    PT Barnum was an amateur compared to this guy when it comes to parting fools from their money.

    Should trump be re-elected this crypto will provide a HUGE and all but untraceable vehicle for public graft, money laundering, and violations of the emoluments clause. This is the intent in my view.

    He will probably follow Eric and Don, Jr. into the Trump crime family business.

    It's hard to fathom how ignorant that man is.

    Literally, he would be less qualified to be President, by comparison, than about 95% of posters on this board. 98% if we remove duplicate accounts who are posing as dead relatives.

    If you want a real laugh, the way they say this is going to work is that they will sell their crypto token, then the token will be digitally locked and can never be sold again ... i.e., it will have $0.0000000 resale value forever, and only Trump will make money off the initial sale.

    He says the token will represent "voting rights" in how the company is managed. But the kicker is, Trump and his "insiders" say they will keep 70% of the tokens for themselves, therefore your vote won't matter ... not that it ever would have.

    So you think it's a good thing that Trump wastes a significant amount of time during an election year trying to find ways to cash in on his fame? You think the job of president is so easy for Trump that finding new product lines to hawk so he can cash in on them should be his top priority? Shouldn't he spend a little more time working on his "concept of a plan"? Or does that not matter? Will it be another "Who knew health care could be so complicated?"

    In the area of personal growth, you have to ask whether or not Trump has grown from the self-absorbed failure of a businessman who covered the top of his work desk with articles about himself. A Trump nut would say "YES! His desk is much bigger now!"

    You're right... he should just start a war and send billions of taxpayer dollars over there just to have it laundered back into his Swiss account.

    I never said anything about starting a war. I said he should work on his presidential policies so he doesn't have to look like a moron in a debate and say he has a concept of a plan. If you are inferring that Biden is sending billions of dollars to Ukraine, you are mistaken. Virtually all of the aid to Ukraine is arriving in the form of weapons and ammunition. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share it with us. Otherwise, you are just repeating Kremlin lies. Your reading comprehension is not so good. Did you remember to zip up at the public restroom?

    You mean like the wall he built on the Mexican border? He actually built a fence (not a wall) for 2.5% of the length of the border, in an area that already had a fence. Or do you not know the difference between a fence and a wall, and not understand how doing 2.5% of a job is not the same as doing 100% of a job? Do you think the Mexicans are deterred by the Trump fence? And how much of the fence was paid for by Mexico? Wasn't it 0.0%? You do know the difference between 0.0% and 100%, don't you?

    Or are you drinking the Kool-Aid that foreign countries are paying the tariffs that he put on their country (without raising the prices of the goods)?

    And tell me again what kind of health care legislation that Trump got enacted?

    What exactly was Trump doing in between his golf games? Did he have a single policy that actually worked?

    His poorer rube supporters are tapped out from monthly contributions to his defense fund. His richer rubes got shafted on Truth Social stock.

    How many times can he go to the well to soak these idiots?

    Trumps administration accomplished NOTHING, and we should all be thankful for that. There were zero legislative accomplishment except the Tax cut which slightly juiced the economy at the expense of further increasing the deficit (doubling the deficit he inherited, in fact). That’s it. That was Trump administrations legacy.

    Well that and ending over 200 years legacy of peaceful transfers of power in the worlds oldest democracy.

    Good god, what a horrible implementation of crypto. No utility, no current or future value, no potential for growth. Only a pure moron would be ok with that.

    So I expect MAGA cult members will pour what little left they have into it.

    It's really the ultimate pushback for anything Trump related. They had two years of absolute control of every aspect of the government and accomplished nothing. No border. No healthcare. No spending cuts. NOTHING

    Come on now.

    He also "stole" $35 billion from the military budget to install something like 35 miles of wall which was easily defeated by a $100 sawsall from Lowes. I mean that has to be a lasting legacy.

    This is the quote I saw ... sounds like a shitty "investment" ...

    "WLFI will be non-transferable and won't provide any economic rights, the team said on the stream. They said they only want token buyers who are seeking to be participants in governance, not those after an economic return."
