Scalpers Stuck With Worthless Tickets To Trump Inauguration (VIDEO)

According to Donald Trump, the upcoming inauguration is going to be “beautiful” and “elegant.” He can’t even believe how huge its going to be.

Unfortunately for the fools who thought they could hitch a ride on the Trumpster money train, the truth is a little different.

As the President-elect himself might tweet, inauguration prediction by Trump team, WRONG!

The New York Post reports that a lot of would-be entrepreneurs bought tickets to the upcoming festivities in the mistaken belief that a ticket to the presidential inauguration would in demand.

The joke’s on them.

People like Yossi Rosenberg of Manhattan decided to cash in on the election, in spite of the fact that he was a Hillary voter.

Not surprisingly, he wanted at least one good thing to come out of what many people feel is the most disastrous election of our lifetimes.

Rosenberg bought a pair of the tickets for the big show. He paid (gulp) $700 dollars for the two. He thought that he’d be able to sell them for twice that.

Alas, the rest of the country is less gullible than Mr. Rosenberg.

As he put it:

“Nobody wants to buy them. It looks like I’m stuck with them, I might even have to go.”

Knowing that it would a punishment worse than death to actually sit there in real life watching as the lying narcissist takes the oath of office, he tried to sell the tickets through Facebook and Craigslist.

Although some people expressed interest in the tickets before he bought them, nobody is interested now.

Rosenberg tried selling the tickets on some white supremacist websites. He even tried the Daily Stormera disgusting neo-Nazi website. Even the worst of the worst won’t pay what he’s asking.

It’s too bad that Rosenberg didn’t check the polls before he shelled out the cash.

More than half the country has a negative opinion of Donald Trump. Those are some of the worst numbers in U.S. history.

While it’s too bad that Mr. Rosenberg is out a bunch of money, it’s somewhat reassuring to see that so few Americans want to sit through Donald Trump’s inauguration.
