Trump launched a memecoin in which 80% of the supply is allocated to himself & his nepo-bros. As his fans dump their money in, he & his are going to dump their stash onto the market. Then they are going to buy real assets with that money, create more inflation (& 3x their net worth again).

Perhaps the saddest natural consequence of the UHC CEO being assassinated is that health insurance CEOs will now demand double their compensation to account for the risk of assassination in their roles. The new reality is that this is a dangerous job.
