That’ll do as well as a coin called truthsocial.

What could go wrong…
That guy has been milking every cow on the planet, you gotta appreciate the efforts. I’m just surprised there’s no NFT collection out there, that’d be befitting of a supreme con artist.
Probably because he already did an nft collection apparently, according to the article.
They’re just as ridiculous and overpriced as you’d think.
Wow those are terrible
Now this is just comedy-level grifting. This can’t be real life, this has got to be a simulator to find the stupid ones
After Trump’s NFT and silly sneakers, this just seems par for the course.
Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he’s got to grift as much as possible while he can.
I wonder how the ethics here work. If I enter the pump phase, leave before the dump, I’m effectively stealing money from the MAGA cult. Is that a good deed?
Looking at Truth Social, there’s not even much of a pump phase before the whole thing self dumps.
https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/djt looks a bit pumpy
But if you lose money you’ve effectively funded the maga cult!
Next test of the cult… are you fucking people actually about to line up to trust your financial future to dumb dumb eric trump and sniff sniff don Jr?
Personally I hope so. They’re burning the world, it’ll at least be fun to watch them flounder in the process.
Except the Trumps get rich off of it. I don’t know if the stupid people losing out so the rich assholes can gain is ideal for me. I’d rather the stupid people keep their money.
New grift same grifter
It is a significant departure from Trump’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies during his stint in the White House when he called bitcoin a scam.
Is it a departure? Trump running a scam seems perfectly in line with his previous stance.
ikr as if scamming isn’t his favorite pastime
People are presuming he used the word “scam” as most people do - with negative connotations - when, Trump being Trump it’s likely that the only negative thing he sees in a “scam” is him not making money from it.
He got paid by crypto bros, now he is pro crypto.
He was anti-EV until Elon paid him to care.
If he gets elected Putin will pay him to pull US support from Ukraine.
That’s how he works
Goddamn it would be so fucking easy to scam maga shitheads if I didn’t have morals
Right? I’d just sell them N-Word Passes and claim “Naw bro, Trump signed them and everything, these are real.”
Hell, I think my biggest problem is I can’t think of anything dumb enough before they’ve already got it
I used to think I was a pessimist. But now after multiple “There’s no way people are that dumb” and being wrong I must be an absolute optimist.
“I think there has been a lot of inequality in that only certain people can get financing […] so this notion of decentralized finance is obviously very appealing to guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said in the interview on Locals.
Ha. “I’m toxic to banks so we are going to try and grift our idiot followers” is fun.
So is he trying to say that he wants to build a crowd source lending institution that uses crypto? Or is this a Mt. Gox situation where they get people to buy their fake coins (a really good look for a son of a former President) and then are “hacked” and think nobody will be able to trace the coins back to them? And you know the whole reason they want to go crypto is so they can do money laundering/bribes and be “untraceable”.
Trump pump and dump.
Trump pump and dump.
Stormy Daniels approves this comment.
Trump Chump Pump n’ Dump
“… guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said
I had to look up “debanked”. Admitting to it has to be the financial equivalent of telling people you are a registered sex offender.
What he means is he’s trying to funnel his wealth into assets that aren’t regulated and may be difficult to seize.
You know, to hide his money from the victims that he owes hundreds of millions to for his criminal behavior.
No no no, he didn’t say “debanked” he said “Deutsch Banked.” As in, “I’m such a liability that the only financial institution that will work with me is shady Russian money laundering Deutsch Bank.”
So he did NFTs and his own coin, but where’s his Metaverse tho? His grifting is lacking.
