    He doesn't really have to push folks to buy it. His followers have already been programed to purchase anything whether merch or financial products associated with the great man. Like the "students" of Trump University they're eventually going to discover that they've been scammed. Maybe it's just me but I think crypto is a bubble that will eventually burst and Trump's meme coin will probably follow a trajectory like the shares of Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts stock.

    By the way while the stock tanked screwing its gullible shareholders Trump paid himself between an estimated $40 million to $80 million in total compensation as CEO of the company.

    I don’t consider Trumps actions as presidential. Selling bitcoin, sneakers, etc.. seems… mypillow guy ish.
    You may disagree and that’s fine…I just find it embarrassing for the leader of the free world to be selling such trivial things.

    This is what America wants. A fat stupid con artist. Don’t ask me why but nothing to do but accept it. I look forward to some entertaining tweets and stupidity for 4 years. I hope Donald gets as much money from his fans as he can pry away.

    Grifting and governing--both start with "G". Better make room at Mount Rushmore.

    I don’t agree that creating a multi billion dollar meme coin is trivial. But yeah, agree to disagree.

    If you're an incompetent failure as a businessman, and only made money by cheating on your taxes, chiseling your suppliers, putting your lenders over a barrel, and robbing your companies as they go bankrupt, then the main goal of any con, including becoming the president of the United States, is to make money. Whether the money-making scheme is trivial or not is irrelevant. The main thing to remember is that it is more important than making sure your hair-brained schemes for running the country actually work. Becoming one of the mega-billionaires is the goal, not helping the "marks" or the country. Propaganda will take care of any shortcomings in that department.

    Praising Trump because he is profiting from a meme coin is like praising him for being an educational innovator because he founded a college that was supposedly educating Americans on how to be successful real estate investors. In case anyone may have forgotten:
    Judge finalizes $25 million settlement for 'victims of Donald Trump's fraudulent university'
    Trump's meme coin will be another one of his cons. It will probably enrich him by hundreds of millions of dollars while leaving his supporters who thought it was a good investment holding the bag after the bubble bursts possibly with a loss of their life savings.

    As always, with any purchase, caveat emptor let the buyer beware.

    Most of us in the non-billionaire class have better ways to spend our money.

    When you have fans begging for anything Trump why not give them what they want. If you’re dumb enough to buy Trump stuff more power to you if that’s what makes you happy.

    Since the election Facebook market place has lots of Trump stuff to choose from. Some of it is so ridiculous (my opinion) it makes me laugh.

    Some of it would make a nice Gag gift for a liberal friend.

    The problem is on the other side. You've got a president who can be directly bought. If dummies want to spend their money on Trump merch so be it. They're dummies. But the president of our country is for sale. That's the actual problemm same way foreign countries bought out hotel rooms in his spots last go round

    I'm not an expert in crypto but my understanding is the ownership of this coin is untraceable. So whoever pushed this to 31 billion dollars we will never know. It could be literally anyone on planet earth that wants Trump to do them a favor

    Do you think Putin keeps his in cold storage or does he have a personal crypto minister who handles it all?

    The Trump team dropped a Melania meme coin today as well. In case more people needed to buy influence in our govt. What a joke MAGA is.

    I didnt think it was possible that someone less reputable than the Hawk Tuah girl could launch a meme coin

    So your saying that your Crypto.com account buy history shows a rather large purchase of $Trump?
