Mike Lindell Calls Fans Impatient for Trump Reinstatement 'Bots and Trolls'

Daily Beast

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s own supporters are growing increasingly restless awaiting Donald Trump’s reinstatement as president, as an endless stream of self-imposed deadlines touted by the pillow executive has come and gone. On his Thursday evening live stream, Lindell railed against “bots” and “trolls” that have been posing questions and statements on his Facebook page, such as: “Mike, you keep making promises. I don’t see Donald Trump.” Then, referring to his own fans growing impatient with his own fruitless promises, Lindell fired back: “Those are bots and trolls. Any real person out there would know we are doing everything we can!” Lindell’s supporters have also become increasingly vocal on his Telegram over the yet to occur Trump reinstatement, which was initially slated for August. ‘They [the bots and trolls] attack, it’s relentless,” he noted. Lindell didn’t return The Daily Beast’s request for comment on Thursday night.

4. Hey Mike, sounds like your mouth's been writing checks your ass can't cash

But sure, you're doing everything you can: Making and breaking bogus predictions, setting deadlines for things that are never going to happen, promising your gullible marks ridiculous claims. Now you're all mad because your stupid pronouncements have come back to bite you in the ass. I'd offer a bit of free advice, but I know you're incapable of shutting up, so I won't waste the time.

But I also imagine that he'll be taking his last breath of life and saying..."it'll happen in two weeks."

There's a wonderful post about how IQ45 has 'fleeced' the US (Hey, didn't we warn everybody?) and continues to do so:

So here's my question: What is 'The Pillow Guy' doing? Is he making money out of this nonsense, or is he such a rock-head that he's blowing his own money in defense of a Con-Master?

Really - what-the-hell is going on here? You know SOMEBODY is making money on this scam - but who?

There's shadows paying for all this.
Crackhead Mikey doesn't have this kind of money.
He had about 80% of equity in a $150 million company with $123 million in debt.
He had at most, $30 million. And, his company's cash flow has been in tank for nearly a year. So, he's not making any new money.
He's a crazy frontman & the cash has to be coming from those for whom the goals are more important than return on investment.
He simply doesn't have the resources to sustain it, and there's no profit in the endeavor.
It's somebody's version of a loss leader.

hoping that if they send $5 more tRump will be reinstated. They are both playing the rubes for all they can.
