"I WILL NOT LET THE RADICAL DEMOCRATS WIN," the email stated.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me, right?
That's the mood on Twitter, where people are convinced that Trump's most ardent fans either won't realize or care that they're being duped.

Social media tore into Trump's secretive finances.
Where does his money come from, and how much does he have? No one knows.
