A grifter is in charge of the country? Very fitting to be honest.

surely congress will do something about this illegal activity

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago

I'm sure there's a bipartisan effort to get in on the action. $Fettercoin, etc.

excited about social security payments being able to be paid in trump coin at twice the value or boring old USD and 70% of boomers listening to the siren call of lead toxicity, choosing trump coin.

This crypto shit is bad

It's going to end real badly one day

You know the normal corruption of the government is boring laws passed and insider trading, I like that we have an out and out huckster in the White House again. It's a change of scenery at least.

There's something to this. Remember 2020? Remember the activism and riots? Nothing fundamentally changed, but the people seemingly went back to sleep. This ~~is going to~~ (I've got to be realistic 😞) MIGHT wake them up again.

With Trump immediately saving TikTok combined with the American attention span? I don’t see how that’s possible, but I hope I’m wrong

LMAO. What a fucking grift. Like amerikkka-clap . Trump owns 80% of the coin that's trading at $72. This is like if Disney's worth included the market value of a warehouse full of freshly printed Disney bucks that a few thousand collectors were trading amongst themselves. The sad thing is, I could almost see this shit working for him if he doesn't completely fumble the next few years.
