New "pump-n-dump" scheme to fleece his flock. Dollars to doughnuts "Leon" is also knuckle deep into this too.

Just another way for foreign countries to legally fund his campaign without limits. There are only so many sneakers they can "buy" before it starts to look too obvious what's going on.

While eventually all Trump ventures fail some have enough money to keep going for quite a while - be careful that you don't overleverage yourself and get forced to take on debt because it didn't fail fast enough.

Sure PGA, let’s get you to bed.

I'm a Republican who does His Own Research and I'm buying Trump Crypto AGAIN after I lost THOUSANDS on his Last One! But this one is Different because Trump went on TV and Told Me and if you hear it on TV it's TRUE unless it's from the FAKE NEWS Which AOL is!

Let’s combine some of these grifts, how about each coin being minted with a number seared on a trump steak, which you must eat in order to be accepted to trump university.

mcdonald's burger, not steak

So greasy you feel your heart aged another ten years and you are just a half way through it.

Wait why is he trying to "leave the outdated big banks behind"? I thought conservatives liked big business. If they don't then can we leave the outdated big oil companies behind? Or are they special? Or is it banks specifically they don't like?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Money laundering is probably easier with crypto than with banks. Or he knows that his accomplices at Deutsche Bank are flipping on him.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

It's banks specifically that he doesn't like, because they stopped lending to him after his ventures had one too many bankruptcies.

But then he learned he didn't need banks' money anymore, when he could just run for office and have people give him money out of their own pocket.

Along with the bibles, the steaks, the bogus university, the bogus charity... he's really trying to win the scam decathlon.

Don't forget the shoes

Yeah… stick with the NFTs - at least there is a “product”.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A crypto coin and an NFT are literally the same thing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

There's a difference in how they're regulated. NFT's are not classified as investment vehicles, so the SEC doesn't care about them.

Don't you mean yuge embarrassment?

I'm sorry, aol.com? What millennium is this?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

One where I couldn't find another story that contained enough necessary information.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Always a nice nostalgia trip when aol or msn links show up lol

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Didn't he already unveil some tRumpcoin in the past?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Another day another way for him to make a fool of himself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Trump is far from a successful business man. Is Dumb and Dumber's hands, this should be a real shit show
