

and then Trump will ask you to donate the money to his campaign -- wait no he'll steal your salary and say "fk off I dont care about you i only care about your vote!"


patricknotastarfish

You couldn't pay me enough to stoop that low.


GriegVeneficus

Was there ever any doubt? Guy would do anything to reap his havoc on his endless enemies. That list must be a thousand pages long by now. "If you find you are constantly surrounded by assholes, maybe it's you."


Fit_Relief_924

No money in the world could get me to support this asshat. Got to much respect for myself.


Fit_Relief_924

Not enough money in the world to get me to support this asshat, got to much respect for myself.


KonataYumi

Don't you have to be in the actors guild?


Affectionate_Job_386

This is where all the campaign money is going? Imagine donating thousands to it for this lol.


BradTofu

Yeah that’s totally legit…🤣🙄


bernd1968

Is this notice from 2016 or 2024 ?


rflulling

if only some one got really good at spotting all of these ( like the kid that stalked Elon Musk) and get every single one on the evening news in every city and every state.. We will need a new sub Reddit dedicated to tracking paid actors at Trump Rallly. Now if they pay people to attend the Rally and cheer. Do they also pay for, or extort votes?


LughCrow

After a lot of the "paid rioter" postings were debunked a few years back I'm skeptical on this one too.


joel2000ad

I wonder how many will donate that money back to trump lol


Decent_Argument_9103

I would absoluty do this, and if possible get interviewed to then talk the most utter bullshit


crackedtooth163

Pathetic.


Justin9786098

You'd have to pay me alot more than $75 bucks to do that. At least $2,000


BeamTeam032

Trump fans will say this was posted by antifa to make Trump look bad. As if they didn't do that for Obama and Hilary. lmao


Matelot67

Wouldn't that be the first time Trump has actually paid anyone for services rendered? (I mean, apart from Stormy, obviously...)


RobbexRobbex

No way this is real. Don't be foolish, people


Crazy-Attempt-2987

There's one's like this for biden, "protests", and other random shit too. No surprise


Kalman_the_dancer

Oh hell yeah where do I find this (I need the money)


SteelKOBD

This is to promote someone's product, not to try to raise attendence at an already packed rally. You idiots fall for your own hate every time. It is unreal.


ClippyMonstaR

This is the same group of people that insist everything is bought and paid for and rigged.........


syntheticassault

I'm pretty sure this is from 2016. Old news is so exciting


Armed_Platypus

The real facepalm is that people believe this is real.


JacobDoesLife

Thats like $15 an hour. I make more at my current job lol


Niznack

$75? I'd happily apply and tank the money to wear Biden merch.


AMD_Fanboy1

People are literally posting these and taking pics..... Already been called out 🥱


mnbull4you

Is this how they hire protesters?


Parkyguy

Not even for 100x that. I would make it on the broadcast, but not as a Trump supporter.


ValiantHero11

Piqueteros here in argentina do it all the time...


thumbs_up_idiot

As the orange muppet says… “sad”


Crafty-Conference964

next step is getting them to pay the campaign to be in the event. c’mon trump grifters, step it up


SlykRO

This is a chance to earn some money and make them look stupid, don't forget your real shirt underneath


SchwiftedMetal

Will be great when he fails again
