I can use my degree from Trump University and make a boatload of money
Isn’t it weird that he waited this long…?
Right?! The perfect con for people who’ve been living under a rock for the last 3 years!
they must really think so little of their supporters
Accurate assessment from what I’ve seen.
New grift same grifter
This feels like a scam just like those Elon Musk crypto scams you see everywhere.
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.
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.
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?
But if you lose money you’ve effectively funded the maga cult!
Looking at Truth Social, there’s not even much of a pump phase before the whole thing self dumps.

“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”.
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.
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
That’ll do as well as a coin called truthsocial.
Goddamn it would be so fucking easy to scam maga shitheads if I didn’t have morals
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.
Right? I’d just sell them N-Word Passes and claim “Naw bro, Trump signed them and everything, these are real.”
What could go wrong…
