      Hell, I think my biggest problem is I can’t think of anything dumb enough before they’ve already got it

      I used to think I was a pessimist. But now after multiple “There’s no way people are that dumb” and being wrong I must be an absolute optimist.

      Right? I’d just sell them N-Word Passes and claim “Naw bro, Trump signed them and everything, these are real.”

    That guy has been milking every cow on the planet, you gotta appreciate the efforts. I’m just surprised there’s no NFT collection out there, that’d be befitting of a supreme con artist.

    “I think there has been a lot of inequality in that only certain people can get financing […] so this notion of decentralized finance is obviously very appealing to guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said in the interview on Locals.

    Ha. “I’m toxic to banks so we are going to try and grift our idiot followers” is fun.

      So is he trying to say that he wants to build a crowd source lending institution that uses crypto? Or is this a Mt. Gox situation where they get people to buy their fake coins (a really good look for a son of a former President) and then are “hacked” and think nobody will be able to trace the coins back to them? And you know the whole reason they want to go crypto is so they can do money laundering/bribes and be “untraceable”.

    “… guys like me who have been debanked,” Donald Trump Jr. said

    I had to look up “debanked”. Admitting to it has to be the financial equivalent of telling people you are a registered sex offender.

      No no no, he didn’t say “debanked” he said “Deutsch Banked.” As in, “I’m such a liability that the only financial institution that will work with me is shady Russian money laundering Deutsch Bank.”

      What he means is he’s trying to funnel his wealth into assets that aren’t regulated and may be difficult to seize.

      You know, to hide his money from the victims that he owes hundreds of millions to for his criminal behavior.

    Oh, now I should get into crypto. I’ve just been waiting for someone publicly convicted of multiple counts of fraud to start up a platform so I can pour all my money into that.

    We all know how this is going to end, right?

    He’ll get his fans to buy his shitty token, and maybe even keep custody on his platform. Then if he loses the election, he’s gonna flee to Russia via Venezuela, while pulling the rug out from under all those “investors” and taking it all. Then he will publically state that Harris must have directed the NSA to hack his site. He can live out his remaining time in Russia as a wanna-be oligarch, and Putin will treat him like a leader-in-exile.

      Yep. Except that’s only until he runs his mouth and has a tragic fall from a window.

      If I where to place a bet, I would say 3 months, tops.

      Honestly think he’d be safer in North Korea. Kim Jong Un could at least see him as an ally of “the world is against us.”

      Putin already views Trump as a puppy that makes messes on the carpet… while running a dog fighting ring.

    It seems they’re missing out on a memorable marketing campaign: Deploracoin! 100 Deploracoins = 1 Deplorabill.
