How does one get to the point where literally their entire existence revolves a conman, grifter, liar, and now convicted felon?
Probably for them, it’s not unlike being a professional Star Trek fan. They get to travel around the country and meet people, make some money, and have a few interesting stories to tell. Owning the libs is a bonus.
Let me put it this way.
Name me a fandom besides MAGoos that wouldn’t find it offensive and I’ll change it.
That logical, right?
The Trump Merch Grift Bus is pure carny bullshit. These folks are taking advantage of a popular sales trend and they put too many eggs in one basket, then dropped the basket. 3 years ago, they’d be shilling for bitcoin. 30 years ago, they’d be selling beanie babies. 200 years ago, they’d be selling tulips.
The conman is just the face you put on your bus full of cheap plastic crap sold at 100x markups. And you get to this point because its an ostensibly quick way to turn a few thousand bucks into a few hundred thousand.
She added that only recently it became eligible to be fully insured, less than 48 hours before the incident.
That’s quite the coincidence…
In many states, driving a vehicle uninsured is a crime. They’re admitting they’ve been committing this crime for quite awhile?
Also, most people driving buses require a CDL (Commercial Drivers License). Is this one of those vehicles? Do they have the proper license?
Now, the duo has no clue what the future holds for them.
Its a good thing their candidate supports a strong social safety net, so they can still know their basic needs are taken car of, right? Right?!
For now, the flag and Trump merchandise sales are on hold, as the duo plans to ask for donations to repair the vehicle.
So they’re supporters of Socialism now? Where are their bootstraps in times like this?
Fully insured. They likely had liability but couldn’t get full coverage, which is perfectly legal.
It’s hard for me not to go off on speculation like this. Bunch of random assumptions for no reason. You can look up the requirements. For my state it’s a weight/passenger limit.

The mandatory insurance tends to be liability insurance, for injuries. Insurance may not be mandatory on the cost of the vehicle itself. It would not surprise me if their insurer didn’t want to write a collision policy until some time had passed. (Particularly since they also seem to be living in it, I’m sure that has an affect on insurance.)
Do they have the proper license?
It’s not out of the realm of possibility that one of them had a CDL, there are all sorts of jobs that require them and the company would pay for the training. Heck, my local school district is always trying to find more bus drivers, they would pay for the CDL if you agreed to drive a bus full of snotnosed middle schoolers every day
most people driving buses require a CDL
RVs do not require a CDL and this bus was being used as one. CDLs are required, generally, when hauling more than 15 passengers or using a heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.
heavy vehicle for commercial purposes.
They were transporting and selling merchandise out of it. I bet they wrote its expenses off their taxes. Sounds commercial to me.

In many states (mine included), you don’t technically need insurance. You have to show proof of financial responsibility, and that only has to meet some surprisingly low standards. IIRC, you only have to prove you can pay for $7,500 in damages. Or if you meet certain other criteria, you can self-insure.
"For now, the flag and Trump merchandise sales are on hold, as the duo plans to ask for donations to repair the vehicle.
“Just like that, we’re homeless,” sighed Grenata."
I’m sure the Donald will get right on that for them…
Also… you can buy a bus for $15,000?
the duo plans to ask for donations to repair the vehicle.
That doesn’t sound very bootstrappy. In fact, it sounds downright socialist.
A few years ago I was looking into buying a old bus and building a eurocruiser out of it. Had plans for putting a sauna in the back lol… anyway, you could get a volvo or a scania bus from the 1980s or early 1990s for a few thousand euros. Those things will have a million billion kilometers on the dial but they will do another million quite easily if needed.
Asking for Help is SOCIALIST! These people are COMMIES! REAL Trump Supporters would be FINE! TRUMP will PERSONALLY PAY THEM money so they can continue going! I’m a Republican and I think ALL THESE THINGS at the SAME TIME because I Think for Myself!
“She added that only recently it became eligible to be fully insured, less than 48 hours before the incident.”
Oh, so this is a scam to get insurance and go fund me money.
