    They've told us what the next Trumpy scam will be, so get your wallets out, MAGA-world!

    Some enterprising pre-scammers even got in ahead of the scam to perform a scam of their own!! Weird how this family attracts such a collection of criminals and grifters. When I first saw this, I was sure Steve Bannon must be behind it.



    Crypto scammers pull in $155 million on latest Trump coin rumors


    A cryptocurrency called Restore the Republic (RTR) has witnessed a dramatic rise and fall, despite trading for less than a day, due to confusion over its origin. When the token emerged on the Solana blockchain Thursday, it was quickly associated with former president Donald Trump's son Eric Trump, who had posted on X earlier in the week: "fallen in love with Crypto / DeFi. Stay tuned for a big announcement.”

    Donald Jr., always the voice of reason, is advocating caution- he's clearly worried about potential risks to investors. And anyone ELSE profiting from this grift besides his shady family. :)

    In an interview shared on X, his brother Donald Trump Jr. addressed the confusion: “I love memecoins and that culture. I love what those guys are doing… But I just have to make sure that people understand that you can't conflate one thing with another.” He urged speculators not to associate any token with the family “unless you hear it directly from us.”

    That's my dead uncle. I'm my dead son.

    Also, how does it feel to slavishly support a family of grifters?

    Oh my.

    “I’m my dead son” is like that movie you like but can’t admit it to anyone.

    That was even more unkind than the negative ratings you put on each of my posts.

    If Trump told you he invented cryptocurrency you’d believe him and you’d tell us we have TDS for calling bullshit.

    I'm hoping that after Trump is flushed down the commode of history, people like you will stop posting basically nothing but "Na na liberals!"

    I guess we'll see.

    Trump loves him some Crypto. So easy to accept bribes.

    Yep, surprised it took him so long to get on board. Guess he was just holding out for the right info/incentive. :cool:
