“Stocks and cryptocurrencies linked to President Trump are in a deep slump, leaving some of the president’s biggest fans with steep losses,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the president’s Truth Social platform, have tumbled 75% since Trump’s inauguration. Digital “meme coins” named for Trump and first lady Melania Trump are down 86% and 99% since inauguration day, respectively. And one of the Trump family’s crypto ventures, a token called World Liberty Financial, has dropped roughly 40% since its September launch.”

It may take a few, but it will happen (figuratively at least).

The only reason he’s president besides wanting to stay out of jail is to grift the population for his own gain.

He structured it so that he and his family will never lose money. His ~~suckers~~ MAGATs may, but he and his family never will.

Did they actually believe that because it said Trump on the label they were going to get rich?

I have absolutely no sympathy for these fools.

They were buying access. The main purpose of the Trump bit coin was to make it easier to pass along money to the Trump crime family.

They make money when the coin is bought. They make money when the coin is sold, no matter to who.

I wonder who actually came up with this scam (Trump coin). It is one of the smartest things they have ever done.

you are a fan and a sucker. There are plenty of fans that have lost their ass.

If you are not opposed to AI because it's AI, this is worth a listen.

Im just pointing out that making money off the value of the crypto was not a concern for the people creating the Trump meme coin, or a small percentage of the investors.

The rest were fooled into thinking that this time a Trump scheme would make money.

They should put it all in Trumpcoin, Trump NFTs, Trump gold cell phones, Truth Social, and other BS. Then when they lose everything, they can blame Antifa/immigrants/trans/deep state/feminists/globalists for ruining their lives.
