and the grift goes on, on ,on, on, onTrump has a history of grifting and fraud. His Trump University was a grift. His foundation was a fraud. His recent grift is his crypto coin - $Trump.
On Thursday night, Trump had a dinner for the top 224 buyers of his coin. Some were so happy to be invited, they wore masks to hide their identity, like:
Well, one who attended didn't seem very positive about it:
The price of President Donald Trump’s meme coin plunged 16% as of Friday morning, just hours after he hosted a black-tie gala at his Virginia golf club for its biggest buyers — an elite crowd that spent a combined $148 million on the token for the chance to be there.
It was billed as “the most exclusive invitation in the world.”......
The top 25 wallets were promised a private reception and guided tour. Others, such as 25-year-old Nicholas Pinto — whose dad drove him to the event in his Lamborghini — left underwhelmed and still hungry.
“The food sucked,” Pinto said. “Wasn’t given any drinks other than water or Trump’s wine. I don’t drink, so I had water. My glass was only filled once.”
Trump made only a brief appearance, Pinto said. “He didn’t talk to any of the 220 guests — maybe the top 25,” he said.
All in, the president was there for 23 minutes, Pinto said. Trump delivered a brief address rehashing old crypto talking points then left on a helicopter before taking any questions or pictures with his meme coin contest winners, he said.
His office insists it was a personal affair and not one Trump attended as president - but he used a podium with the White House seal on it.
Riiight....
Look who attended:

Regarding Memorial Day, I saw this:
This is a sad holiday currently, because of the choice America made last November:
Our country sure needs prayer and for the caring and compassionate to stand up and stand firm.
