He's just trying to grab whatever money he can get his hands on... I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he flees overseas if he loses the election.

Russian embassy, I guarantee it.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Conservative Fire Sale.

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

He'll never admit he's lost the election. He's going to keep doing this and he's going to keep getting away with it. Because reasons

[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hopefully North Korea. Scrap that. Even Lil Kim don't deserve such a calamity.

[-] model_tar_gz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nope. Security risk, can’t let him leave. He can live out the rest of his days desperately clinging to any straw of attention he can get in mar a lago.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 35 points 4 weeks ago

Of fucking course. Gotta get one last grift in before being labeled a loser again and your fairweather followers stop believing in your bullshit.

Dudes in real time trying to wash his financial transactions without raising suspicion towards secret Bitcoin wallets

Lmaooo, wanna know which snake whispered this idea into his head so I can watch them closer

[-] Mcdolan@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago

Probably the same one that has given Alex Jones bitcoin donations a few times.

[-] Nach@midwest.social 21 points 4 weeks ago

Of course it's a pump and dump. The question is can you get in and out before the dump?

Is your last name Trump? If not, you most certainly can’t get out before the dump. I guarantee it.

Any half-decent con man should have at least one shitcoin scam on his resume. Do you even grift, bro?

[-] olympicyes@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Doge coin has a $15 billion market cap! If I were Trump I’d try to find a low market cap existing count and corner the market then make up some bs about why that coin is better than the alternative.

[-] RangerJosie@lemmy.world 17 points 4 weeks ago

Well that makes it official. He's lied and conned and fucked over so many people that he's finally reached the bottom of the barrel. He's out of options.

[-] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 weeks ago

elon must have told him how easy it was to pump and dump with crypto.

[-] dhork@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Haha. Trump is basically inviting the SEC to sue him. Hopefully, they have the good sense to wait until after the election to do that. The last thing we need is to give Trump more of a martyr complex.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

Rug pull? Rug pull.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Zombie Sidney Pointier... get his ass.
