For those who don't want to click: it's the meme coin

It's a way for anyone, any organization, any government from anywhere in the world to anonymously transfer funds directly to Trump and that launders the money for him.

Meanwhile Trump's wealth has been going up by a billion dollars per month ever since he took power.

I don't know how more obvious they can make it that there is rampant corruption going on right now. For decades after he's gone we're still going to keep discovering ways this guy and his direct entourage were stealing from the entire country.

MAGAs: this is normal and very cool

Single most corrupt, self serving act of any president so far

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago

That's the spirit! Remember, the colostomy bag is half-full!

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago

Just the one? There’s so many to choose from though!

"Trump accused of doing most corrupt thing ever!"

"Yeah.....it's Tuesday......we know."

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 2 days ago

What? Again? It's almost like he needs to be stopped, by force if necessary.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They'll be finding shady shit he has been doing for over a decade after he's gone.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Only a decade?

[–] grue@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean sure, this is near-infinite corruption... but the coup attempt is still worse. It's gonna take something like massacring all the non-MAGA Congresspeople to top that.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Don't give a fascist ideas....

"Single most corrupt act"... Dude, he does that multiple times a day, every day. 💁‍♂️

The top 220 meme coin owners, many of whom are foreign investors, invited to a private dinner with the president of the United States. Businesses are buying and jockeying to be one of the favored few who also get a private audience with him if they are willing to buy millions of meme coins, not to mention a personal tour of the White House. But beyond the meme coins and private dinners, there’s also something else brewing behind the scenes. As I speak, Eric Trump and Don Jr. are getting into the action, jetting around the world building their own financial empire in the crypto business space. In Dubai, the Trump family’s World Liberty Financial Firm announced a joint venture capital firm backed by the government of Abu Dhabi that would invest $2 billion using Trump digital currency “Now, I know it’s hard to keep all these billions apart,” he added. “You got the $2 billion investment in Jared Kushner by the Saudis. You got $5.5 billion investment by other gulf nations in Trump properties. You got $2 billion here, another $5.5 billion there, another $2 billion here and pretty soon you are talking about serious money for the Trump family. This deal alone will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. So, that’s the ‘Art of the Deal’ with this president. Trump gets rich. You get screwed.”

No surprising since he is a piece of human shit.

[–] tomkatt@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Title needs a fix.

Trump accused of committing ‘single most corrupt, self-serving act of any President in American history’ … so far.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

In other words, just a regular Tuesday.

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

So many records broken. Are you tired of all the winning yet America ?

[–] OwlPaste@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

He will be happy because he is no1 in something he most likely doesn't understand

What about using tariffs to play stock market games.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Nah, insider trading is fine for politicians

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Under normal circumstances this headline would not be considered clickbait.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

Fredo Corleone would have figured out that he could extort billions from the Saudis et al on Inauguration Day 2016.

the biggest most awful most tragic event in human history
