3³ time lucky, they say.

... What? They don't say that?

[–] Lemminary 1 points 1 month ago

You said it, so now "they" do. ;)

[–] Brkdncr 46 points 2 months ago (1 children)

it's so odd that a presidential candidate would support an alternative to US currency.

[–] eran_morad 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not if he’s a useful idiot.

[–] RestrictedAccount 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Useful idiots don’t know they are being manipulated.

He knows EXACTLY what polonium is waiting for him if he crosses Putin.

Doubt. His narcissism dominates what limited neural activity occurs in the decaying matter encased in his skull.

It is, indeed, funny business.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Business-wise, this all seems like appropriate business.

How long until they start investigating his shitcoin as fraud?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

If the government financial trams aren't already investigating it, then they're stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.

[–] dugmeup 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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.

Conman begins latest con

Feels almost irresponsible to even report on this tbh

Every Trump business model is conveniently shaped like a pyramid ⚠️

[–] cheese_greater 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

pyramid scheme

He prefers to call it the ol' "3 point ~~plan~~ concept"

66.666% more suckers!

How does one short crypto?

[–] peetabix 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I want him to explain the blockchain.

Edit: On second thoughts maybe I dont.

[–] FelixCress 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

Donald Trump Rolls Out ~~His New Cryptocurrency Business~~ yet another money laundering operation

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] cosmicrookie 7 points 2 months ago

He's just an honest guy earning money for his family. He wouldn't be that greedy to put a whole nation on the line to make money /s

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

yeah im sorry when they bend over, reach behind, grab it, then stick it in themselves. I can hardly blame him.

[–] Nunar 18 points 2 months ago

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.

*Trump reveals his latest scam to extract money from his rubes.

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

Plenty of fools in the world I am sure it will do fantastic.

[–] RestrictedAccount 10 points 2 months ago

This will be two full new cycles when nobody talks about abortion or other topics that Normis understand.

[–] drunkpostdisaster 7 points 2 months ago

I am surprised this has not already happened.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.
