I no longer blame him for fleecing his stupid cultists. I don't care how much they harm themselves any longer, as they are hateful pieces of shit. I only mind that he benefits from it.

yeah im sorry when they bend over, reach behind, grab it, then stick it in themselves. I can hardly blame him.

Trump University

Trump: The Game

Trump Vodka

3³ time lucky, they say.

... What? They don't say that?

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You said it, so now "they" do. ;)

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

it's so odd that a presidential candidate would support an alternative to US currency.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not if he’s a useful idiot.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Useful idiots don’t know they are being manipulated.

He knows EXACTLY what polonium is waiting for him if he crosses Putin.

[–] eran_morad@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Doubt. His narcissism dominates what limited neural activity occurs in the decaying matter encased in his skull.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 39 points 2 days ago

You mean Russian money laundering.

Who are the devs?

It is, indeed, funny business.

[–] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Business-wise, this all seems like appropriate business.

How long until they start investigating his shitcoin as fraud?

[–] azimir@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

If the government financial trams aren't already investigating it, then they're stupid. This is shooting fish in a barrel for financial crimes.

[–] dugmeup@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Garland be like... Crime must not be prosecuted in an election year... Or two years after... Or look guys I'm neutral.

Spineless AG is chilling until he hopes it all blows over.

I hope Kamala as an ex prosecutor appoints an actual prosecutor.

Every Trump business model is conveniently shaped like a pyramid ⚠️

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

pyramid scheme

He prefers to call it the ol' "3 point ~~plan~~ concept"

66.666% more suckers!

I want him to explain the blockchain.

Edit: On second thoughts maybe I dont.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My beautiful new currency is taking the market by a landslide, and we are not even there yet. We have just started. And you know what? We’re doing great. But we’re getting there. You know, they say that if Trump doesn’t start his own crypto, it’s over. It’s over, folks. If he does, no currency is ever going to be better. They’re never gonna — he’s got such great ideas. He’s done an incredible job for us. So we’ll see what happens, but I’m telling you, this is one of those things.

How does one short crypto?

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

He is so fucking stupid. And yet there are dumber people who fall for this trash. Anyone who has a squatting truck, anyone who brings a confederate flag to, well, anywhere. Roll coal dumbasses.

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Presidents ARENT allowed to have Outside Businesses as that would be a Conflict Of Interest and Put the United States in a National Security risk but I'm OK with Trump doing it because he's a REALLY GOOD, Probably THE BEST, Businessman in the World! Who hasn't Bankrupted over 20 Businesses!

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

He's just an honest guy earning money for his family. He wouldn't be that greedy to put a whole nation on the line to make money /s

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

This will be two full new cycles when nobody talks about abortion or other topics that Normis understand.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago

Plenty of fools in the world I am sure it will do fantastic.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I am surprised this has not already happened.

What does this business do? Is it just a shitcoin? The archive link only has half the article.
