You have to have something they want. Either a really good con, like… an idea to convert public schools to prisons, or something. They’re not just going to give you money just because you kiss their asses; they have a shitload of authentic rabid fanatics.

But if you think you’ve got a good con, do it for the cause, not because it’ll embarrass them. If you could somehow embarrassed Trump, you could find yourself with new lodging at Guantanamo, and good luck getting anyone in the lethal system to successfully get you out.

Neither of them are “givers”. They’re both con men themselves, so I think trying to bilk them is going to be challenging.
