We will never see another grifter even come close. This guy is the ultimate fraudster. Absolutely incredible.

Like Trump hotel gift certificates

Isn't Truth Social just another money laundering scheme, too?

Selling high dollar vapor for cryptocurrency ought to be setting off alarms at the DOJ

Even more telling than the usual merch grifting is the proposal of tariffs to initiate those foreign bribes in order to bypass them.

If foreigners can buy it and it goes to fund his campaign, isn’t that illegal?

Doesn't he have a less stupid way to launder money at this point in the game?

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•158 days ago

Why bother putting in effort when the easy, unsubtle way has no consequences?

woodenman.bsky.social•158 days ago

Fair point. He must be still riding the high of the SCOTUS debacle.

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•158 days ago

For this sort of thing, it's been nearly a decade.

lisbonlemidi.bsky.social•158 days ago

My first thought as well.

toddavies.bsky.social•158 days ago

Lot of that going on. Mueller told us.

Idk, this looks like his usual licensing deals. Anyone could buy a case of trump Ice. The only difference is crypto, no? And I'll preemptively agree all his licensing deals were probably bribe launder ops.

It's 💯 a way to launder bribes.

For a million bucks Trump will come to your house and put his thumb in your ass. For 2 million he’ll put both hands in there and clap.

So if you see Jon Voight or Dean Cain or James Woods walking funny, you’ll know why.

did people ever get the shoes? Seems like that was another one of those "send us money now . . . get your stuff maybe" things.
