Donald loves nicknames, the shorter and easier to remember, the better. “Don the Con” is both. Everyone is using it now and you should too. There is no more Trump. There is only “Don the Con”.
Authenticity is how Trump convinces people to believe him and trust he can shake things up. You know who else is authentic? Con men. They know exactly how to convince you they are authentic. They have an answer for everything and change positions on a dime. The art of the deal is the con.
The first use of the phrase I found is a ‘Topic Idea’ posted on the user forum for John Oliver’s show:

Commoners! I know all about this tactic that's used against powerless/moneyless individuals. One of my relatives is in same kind of business that Don the Con is in and it's a dirty business, let me tell you. If they want your property for their purpose/cause then you either take the money that is offered freely or be forced to leave the property with a lesser payment thru the judicial system. Either way, you will lose at the end against the big corporations or US Government.
Three months later Noel Hucks created the first #DonTheCon hashtag and the rest is history:
NOTE: The People Magazine quote shown above is fake, but Noel is still the first to use the hashtag.
Now the power is in your hands. Go forth and spread the word. If the media can hammer into our heads that we support “Crooked Hillary” and “Crazy Bernie” we can define him as “Don the Con” too.
