GRIFTER
A person who operates a side show at a circus (freaks inside) especially a gambling attracion
A SWINDLER DISHONEST GAMBLER OR THE LIKE
Of course being as how culthead dumb don is the BIGGEST GRIFTER OF ALL it makes sense for him to surround himself with others of his ilk. Who is the target?
Look in the mirror m'dear. We the people of course. You didn't know? Sure. Right. You betcha.
Ever see the movie THE GRIFTERS? It did not end well.
