Apparently Trump had 26 failed businesses!

Why not go for 27!
- 27 was Trump: The President
- 3³ time lucky, they say.
  
  ... What? They don't say that?
  
  You said it, so now "they" do. ;)
it's so odd that a presidential candidate would support an alternative to US currency.
- Not if he’s a useful idiot.
  
  Useful idiots don’t know they are being manipulated.
  
  He knows EXACTLY what polonium is waiting for him if he crosses Putin.
The next grift begins
- How long until they start investigating his shitcoin as fraud?
  
  If the government financial trams aren't already investigating it, then they're stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.
  
  Garland be like... Crime must not be prosecuted in an election year... Or two years after... Or look guys I'm neutral.
  
  Spineless AG is chilling until he hopes it all blows over.
  
  I hope Kamala as an ex prosecutor appoints an actual prosecutor.
- “begins”
  
  ““begins””
“Business”
- It is, indeed, funny business.
- Business-wise, this all seems like appropriate business.
You mean Russian money laundering.

Who are the devs?
Conman begins latest con

Feels almost irresponsible to even report on this tbh
Every Trump business model is conveniently shaped like a pyramid ⚠️
I want him to explain the blockchain.

Edit: On second thoughts maybe I dont.
- My beautiful new currency is taking the market by a landslide, and we are not even there yet. We have just started. And you know what? We’re doing great. But we’re getting there. You know, they say that if Trump doesn’t start his own crypto, it’s over. It’s over, folks. If he does, no currency is ever going to be better. They’re never gonna — he’s got such great ideas. He’s done an incredible job for us. So we’ll see what happens, but I’m telling you, this is one of those things.
  
  except maybe for Abraham Lincoln's
How does one short crypto?
Presidents ARENT allowed to have Outside Businesses as that would be a Conflict Of Interest and Put the United States in a National Security risk but I'm OK with Trump doing it because he's a REALLY GOOD, Probably THE BEST, Businessman in the World! Who hasn't Bankrupted over 20 Businesses!
Donald Trump Rolls Out ~~His New Cryptocurrency Business~~ yet another money laundering operation
I no longer blame him for fleecing his stupid cultists. I don't care how much they harm themselves any longer, as they are hateful pieces of shit. I only mind that he benefits from it.
- yeah im sorry when they bend over, reach behind, grab it, then stick it in themselves. I can hardly blame him.
*Trump reveals his latest scam to extract money from his rubes.

FTFY
He is so fucking stupid. And yet there are dumber people who fall for this trash. Anyone who has a squatting truck, anyone who brings a confederate flag to, well, anywhere. Roll coal dumbasses.
Plenty of fools in the world I am sure it will do fantastic.
This will be two full new cycles when nobody talks about abortion or other topics that Normis understand.
I am surprised this has not already happened.
What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.
