He'll pay them their $9000 in Trump Coins. Then they can put that $6000 in Trump Coin into the crypto market of their choosing and trade it for $500 in any other cryptocurrency they want (less fees), or just cash it out for $3.50.

Let me tell the damn story now! He said "treefiddy" And so I realized that it wasn't no president, it was that goddam Little Saint James monster again trying to trick me into giving him treefiddy by dressing up like an air traffic controller. Don't that just beat all?!
