Grifts around 47: A running catelogue for this presidency

[rambot]

Trump launches $TRUMP Meme Coin; is it crypto gold or a campaign gimmick?

My concerns are that the timing of this is highly dubious (I mean, not really it's a great way to make a quick buck for everyone involved).

And by everyone I would point out that Trump insiders own 80% and that only about 10% is actually going to be made public.

And it's interesting that the lockup period coincides with trumps presidency time lines.

The rich know how often Trump exploits people and so many of them will be happy to exploit others along with him.


I don't know what I wish foe Trump supporters in this case. I guess I hope you make wise investments.


The fact is that this is going to happen over the next 4 year a lot. So I thought that this thread can be the catelogue. Feel free to add as seen fit.

The Trump Inaugural Committee has no transparency, but is believed to have raised close to $200 million.

The planned festivities were already somewhat scaled down from typical years, and now the show is moving inside.

We will likely never know where the money goes.

Very disheartening. But not really that much compared to the total collapse of democracy and the destruction of the environment that's going to take place. Not to mention the brutal dictatorship. With all the poor and minorities being sent to their doom. And the elderly on SSI being turned into green protein crackers.

Lots of Trump fans are complaining online about spending a fortune to attend the inauguration, only to find out its being held inside.

Or how much will (now) be left-over?

If people are complaining about a trip to DC for an inauguration costing too much, perhaps they aren't as rich as they thought.

based on what?

I sold one of my kidneys to be able to attend the inauguration and now he's pulled this stunt.

I choose the Trump 47 Trumpanator bear over eggs and gas.

That meme coin is a straight up grift.

Psst: sarcastic hyperbole.

Actually with the exception of the last sentence in my post, that's pretty much exactly what I've been hearing from the left.

Wow, those things are as expensive as eggs and gas?!

What you hear may differ significantly from what they actually say...

This may not come to fruition, but it looks like 47 wants to replay a 45 money maker:

Trump family wants to buy back Washington, D.C., hotel under contract with OKC investors

The Trump family wants to reacquire the former Trump International Hotel that is under contract with an Oklahoma City investment group.

www.oklahoman.com

The Trump family first hinted at a renewed interest in the hotel in December when Eric Trump, executive vice president of the Trump Organization, told the New York Post, “Our family has saved the hotel once. If asked, we would save it again.”

Most Trump supporters, that I know are not rich .A few live off the system (mental illness). I believe Trump is going to make the rich more rich .And the working person more poor.

Just like he did in his last presidency. The working class only imagined they were better off.

And if they've got that kind of money, maybe inflation wasn't really that big a deal.

How is this exploiting people?

 

[rambot]

Very disheartening.

Is...is that an ACTUAL critique of Trump or was that directed at the op for even bringing it up?

Is this actually sarcasm - or do you believe Trump is beyond scrutiny or that his base doesn't ever critique him?
