He trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did.

I'm not making these people do these things. Call Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne, who got the donkey of the day today? Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, December 19th, goes to a man named Justin Ray Donaldson of Anderson County, South Carolina. Salute to everyone from my home state of South Carolina. Drop on the clues, bombs for South Carolina.

I'll be down there to borrow for the grand opening of Crystal and Orangeburg. Ribbon cutting is at 10.45 a.m. All the festivities will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. My guy DJ Frosty will be providing the soundtrack, so I'll see y'all tomorrow at Crystal in Orangeburg, 1486 Chestnut Street. But right now we're talking about Anderson County, and there are some nefarious things that play in Anderson County,

simply because scammers come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, okay? Scamming has no color. Scamming has no color. Scamming has no sexuality. Scamming has no religion. A wham-bam-thank-you scam can happen at any moment, and that's why you always got to have your guards up because folks is always trying to get over them. And that's exactly what happened with Justin Ray Donaldson. See, he is now in jail for scamming senior citizens.

The man befriended a 73-year-old woman, diabolical. This woman probably wanted a friend so bad because all her other friends probably dead. So he established a relationship. Nothing freaky. Okay. He wasn't into, you know, uh, gerentifolia. I think that's what they call it, gerentifolia. That's an attraction to elderly ass. Okay. He wasn't into that. His role was similar to that of a grandson and this woman's husband died. So he was in a, she was in a very vulnerable state and Justin saw the opening and slid in for the scam. Let's go to NBC News for the report, please.

An Anderson County man is under arrest after a deputy said he scammed a recent widow into believing she had dementia. Deputies say 35-year-old Justin Donaldson established a grandson-like relationship with a 73-year-old woman at a senior living facility. According to deputies after the woman's husband died, Donaldson convinced her to make him her power of attorney.

Officials say the woman reported fraud this month. Donaldson is charged with breach of trust. Now I'm not sure how dementia works. Okay. I'm not sure how dementia works in any way, shape or form. I have no idea if people with dementia, even though they got dementia. So I don't even know how you can be convinced that you have dementia. Now, what I don't understand is this woman has daughters,

according to the news report, okay? Who are her power of attorneys? If this elderly woman went and told people, hey, I wanna remove my daughter's power of attorney over her affairs, wouldn't somebody call my daughters as power of attorney over her affairs. Wouldn't somebody call the daughters? Then the daughters can intervene and say, who the hell is Justin Ray Donaldson? They're just going to allow this man to come in, have her remove her daughters as power of attorney, and he's just easily able to secure the woman's trust and access

to her bank accounts. I don't get it. He instructed her to take out a home equity loan for home repairs but instead went out and bought a 2015 Chevy Tahoe for himself. Now I know dementia causes a decline in someone's mental abilities but this woman was able to understand everything Justin Ray Donelson was telling her to do. She had enough cognitive abilities to know to take her daughters off the power of attorney. She had enough cognitive abilities to put everything in this man's name, but she didn't understand that she was getting scammed. Once again, I don't know anything about dementia.

Of course I have had people in my family who have had it, but hey, do they know they got it? And can somebody just diagnose and convince you that you have it? Because that's what happened in this case. I guess now that I think about it, if someone is telling me I got dementia and I can't remember ever having dementia, then maybe I did forget that I got dementia.

I don't know. I just know it's a special place reserved in hell for someone like Justin Ray Donaldson. I don't know why we take advantage of elderly people. That's like taking advantage of kids. Okay, we act like we don't have grandparents. Okay, great grandparents. Older parents. Hell, we act like we not going to be old one day.

Respect your elders. Okay, learn from the people who walked the path before you, respect them because someday sooner than you could ever imagine, you're gonna be an elder too, if you're blessed. Please let Remy Ma give Justin Ray Donaldson the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw, you stupid motherf*****, are you dumb? How do you convince somebody they got dementia? That's crazy. I don't know That's crazy. My grandmother be trying to convince us she ain't got it You know when you so she's aware she has it She's aware she has dementia some people yeah

Definitely know what they got. What do you mean? I don't know about the Alzheimer's people but yeah my grandmother knew she got dementia cuz Gears mother didn't she might see a dimension that she got it But she definitely got it. No Gears mother didn't she didn't know she had no clue like she was everything was regular So if there was a story she would tell the story over and over and over again And she thought she was telling it for the first time she had no clue Yeah, that's how it goes But like did y'all ever tell did she tell her mother that she has it cuz you she didn't remember she got it Yeah, she didn't remember. Okay. okay well my grandmother is gonna get to that point but it's still kind of
