Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So, the trading volume is already in excess of its market cap, even though is has only been traded for less than 24 hours, and only 20% of tokens are released? That means that people are trading it actively, multiple times in one day.
I bet when you dig into the Smart Contract, you will find a small transaction fee going back to the founders with every single transaction. So if a foreign power wants to send money to Trump, all they have to do is structure some shell companies to trade it back and forth. A fraction of a cent goes to the founders each time, but if you buy 50 million dollars worth, and have bots trade bits of it 500 million times between accounts you own, you can feed Trump millions of dollars in a fashion that is untraceable by anyone but you.
And, since you have just created billions in volume out of nothing, that might encourage more ~~marks~~ investors to pay attention, at at the end of your exercise you could very well end up with more dollars than you spent on the coin in the first place, all funded by retail crypto investors with severe FOMO.
I'm curious, though, because the typical end game is for the founders to sell everything quickly to cause the price to tank, then ghost everyone. They can't do that with this coin, because Donald Trump will not be disappearing anytime soon. But maybe this is his insurance policy against impeachment -- he can just fly to Russia and rug-pull $TRUMP from the plane, over Starlink.
Grift is the only thing he's any good at.
