Its fucken poetic that his presidency launched with a shit coin he used to rugpull almost a million people. Fucking idiotic ass timeline.
Remember the last time he rug pulled a million people? It was during COVID and the rug was their lives. While other countries saw a fraction of the death relative to populations.
I don’t think it could be any more American
It’s not a pump-n-dump this time. In my opinion, it’s a laundered bribe. The 800k victims were an unintended benefit.
Definitely this was a way for offshore third parties to give Trump money. Gotta say this is my least favourite use of crypto, but it is also the most valuable use case (for corrupt politicians).
It can easily be both.
The pump would be the bribe and the dump is them cashing out. Same thing with a bunch of suckers floating the value.
Damn, where did I put that violin. It’s so small, I think I might have lost it…
The tardigrade is lending you his.
A fool and his money are easily parted.
And yet somehow Elon and Trump are super rich.
When you have that much money and power, the only people that fail are the ones at the bottom of your trash heap built on the lies that brought you riches.
A lot of people never outgrew the schoolyard king-of-the-hill game, and still play it like they’re children.

Coffeezilla on the subject. I guess Trump is running with the ‘if the president does it, it isn’t illegal.’
I remember hearing about some dude putting his grandfather’s inheritance on this poopcoin. Wonder how he’s doing
Wife divorced him over it, IIRC
Maybe his grandfather will pass before he needs it.
There’s a German saying for that:
Tja.
Also: schadenfreude
In the region of Albacete (Spain) we have a similar word… and no, it’s not related to the video game giant:
Ea.
jep
Indeed.
Time Until Trump Leaves Office
3 YEARS : 11 MONTHS : 10 DAYS : 22 HOURS : 11 MINUTES : 23 SECONDS
Half a day since my last check. This is going to be a long slog.
Until trump is supposed to leave office
The previous insurrection was practice.
They’re not the only ones who can learn from it.
Boy that’s a pretty big assumption there.
If he lives that long.
Lame Duck Trump has already been classified as the worst president in US history.

Why would Trump even need a coin? SCOTUS and court cases have shown he literally could break any law and get away with it.
Like the laws against making and promoting scam coins like this.
Because he wants to steal more money and this is an easy way to do so for someone who doesn’t need to obey any laws
He’s been gradually ramping up the severity of his crimes for decades. He’s still doing it, and won’t stop until we stop him. I don’t know if there’s a ceiling, but I’m certain his gang doesn’t think there is.
Ah, meme coins-the financial equivalent of betting your life savings on a Magic 8-Ball. How poetic that the same crowd screaming “drain the swamp” now drowns in a crypto septic tank. $2 billion evaporated? That’s just the market’s way of Darwin-awarding fiscal literacy.
Trump-branded anything is a loyalty test, not an investment. Imagine clutching a digital token of a man who’d sell your kidneys for a Fox News soundbite. The grift’s the point-watching rubes conflate memes with merit. Never change, cultists.
Edit: no more bold, geez! I got it
Oh no. The thing everyone said would happen has happened.
Btw, only idiots put money in that currency thinking it was an investment. The true purpose of that currency was to disguise bribes.
You’re supposed to lose your money. That’s the business.
Good
2 billion dollars / 800,000 people gives an average of 2,500 dollars per person. I’m going to venture a guess based on vibes that this was a more or less normal distribution and the median loss is close to the average loss. That’s not YUGE per person, but it would still chap my ass real good.
I imagine a lot of this is coming off the back of individuals/corporations/nations seeking influence over Trump; especially when you consider that something like 80-90% of initial tokens were owned by Trump and insiders.
A couple hundred million dollars is a small amount to pay for the leverage it could provide. I honestly think a large number of the biggest bagholders would be linked to the Saudi’s and Musk.
