The $TRUMP meme coin that's added another $635 million to the bank account of President Donald Trump has plummeted 98% in value, CNN reported Thursday. On top of that, Inside Politics host Dana Bash noted over 740,000 people who invested in the coin have since lost money. "So this is the $TRUMP meme coin, just to be specific, and crypto analytics firm estimates that 58 investors into the $TRUMP coin made profits above 10 million," Bash said while joined by several journalists, including Kristen Holmes and Zolan Kanno-Youngs.

The Great American State Fair has hit another snag, this time with the "Temu" replica of President Donald Trump's proposed victory arch, which appears to be coming apart at the seams. On Wednesday, the plywood model " installed at the center of the National Mall " seemed to ooze thick globs of yellow spray foam or some other building material.

The miniature mock-up " intended to promote Trump's proposed 250-foot victory arch along the Potomac " had already drawn ridicule for resembling a cheap DIY project.

  • "For the people in our country, who want to turn this country into a communist country? Leave. You're free to leave. The beauty about America is, you can leave! Go to Europe where they're experiencing this heat wave and they don't have any air conditioning. See how well that works for you! I'm proud to be an American.
