As many here have pointed out, including Panda, it's revolting how much grifting is going on from the Trumper marks (and in some cases, Democrats too like on elections that were super long-shots at best).
We have wildly creative thinkers and specialists in data, legal, accounting, taxes, marketing, promotion, web design, security, and more.
So here's the question: What 501(c)(3) can we create that's totally legal, but allows us to get a piece of the hundreds of millions (literally, see DL2XIT after the election) of funds from the marks?
Trumpers are far easier to grift, a few flags and nasty language and they're in. For example, someone gets fired or shut down for breaking laws like that dude in Canada:
Of course, from Taitz to Klayman, those were peanut grifts. The Fogbow is much more clever, we should be at Adamson BBQ or We Build The Wall levels.Adamson BBQ Legal Defence Fund

So it could be a project we're raising money for (which we could actually do) like "Build A Sign Near Mar-A-Lago That Scrolls All of President T**** Accomplishments With a Countdown Clock to Inauguration 2025". That sounds like at least a $100,000 project.
There was the former data guy, Matt Braynard for T**** who raised over $200,000 for some bullsh*t "research" that was totally bogus but he kept the money. In this case, GoFundMe shut him down but he went to GiveSendGo or something. That's a mistake for us to be sure to avoid, we should probably use GiveSendGo:

Matt Braynard, an early staffer in the 2016 Trump campaign, said he needed thousands of dollars to finance an investigation into unspecified voter fraud.

GoFundMe took down a conservative operative’s fundraising page on Friday, asserting that it was spreading misinformation about the 2020 election. Matt Braynard, who was an early staffer on the data team for the 2016 Trump campaign, set up the page to finance an investigation into voter fraud. He claimed on Twitter that he had data on absentee ballots and early voters in a number of key swing states and wanted to run them against Social Security and change-of-address databases to determine illegitimate votes.
Comparing the databases would require thousands of dollars, he claimed in a series of tweets on Thursday. He turned to GoFundMe after being unable to get support from the Republican Party or President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign. But GoFundMe removed the page the following day, saying that it violated the site’s terms of service and that it “attempts to spread misleading information about the election and has been removed from the platform.”
State election officials have repeatedly rejected that there was any mass voter fraud in the 2020 election, and numerous studies show voter fraud to be exceedingly rare in the U.S. There has been no evidence of major hacking into voting infrastructure, and the election has, by and large, gone smoothly. But as Trump’s lead in critical swing states slowly slipped from his grasp, the president has been spreading conspiracy theories that fraudulent votes were being dumped to take away his reelection. These claims have no basis in evidence; the evolving numbers in key states reflect the unprecedented number of absentee ballots sent in amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Braynard claims that he raised $220,000 when his page was taken down. A GoFundMe spokesperson told POLITICO that all the money was returned to donors. Braynard started a new fundraising campaign on another crowdsourcing site shortly after. “But we won’t be stopped; please give even more on our new Croud Sourcing page,” he tweeted.

The Fogbow Project definitely will need social media presence, but that's easy, with the right message they'll make the posts go viral.
It could be a "Virtual Tribute to President T****" -- It would be a beautiful virtual building and supporters could "buy" parts of it. If it was a Virtual White House, we could sell the Oval Office, Residence, other offices... it could even be an eBay type bidding war. Then the "original" Virtual White House would be presented to T**** in Bedminister.
Can't remember how much they made on those "virtual bricks" for The Wall but it was quite a bit.
We could also try a currency play; some tiny nation is planning to change all their banknotes to have the Disgraced Loser on them, so they will SOAR in value! (perhaps) So buy these banknotes NOW to get an INCREDIBLE return any day now! (perhaps)
See the potential here? OK, so what ideas do you all have for this lucrative project?*
We had a lot of laughs thinking these up.
* Again, this is for fun, and it's more of a weekend topic. But hell if we come up with a good one that is honest, legal, has actual deliverables, and can make us all some money, why not? Kidding around.
