When Stephenee Simms heard in 2006 that Donald Trump was building condo towers in Baja, the lure of a posh weekend getaway on the rustic coast just south of Tijuana was hard to resist.

Simms, then an aerospace purchasing agent living in Canoga Park, said she used her life savings to pay a deposit of just over $50,000 for unit No. 602, a one-bedroom overlooking the Pacific....

It featured Trump, shown smiling in a French gold-leaf chair, telling readers that no words or pictures “can possibly describe what is about to take shape here, but it is certainly going to be the most spectacular place in all of Mexico.”

In the end, nothing at all was built at Trump Ocean Resort, and Simms lost her money. As did about 250 other buyers, most of them from Southern California.

Wait a minute. Trump? Mexico? Didn't he at least build a wall?

1. Nothing says scam like a French gold leaf chair.

There was a program on one of the Christian networks I would hit while channel surfing.

The scammer ..I mean preacher sat in one and begged for money to buy a new satellite so they could beam their message across the globe.

Everytime I see Trump Monkey sitting in one I think of that preacher.
