    I wonder if the other 3 make fun of him because he only has 1.3 billion. Loser.

    Been reading the last 4 pages.
    Corruption is not specific to Republicans.
    Not all dems are straight and narrow as the same goes for Republicans.

    They all live a much different life than us.

    Difference being while theres corrupt democracts like nancy pelosi none of them have as much power as Trump. Trump is literally scamming people out of billions of dollars by launching fake meme coins and teling people the meme coins are going to be the next digital dollar and they HAVE to buy it

    I never said you were a Trump cultist wtf are you talking about. I said you were a crypto guy and you have a bias towards crypto. Ive been holding bitcoin since 2018 so its dumb of you to claim I dont know crypto. No reason to attack me personally when I havnt said **** to you

    Again. You are saying all meme coins are a pump and dump cuz you are smart and understand the industry. Eric Trump is telling people the TRUMP coin is going be the next big thing in finance and its the future of digital money. Hes leading on a bunch of low iq boomers with lies to steal them from their money. Hes taking money from his ordinary MAGA boomers who dont know any better but trust Trump cuz hes the president. Its ****ed up

    Its insane how you are so blind to the corruption. If Trump and company werent pitching the coin as the next big thing and kept it to crypto boys then i would agree its not a big deal. The issue i have is when they market the coin as the next big digital currency that everyone is going to be using when they know its a pump and dump.

    I'm not defending him.
    But I suspect it's not low iq uneducated folks purchasing it like many have insinuated.
    I don't think johny coal miner is buying this stuff.
    I could be wrong.
    I don't do crypto.
    It scares me.
    I'm 401k and deferred comp.
    But I'm 57 so I'm more traditional

    Hes sending mass text messages/emails to anyone who sent him donations during the 2024 campaign which includes millions of working class people. If the crypto meme coin wasnt being marketed to every day working class people then I wouldn't have an issue with that. Plumbers and every day people are 10000% buying the coin and holding without knowing it'll dump

    Eric trump is literally sending MAGA text messages, "the future of finance is here! buy the next digital dollar TRUMP coin with your debit card today!"

    As ****ed up as Nancy pelosi is (shes a crook) she steals money from wall street (im not justifying pelosi at all). Trumps fraud is taking money from working class supporters who dont know any better but trust Trump cuz hes POTUS

    I will do something many on here will not.
    I admit I don't know shite about Crypto.
    Who knows maybe they get scammed, maybe they make some sweet cash.
    I guess I will sit back and see how it plays out.
    Again I don't support any public official having a side hustle that involves investments.

    Thanks for your input on this matter.

    Yea, I never understood crypto. I am the same age and I have my 401K and Savings and to be frank the crypto thing scares me.............in hindsight when it first became a "thing" I wish I had bought some because the return looks out of this world. I even see some crypto machines at a 7-11 and have no clue why anyone would go there to buy it

    Got my only dose of fledgling crypto by watching Big Bang Theory when they mined for it.

    Most of those crypto machines are people wanting to cash out their bitcoin for cash. I have quite a few friends that own them and it's a very lucrative business. They charge 10% flat for a withdrawal and make a killing

    Meme coins are not made to hold on too. Its a quick get rich scheme and the entire crypto industry understands that. The issue here is trump texting his illiterate base and telling them the coin is the "future of finance" and sending them a link to buy it with their debt card

    Trump doesn't tell them that he owns 80% of the supply which means the price is inflated bcz the circulating supply is so small. It's literally a pump and dump

    Not a crypto guy, I just threw some money in when Trump won the election and got a good return out of it. Nothing more.

    Why do you need to label people to win arguments?

    to quote Yogi Berra, it's deja vu all over again!


    Trump 2.0 to make "massive" infrastructure announcement, White House says


    lest we forget,

    The Republican president's 2016 campaign promise for a $1 trillion infrastructure package during his first term from 2017-2021 never materialized.

    .​
    His Democratic successor, Joe Biden, signed a $1 trillion infrastructure bill into law in his first year in office, 2021, in a bipartisan achievement that his administration said
    had launched 40,000 projects.​

    So just to keep track on things that happened yesterday - feel free to add more

    • Trump pardoned the January 6th terrorists

    • Trump rescinded an Executive Order that was intended to lower prescription drug costs

    • Trump rescinded an Executive Order intended to protect us from A.I. manipulation

    • Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute and the media and MAGAs have defended it as being a "Roman salute"

    • Trump has declared only two genders exist, completely discounting the various cultures, languages, and science that contradict that

    • Trump pulled us out of the World Health Organization (the WHO)...again

    • Trump pulled us out of the Paris Accords...again

    • Trump is beginning his crusade to end birthright citizenship which, as of right now, is completely unconstitutional - but who knows with this Supreme Court

    • Trump has now called the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America and this has been backed up by Governor DeSantis
    • Trump also called for mobilizing to conduct ICE raids first starting in Chicago
