The memecoins should be bigger to encompass Trump's swollen head. Never has there been an arrogant, delusional fool who worships himself like this. He sticks his image, name and signature on every type of product. "Blessed be the meek." Not here, not now. The US is racing down the path to perdition.
If he can ignore laws, we the people can ignore the presidential immunity. So once we get him out of the Whitehouse, it's life in prison for the traitor.
As it SHOULD, time to for citizens to see what they voted for and what they are "buying". AIR. Make Americans Give Again. Isaiah 56:11 "They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain"
Exactly this.
Trump is using his position of power to leverage a mega money grift operation for himself and family — then fires all the independent inspector generals last night — all in his first week — and the Post pretends that all it’s doing is putting a spotlight on crypto
WTAF?
How do you continue to publish articles with people surprised by indications that Trump might have conflicts of interest or might "give the appearance" of taking a bribe without once pointing out that there are MANY such indications & instances of appearances?
WaPo comment section is straight out of 2005. Lousy formatting capabilities. WordPress, a free blogging software, has a better editor. Can't find your own old comments.
Damn, Oligarch Bezos and that Tory tabloid editor are really messing you up.
It's time to dump the Bezos Post. Let it burn. MAGA doesn't want it and the rest of the world shouldn't want Trump-filtered news. It was a good 148 years, but it can no longer be considered an objective news source.
Any rise in these worthless coins is actually bribes from hidden donors...The whole thing is a money laundering scam to line his pockets...Now you see why he wants immunity to cloud the obvious breach of the emoluments clause and good old FRAUD.
Exactly.
And the Washington Post would devote their entire first page of news to it like they did with Biden’s age and hysteria about possible signs of dementia.
If I have 100 bottle caps and I'm fortunate enough to find a sucker to give me $10 for one of them, that doesn't mean I'm holding $990 worth of bottle caps.
What does it say about a country that when their president gets involved in something it becomes unseemly? You stupid bros voted for this disgusting clown. I hope he burns you.
Scary thing about the Trump crime family's crypto-meme-coin-scams is now anyone in the world can essentially deposit money into the bank account of the president of the United States, with a couple of clicks. Every favour – geopolitical, corporate or personal – is now on sale, right out in the open.
Hey WaPO, the real lede is buried in graph 11:
"Coins tied to politics are 'a perfect bribery vehicle' and 'risky to democracy,' Vitalik Buterin, creator of ethereum ... warned."
Trump and unseemly go hand in hand. Same with grifting. How many of these ‘industry insiders’ voted for him? 🤔 What did they expect? Him to suddenly be different than he has been his whole life? 🙄😒
I don’t think there’s any of us who doesn’t believe this. So why aren’t the Democrats doing anything about it? That’s a question no one seems to be able to answer.
So you know that the coin you picture does not exist.right?
80% of the billion $trumps are held by der infuriator himself. Centralizing a decentralized blockchain. the entire scheme MAKES ZERO SENSE, but apparently zero cents make 540 billion dollars.
The Trump coin made him and his friends billions in a few hours, after Elon showed them how this worked with Kekius Maximus earlier. That money is very real, and was the savings of other people who were too late to the party. Insider trading on an unprecedented scale.
Yeah man, how dare people bribe the president in this unseemly manner instead of openly. Be proud & public with your groveling & "gifts" like other billionaire traitors.
What is the purpose of TRUMP or MELANIA crypto except a vehicle for bribes and grifting? DJT actually was public and had economic metrics with control - these crypto vehicles are anonymous and a nice way for foreign entities, business or criminals to “donate” to the Trump syndicate
The whole Crypto sector is "unseemly"/slick/scandalous and extremely risky for individuals and the total financial market in America. It's just a digital scam/scheme to make instant money. The industry has NO inherent value just RISK. And it consumes a HUGE amount of needed electrical energy!
Any Crypto coin is only worth as much as it is used. I would not be surprised to hear that T&M coins are only used by Drug dealers and foreign countries to buy influence.
There was never any actual worth. The use case for these specific coins was 100% a money making device.
Trump pumped up the value of a bit of nothing by buying and promoting it, and made billions by selling it, thereby making the value drop so other people lost money.

It's also going to be a vehicle for transferring American tax dollars to the Trumps. Does anyone believe that the "crypto reserve" nonsense will be anything but putting our money into their dumb coins and their pockets?
So the future that you believe in doesn't necessarily have to happen. I don't know how many people are going to have to learn that before we all know it
C'mon. The whole concept of these things were to make illegal transactions online. Thats the polite way to describe what people did with this shadow money, before Matt Damon did his cringy commercial for it 😂👎
You see, the only way to bring down inflation, lower the price of eggs, drill baby drill, to raise tariffs, and to close the border, is by issuing meme coin crypto currency. Only through laundering money and bribery can America be made great again.
Would be hilarious if Trump ultimately ends up killing Bitcoin through his bribe delivery meme coins and grifts which causes it to crash and ends up exposing and associating it worldwide with all other digital tokens.

Americans are stunned mullets stupefied beyond recognition.

If President Biden had done anything like this…
Hell, Biden’s age was more of a story for the WaPo!
Trump’s overt corruption gets glossed over and his firing of all the independent inspector generals last night isn’t THE story???
And the Washington Post would devote their entire first page of news to it like they did with Biden’s age and hysteria about possible signs of dementia.
There's actual, (real life, honest to God, testify under oath) evidence for Trump's nefarious deeds.
She missed the grift! 😂
Why haven’t you been reporting daily on crypto’s issues?
Don't you have any laws in the US?
I’m certain he wants his name & image on all U.S. money as well & his picture in every classroom . . . & everywhere else.
He’s as “unseemly” as a typical 3rd-world dictator, & an embarrassment & ugly stain on our nation’s presidential history.
Or a Cabinet position?
It's a Con con. Always was. Always will be.
Especially Ivanka's, apparently. 😂😂😂
"Coins tied to politics are 'a perfect bribery vehicle' and 'risky to democracy,' Vitalik Buterin, creator of ethereum ... warned."
That the crypto crowd is upset is secondary.
Trying to call balls and strikes on things that are so transparently criminal or crime-adjacent activity.
You are his marks.
Traitor to democracy and and you let it die as you gave the cover of darkness @washingtonpost.com
You fucking quislings

and if not I wonder why WaPo wouldn't just say that
All the people running it will cash out before the value crashes and leaves many poor, gullible MAGA voters broke.
I prefer not to.
In Don we don’t
not
ever
give
money
to @realDonaldTrump or his family !

I have no doubt that some of the smarter cartels will pay off Trump with crypto to avoid being part of his crackdown.
