<snip>
You give the Donald your urine and a stack of money? Thats what he wanted, in exchange for a customized vitamin regimen that a Harvard doctor deems a scam.
Call it Vitamin T. For several years in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Donald Trump encouraged people to take part in a pseudo-scientific vitamin schemeall without expressing any concern about how it might potentially endanger peoples health.
Through a multi-level marketing project called The Trump Network, the business mogul encouraged people to take an expensive urine test, which would then be used to personally tailor a pricey monthly concoction of vitaminssomething a Harvard doctor told The Daily Beast was a straight-up scam.
And when The Daily Beast asked a doctor for The Trump Network to defend the products, he wound up deriding the idea of evidence-based medicine.
The Trump Network ultimately failed, and its assets were sold off. But it was not just a marketing and business disasterthe actions of the all-but-certain GOP presidential nominee reflect his willingness to license his name to a product without fully vetting it: a casual endorsement of a serious matter, all with the flitting nonchalance that characterizes the many falsehoods he utters.

And I keep wondering how in the hell there are enough total dumbasses in this country for him to have gotten as far as he has.
It's hilarious and terrifying all at the same time.
