He's made owning that hotel in D.C. look like small potatoes.

14truth.bsky.social•50 days ago

No shame... and at the expense of his Maga followers. Someone should let him know that as he pushes prices up with is Tariffs, the pool of followers that can afford his trinkets will increasingly dry up. Surprise, surprise!

shylaowai.bsky.social•50 days ago

Are there any “ethics watchdogs” any more? Maybe “ethics chihuahuas”…

jalepeno.bsky.social•50 days ago

MAGA. Like having an ATM of endless stupidity. This whole family is a neverending grift/ con for the foolish. Trump steaks. Trump University. Trump Bibles. Trump trading cards. How fucking predictable and shameless.

radarnick.bsky.social•50 days ago

Worlds biggest grift! And "uneducated" puppets stand in line to throw their welfare money at his feet. @therepublicanparty.bsky.social #TrumpGrift #FAFO

nycblu.bsky.social•49 days ago

Why quote false reporting about Trump's net worth, which is unknown and likely very small?

seanonblueskyco.bsky.social•50 days ago

Who cares. It's a pyramid scheme. The "investors " will loose everything when he cashes out. They know theyre giving money directly to trumpf. Grifting 1000%. We can't win. They have the scotus. And everything else

sadieheartsclyde.bsky.social•50 days ago

Obviously a way for foreign governments to pay bribes? Why is this being allowed?

dsng480.bsky.social•50 days ago

But Hillary gave speeches to Goldman Sachs!

jillc1024.bsky.social•50 days ago

What a fucking grifter. He wrote the how to book 🤮

r-floman.bsky.social•50 days ago

Proof positive that millions of people are blithering morons with money.

exton-78.bsky.social•50 days ago

We know it's corrupt. Why can't we stop it?

rebelone-xkiller.bsky.social•50 days ago

Trump lost hundreds of millions when he had to run actual businesses. But he’s mastered selling things as phony as his “steely” demeanor to his legion of suckers.

blupotluv.bsky.social•50 days ago

I hope he and his spawn choke on the ill-gotten gains.

tickleslarue.bsky.social•49 days ago

McGrifty got a bunch of money from unknown sources for no actual work?
He is the Welfare King of all Time.
I can't imagine how this will go wrong...

Not an shadow of ethics in all the GOP.

Still grifting.

cthulhuhoop.bsky.social•49 days ago

the king is in the all together

mj46.bsky.social•50 days ago

How does he get away with all this corruption?

strangelynow.bsky.social•50 days ago

His corruption has been enabled by both acquiescence and fear.

quetalgente.bsky.social•49 days ago

Sought reelection to pardon himself and continue the grifting... but his #MAGACult is so proud of him not taking a salary... as he bleeds them dry, and rewards those that but his crap. Bribery right in front of our faces.

rmatuz.bsky.social•50 days ago

Becoming President has been Trump’s greatest scam. As a failed businessman he finally hit the jackpot.

jowonderland.bsky.social•49 days ago

hartsigns.bsky.social•50 days ago

I don't believe that at all

danamasse.bsky.social•50 days ago

Another grift to take advantage of the crypto Ponzi.

emzorbit.bsky.social•50 days ago

If a foreign government, like say….China, wanted to funnel money to an incoming president, would this be a good way to do it?

25andbarelyalive.bsky.social•50 days ago

Exactly

nanadoc.bsky.social•50 days ago

"but he's not taking a salary..." 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

bertrandmenard.bsky.social•50 days ago

Not exactly surprising since cryptos are used by narcos and criminals in general ...
It'll be interesting when it will go down ...

johnjxwebb.bsky.social•50 days ago

Fake billionaire launches fake money scam.

I'm shocked.

slickety681.bsky.social•50 days ago

Grifter in chief

billr407.bsky.social•50 days ago

That shit is as worthless as he is

jrfree.bsky.social•50 days ago

Trump's grifting has never been challenged!!!

pdstep.bsky.social•50 days ago

I’m sure he’ll share with his supporters. He’s just that kind of giving guy…right?

gdalton64.bsky.social•50 days ago

👍😎

south-seas.bsky.social•50 days ago

No, his net worth won’t go up by tens of billions 🙄

demoskratia.bsky.social•50 days ago

Gross

25andbarelyalive.bsky.social•50 days ago

I am very concerned about the crypto game becoming so influential. I mean being "elevated" in the national conversation to the point it becomes entirely commonplace and game for such devious minds. I guess we're there now and I just have to watch this new addition to his toolbag do it's damage

kevinconrad.bsky.social•50 days ago

…..but Nancy Pelosi!!!!

jonid.bsky.social•50 days ago

Is there a grift this guy hasn’t thought about?

diffdrum1.bsky.social•50 days ago

This is bs

jpyankee.bsky.social•50 days ago

Con men gotta con

starbright-beach.bsky.social•49 days ago

And when the Trump coin crashes the Grifter in Chief will require the U.S. Treasury to support it to "ensure global economic stability." Foreign governments who bought in to gain influence over U.S. policy will get bailed out, as will Trump, and taxpayers will be left holding the bag.

loriweathers.bsky.social•50 days ago

What an embarrassment.

abssyeast.bsky.social•50 days ago

That’s a pretty big rug. I hope he has enough strength to manage the pulling part…

brewjew308.bsky.social•50 days ago

littlecults4ever.bsky.social•50 days ago

Carl, Carl, Carl...it's a pump and dump scam. A rug pull. Please consult with crypto specialists before just reprinting Trump's junk.

dogsdadbod.bsky.social•50 days ago

Imagine posting this with credulity

peterbschneider.bsky.social•50 days ago

All part of the fleecing of America and his abuse of the office. SAD!

remarkable59.bsky.social•50 days ago

Should the players be able to bet while at the same time having the power to influence the outcome? Should the players be able to bet while having access to confidential information about the contest? If we don’t allow athletes to do this, why would we allow our legislators?

pghgal.bsky.social•49 days ago

You mean a quick chance to buy influence was offered.

bsbeamer.bsky.social•50 days ago

It’s straight up a grift and a con. Might as well be considered an insider trading pump and dump scheme. It should be illegal. He won’t be held accountable, again.

dianawilde.bsky.social•50 days ago

There's literally no law against it because the government has been designed to be as corrupted as possible.

ibnozn.bsky.social•50 days ago

Ha, "ethics watchdogs". What are "ethics watchdogs" to a political party that does not believe in ethics?

terra58.bsky.social•50 days ago

What a fucking asshole.

florianch.bsky.social•50 days ago

All con and fraudsters are using the same.....Musk , Trump....

therealmrsweary.bsky.social•50 days ago

Grift, grift, grift, grift, grift, grift, grift....

timstolll.bsky.social•50 days ago

Fucking criminal. Him, and the way this government lets this shit happen for shitbags just like him all over.

Luigi them all, burn it all down. It ain’t working for us.

kristenpilates.bsky.social•50 days ago

Blatant bribery and corruption.

nosacredcowfla.bsky.social•49 days ago

It's all a scam.

northsleuth.bsky.social•50 days ago

Poor Donald, he gave up so much revenue opportunity to be President.

bindlestiff.bsky.social•50 days ago

“…a highly unusual move…”
When characterizing something as “highly unusual” is actually outrageous normalization

cieloazulnm.bsky.social•50 days ago

It was never about eggs, fuel, housing, groceriesor healthcare. It was always about making more money, evading justice and taking more money from The People.

pocono.bsky.social•50 days ago

This shit get him fucking impeached. Obviously that will never happen because the entire Republican party is a bunch of lacky losers

masdevalliadruid.bsky.social•49 days ago

All the better to bribe him with.

smlrun.bsky.social•50 days ago

grift scam. garbage taking advantage of the presidency interesting media shrugs it off if dems did this would be hysteria truly trash. trump is embarrassing felon racist. rapist. america is embarrassment right now

mondoray.bsky.social•49 days ago

Nothing but a self serving grifter

sinkhole13.bsky.social•50 days ago

Is it a security or commodity? Either way it won’t be regulated.

runnin-l8.bsky.social•50 days ago

On paper. No worries though, it’ll drop to zero when Putin dies, Trump is ejected from office, or Elon quits ketamine.

kdjs-1.bsky.social•50 days ago

increasing his blatant corrupt conflict of interest...

memphismanatee.bsky.social•49 days ago

Such gullibility.

erinslick.bsky.social•50 days ago

lolno. He did not increase his net worth tens of billions from copying the Hawk Tuah meme coin girl 😂

domingosmcc.bsky.social•49 days ago

Ethics, I curse you!

It’s all a grift! Felons do what felons do!

“Attention Foreign Nationals: Deposit Bribes Here. Not into DJT stock. Thanks in Advance” - Donald

curiousgeorge85.bsky.social•50 days ago

I really thought DJT stock was going to be the vehicle used to bribe him. That stock looked like a slush fund - worth billions in market cap when it was barely a functioning company losing money (led by Devin Nunes of all people).

Turns out this crypto “asset” will be where the bribes go
