That's one unfunny meme.

Is anyone other than me bothered by this?

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?

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.

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’.
Only non-witches get due process.

@jon-nyc Well, based on the family history, it is a pretty believable "product"

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

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 have seen no evidence to support the above. Feel free to point me to such evidence if you wish. :man-shrugging:

I extrapolate that from what Trump told Hannity about Tik-Tok in his recent interview.

I would say that the people on this forum board on average are more knowledgable about bit coin than the average 18 year old. Most 18 year olds that I know do not have much, if any, knowledge of bit coin.
