    Is anyone other than me bothered by this?

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/us/politics/trump-meme-coin-crypto.html

    President-elect Donald J. Trump and his family on Friday started selling a cryptocurrency token featuring an image of Mr. Trump drawn from the July assassination attempt,

    and

    Disclosed just days before his second inauguration, the venture is the latest in a series of moves by Mr. Trump that blur the line between his government role and the continued effort by his family to profit from his power and global fame.

    What do President Trump and the Hauk Tauy girl have in common? 🙄

              That's one unfunny meme.

              I was only joking

                    I heard about it today and had the same reaction. An almost hard-to-describe annoyance at the degradation Trump has brought to the office. I know... Clinton got BJs and Biden was a propped up corpse, but Trump has almost made it numb to think about what it was like before him. A multiple-bankrupt celebrity, caught on tape joking about sexually assaulting women, commits adultery, found liable for sexual assault, fires FBI directors, has like 75% of his previous staff voting against his re-election, guilty of felonies, making fun of the disabled, pretending to care about the Bible for a photo op, mishandling classified information, guilty of fraud, two impeachments, responsible for multiple people going to jail or going bankrupt or dying, launching meme coins right before he takes the oath again. I mean wtf.

                      President Trump at a pre inauguration speech

                      “As of today, TikTok is back,” Trump said. “So, you know, I did a little TikTok thing. We have a guy...he’s a young kid, like 21 years old, and we hired this guy, and I went on Tiktok. Can you believe what I’ll do to win an election?”

                      “So whether you like Tiktok or not, we’re going to make a lot of money,” he added.

                        The TRUMP coin I believe has already lost 50% of it's value from the initial price high.

                          That's Ok. Doesn't Trump have 80% of the value?

                              Earlier today, the president’s daughter Ivanka warned her social media followers not to fall for a scam crypto coin called $IVANKA that, she said, “is being promoted without my consent or approval.”

                              I would love to hear someone articulate why it would be any less of a scam if she were the one promoting it.

                              Maybe a better way to phrase it would have been ‘this is someone else scamming you, not me’.

                                  Also, do you think Barron was named after the Robber Baron? Sure would make sense.

                                    More likely there was a copy of Barron's on the nightstand or coffee table when the naming took place.

                                      Ah, the hyenas circle the 🔥, just out of the circle of light.

                                      Face it, with the exception of Barron, I doubt any of the Trump kids understand Bitcoin. Somebody made a pitch and they took it.

                                      Personally, I would not invest in any of the stuff.

                                          I wonder how much damage a future anti-crypto president could do to the value of bitcoin? It's designed to be immune to such pressures.

                                          Education is extremely important.
