Now they’re defiant? I thought the whole thing was that they were the silent majority or some bullshit.

I knew serial conman Trump couldn’t resist getting involved in crypto which is one of the biggest cons of all time.

I know this is a crazy ask, but could we maybe have a presidential candidate not openly telling us he’s committing fraud while he’s on the campaign trail?

Maybe after the rug-pull he’ll finally have something so he can stop with that ridiculous hair-style.

Oh, now I should get into crypto. I’ve just been waiting for someone publicly convicted of multiple counts of fraud to start up a platform so I can pour all my money into that.

Does he accept unmarked bills?

dhork ,

We all know how this is going to end, right?

He’ll get his fans to buy his shitty token, and maybe even keep custody on his platform. Then if he loses the election, he’s gonna flee to Russia via Venezuela, while pulling the rug out from under all those “investors” and taking it all. Then he will publically state that Harris must have directed the NSA to hack his site. He can live out his remaining time in Russia as a wanna-be oligarch, and Putin will treat him like a leader-in-exile.

The president should not have their own clothing line and currency.

NoForwardslashS ,

But what if the clothing line was selling custom versions of high quality labels like Hugo Boss?

Your shirt can be any color as long as it’s black. Something-something honor and loyalty.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

What’s wrong with owning a clothing line as president? As long as they’re not using their office to impact their business in any meaningful way, I have no issues at all with it. So before taking the oath of President, you should be required to demonstrate that you have removed yourself from any obligations or loyalties you may have (so appoint someone to take care of your company(s) and whatnot).

As long as decisions made by the company have zero relationship to the actions of the President, I’m fine with it. And Congress and the Supreme Court should have some checks against that (i.e. Congress should be able to set rules for the President through legislation, and the Supreme Court should be able to review executive actions and force divestment if there’s evidence of bias).

I despise Trump, but let’s not be hasty.

Ok and the currency? That undermines the currency of the country he is serving. What if Biden came out with Biden Bucks you think he wouldn’t be attacked from every angle?

sugar_in_your_tea ,

He’d be attacked, but not by me. Likewise for Harris or anyone else running for President. I’d call it stupid and probably scammy, but I wouldn’t suggest that it somehow undermines the US.

If Trump’s crypto platform or “Biden Bucks” or whatever takes off enough that it threatens the national currency, then perhaps we should be using it instead of the national currency. Competition is good, and we shouldn’t be using a currency just because the government wants control, we should be using it because it provides value. In the case of the dollar, that value is stability and ubiquity, and if Trump, Harris, or anyone else can do it better than the Federal Reserve, perhaps we should all be using that instead of the dollar. I highly doubt that’s the case, but it certainly doesn’t affect someone’s eligibility to run for President.

That said, they should divest themselves of any controlling interest in anything that could impact their role as President. That means handing off control to someone else, and ensuring that someone else doesn’t have any way to impact your decisions.

So he did NFTs and his own coin, but where’s his Metaverse tho? His grifting is lacking.

“… guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said

I had to look up “debanked”. Admitting to it has to be the financial equivalent of telling people you are a registered sex offender.

billiam0202 ,

No no no, he didn’t say “debanked” he said “Deutsch Banked.” As in, “I’m such a liability that the only financial institution that will work with me is shady Russian money laundering Deutsch Bank.”

“I think there has been a lot of inequality in that only certain people can get financing […] so this notion of decentralized finance is obviously very appealing to guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said in the interview on Locals.

Ha. “I’m toxic to banks so we are going to try and grift our idiot followers” is fun.

So is he trying to say that he wants to build a crowd source lending institution that uses crypto? Or is this a Mt. Gox situation where they get people to buy their fake coins (a really good look for a son of a former President) and then are “hacked” and think nobody will be able to trace the coins back to them? And you know the whole reason they want to go crypto is so they can do money laundering/bribes and be “untraceable”.

That guy has been milking every cow on the planet, you gotta appreciate the efforts. I’m just surprised there’s no NFT collection out there, that’d be befitting of a supreme con artist.

BakedCatboy ,

Probably because he already did an nft collection apparently, according to the article.

restingboredface ,

He did.

They’re just as ridiculous and overpriced as you’d think.
