'We are the marks': Some Trump Fans Feel They've Been Had

Friday, January 31, 2025

President Donald Trump's official meme coin isn't just rubbing some cryptocurrency executives the wrong way -- it's also annoying some of his run-of-the-mill MAGA supporters.

For many government employees, merely owning cryptocurrency is off-limits. Not for Trump, who created a "very grifty" meme coin.

Many MAGA fans on the subreddit believed that Trump's meme coin was a quick cash-grab at the expense of his fans, many of whom may have plugged significant chunks of cash into it early on, only to see its value quickly evaporate.

MAGA dumfux never learn.

How many times does Trump have to be Trump before these idiots get it?

Yet they get upset when they're called stupid...

No sympathy.

For most of these people, this is far from the first time Donald has stolen from them.

If they weren't sending all their money to the Trump Crime Family, perhaps they could afford eggs.

Trump gave them the Hawk Tuah treatment?

You mean to tell us that investing in something based on nothing being offered by someone with 34 financial felony convictions is a scam?
At least snake oil salesmen gave you a container of snake oil.

This quote sums it up perfectly:

"Donald Trumps is an idiots idea of a genius."

President Donald Trump's official meme coin

You'd think they would have learned after:

Trump U
Trump Steaks
Trump Water
Trump Real Estate
Trump Air
Trump Bucks
Trump Cards
Trump NFT
Trump Bibles
Trump Sneakers

Let's discuss what this meme coin was designed for...it was a vehicle for foreign countries to pay him off for presidential favors without the bother of having to rent out entire floors of his crappy hotels with no one staying in them.

If he can snag a million rubes sending in their social security disability checks, well that's just gravy.

I still remember the idiot that tried to cash in "Trump Bucks" at the bank for actual money only to get laughed at by bank personnel.

You don't have to be a smart con artist if your victims are extremely dumb.

Some people love being The Victim... it allows them to blame everyone else.

MAGA Rubes Finally Figure Out They're The Marks

No. They haven't.

They're never going to.

Never.
