Trump and Melania's Crypto Grifts Plunge 88% and 98%

The man who promised to be the first "crypto president" has seen the value of his own crypto coin collapse faster than his approval ratings. Days before his inauguration, President Donald Trump announced that he was launching a meme coin"a type of cryptocurrency that relies on online hype and digital branding. The token, traded as $TRUMP and inspired by the president's "Fight! Fight! Fight!" chant after his assassination attempt, has fallen in value from almost $75 per token in January to barely $8 today (an 88 percent drop). First Lady Melanoma Trump followed her husband into the famously volatile cryptocurrency industry and her token has fared even worse. Her $MELANIA coin has lost more than 98 percent of its value since its mid-January peak, and it is now trading at about 20 cents per token.

If he was smart, he would've taken the $75 per coin he got from the suckers and converted it to cash leaving the suckers to eat the loss alone.

I am reminded by the "Trump Bucks" that were used to scam the hillbillies into sending him their life savings a few years back. I loved the story of the rube that bought them and tried to exchange them for cash at the bank only to be informed just how stupid he was for buying them.

What saddens me about this, is not that Taco is never brought to justice for these blatant scams, but rather that the idjuts keep falling for it over and over.

Hey.. Scamming 2% of the rabid rubes money is better than no percent.

Sure, and how many times did you shout "collusion" and "Latitia James was right". Loser

When huge financial loss is obviously limited to a particular political viewpoint I admit; I do enjoy it. To be more plain; I love seeing MAGAholes losing their life savings because they are horrible people!

Yet somehow they still made hundreds of millions of dollars from it. Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Some gamblers make money but most lose the rent money. I've been to casinos, always had one rule. Ant money I took there I had to consider to be money I cou;d flush down the toilet. So I would always enter casinos with $50 in my pocket and when that was gone I was done. I can honestly say I've never lost more than $50 bucks to those crooks! That's exactly what's wrong with MAGAs, they don't (more like won't) realize to Donald Trymp they are Rubes

"I can honestly say I've never lost more than $50 bucks to those crooks! "

You are generous! My rule was $20.

I used to go through Reno a lot. So I'd stop to pee and play some cards.

But I was ruined once by winning $700 off of that $20.

So I gave it all back(plus some) $20 bucks at a time after about 50 more visits.
