It's what was on her jacket when she went down to your the border during Trump's first term.

I did know that. It was kind of a tan suit moment.

Why not?

Her husband is 50 billion crypto richer after one day.

Of course... he's crashed to less than half that now. Apparently his advisors didn't know that $Melania would undermine the $Trump to nearly nothing.

This is a 'rug-pull' scam in the crypto market, and they are not amused.

"Crypto Execs Unamused by Trump Meme Coins'

The meme coin sector is divisive as it fuels criticism that the crypto industry is frivolous and risky, the report said. Meme coins depend on social media momentum that can fade as fast as it materializes.

Balaji Srinivasan, an angel investor and former chief technology officer at Coinbase, posted on social platform X that meme coins are a zero-sum "lottery" where the "price eventually crashes and the last buyers lose everything."

"Balaji

@balajis
A memecoin is a zero-sum* lottery.

There is no wealth creation. Every buy order is simply matched by a sell order. And after an initial spike, the price eventually crashes and the last buyers lose everything.

* It's actually negative sum if the platform takes a cut."

Just looked what Melania was worth before meeting Trump:

Melania Trump's 57 net worth and how she made huge fortune before marrying Donald Trump

That's approx 70 million dollars.

"When you buy the $TRUMP coin, you waive your right to a class action lawsuit.

If you try, they'll make YOU pay their legal fees."

Melania's crypto is crippling Trump's crypto. At launch it crashed his by 40%.

The real-time investors complaining is hilarious.

It's working as intended.

This was probably the deal Melania made with Trump in order to continue pretending to be his wife.

Lots of money, and this scam is paying off big time

I hear the coin is stamped with Slovenian text so King Dotard cannot read it ...

We live in unscrupulous pump and dump times...the grifters are in full flower and they are experts at lying and cheating the rubes.
Problem is, Crypto is a real and present danger to our own economy, to the digital dollar itself.

$Melania is down 47% today (1/21) from its issuance last week. Must have been the hat...

#16 | Posted by catdog at 2025-01-21 01:22 PM

The great grift continues. Suckers.

It's, well, a legal scam. As long as the creators and backers don't do anything illegal they can pump the rubes all day long. Or pay off the creators by buying their coins from them...

There is no grift too small for the Felon47 and Felania.
