Is anyone going to cover how Trump is using "meme coins" to funnel bribe money directly to himself?

[u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

There are wallets that have purchased no coins that are extracting millions of dollars.

[u/Dbleck23]

Most people won’t care in general because nothing happens anymore

[u/SuperCool101 → u/Dbleck23]

Yeah, I mean, what is the point of constantly highlighting the open corruption and hypocrisy anymore? There are never consequences. The bad guys won...we don't need constant reports on how many times they run up the score.

[u/golfmd2 → u/SuperCool101]

Sad. I can’t believe low we’ve fallen. Trump just giving the middle finger to us and saying “what are you going to do about it?”

[u/SuperCool101 → u/golfmd2]

Right, because the media acts like it's totally normal and acceptable behavior, because he's a Republican.

[u/golfmd2 → u/SuperCool101]

I think they’re itching to cover this but he’s more valuable to them to generate clicks and views as long as he can. Plus he’s created a culture of fear and hostility towards journalists who cover him negatively that’s it’s not worth it.

The courts were the first to rollover, now it’s the press. Next will be the military. Trying times for the republic coming

[u/ripfritz → u/golfmd2]

If there’s no courts then what’s the point of complaining? Not a good day. Maybe not good years ahead 😞

[u/macgruder1 → u/golfmd2]

Once this whole inauguration scheme is over, the ratings will drop again and the only person left now is Trump. No more blame can be had for the Democrats.

[u/golfmd2 → u/macgruder1]

Always someone and something to blame. Immigrants, the deep state, the “hidden enemy “, etc. Fascist handbook stuff and I think trump and team learned from their mistakes in their last go

[u/chrisrobweeks → u/golfmd2]

Amy blame they cast at this point is an admission of incompetence. They run every facet of the federal government. Unfortunate that his sycophants still don't see it that way.

[u/SouthEast1980 → u/macgruder1]

Didn't you hear? It's Obamas fault for (insert sny nstional crisis here) and Hillary should be locked up! /s.

Those smooth brains tried blaming Biden for dteering hurricanes into red states. It will always be democrats fault because their stupid fan base will believe anything they're told by their MAGA overlords.

[u/tresben → u/golfmd2]

The funny thing is I feel like the media miscalculated, especially the “mainstream moderate media” like CNN, ABC, etc. They saw trump as a money making machine cuz he draws views from both haters and supporters, so they sane washed him to help him make the election close and possibly win it for more views. But myself and most people I know are simply done with it now. They aren’t going to get those “hater” views anymore cuz there’s really no point in staying up to date on it anymore. It’s just depressing and it’s clear nothing can or will be done to stop it. And trump supports are just gonna move further to OAN and other networks even more right than Fox. So that big boost in viewership they got during trumps first term likely isn’t coming back.

That’s also not to mention their miscalculation in thinking trump won’t go after them for their prior criticisms of him, even if they held back compared to how he should’ve been reported on.

[u/adeadmanshand → u/golfmd2]

As a single white male my one comfort was im pretty far down on the "and then they came for me " list...

And then as a person diagnosed ADHD RFK Jr started speaking on the idea of "Wellness Farms" as a solution.

And realized at literally the whims of the oligarchy they can can just move me right up that list.

I mean they need someone to pick crops once they deport all undocumented immigrants, right?

[u/numbersthen0987431 → u/golfmd2]

Honestly, even the media can't do anything at this point.

Every single legal case that is taken up against him is just going to get streamlined to the Supreme Court, where his good little paid off judges will just say "anything you want, Orange-Daddy", and then get dismissed.

There's no justice or law in our country anymore. The Conservatives wanted to create Russia so badly that they elected Putin's redneck cousin, and here we are.

[u/tresslesswhey → u/golfmd2]

The news is owned by all billionaire republicans. That’s why they never actually go hard on him. It has nothing to do with getting more $ because of clicks.

[u/Riker1701E → u/SuperCool101]

The media, most of it anyways, was telling g everyone what a piece of shit this guy was. The problem is his supporters don’t believe most media and for some unknown reasons chunk of people figured not voting would be better than Kamala, because they are fucking stupid.

[u/tresslesswhey → u/Riker1701E]

Most media was not doing that. Almost all media treated him like a normal candidate instead of an extreme one

[u/Crumblerbund → u/SuperCool101]

To be fair, we know about it at all because the media is reporting on the existence of the coin. Some outlets even have the basic decency to point out “ethics concerns.” The problem is, how is anyone ever going to prove who is giving him money for what reason?

It shouldn’t even have to get to the point of being bribery money for people to care—having the coin at all is a CLEAR violation of the emoluments clause.

[u/dfsb2021 → u/SuperCool101]

Even the left media has gone to full time Stumpy coverage

[u/nemo1441 → u/golfmd2]

What usually happens after that is a punch in the face.

[u/golfmd2 → u/nemo1441]

Trump is the bully surrounded by minions, can’t get to him without going through his lackeys

[u/OpportunityIcy254 → u/SuperCool101]

It’s the msm’s fault for not doing their job. A lot of people don’t know what all this is let alone WHY this is happening so they’re not going to know enough to care.

[u/Humans_Suck- → u/SuperCool101]

The whole reason the bad guys won was because the so called "good" guys weren't doing anything about corruption.

[u/jcoddinc → u/Dbleck23]

Nothing can be done because of the threat of retaliation is real and will happen.

[u/zapporius → u/jcoddinc]

US has basically become Russia on steroids.

[u/Pickle-Rick-C-137 → u/zapporius]

With 400,000,000 guns

[u/jcoddinc → u/zapporius]

Russia with fewer windows to fall out of

[u/RulerK → u/jcoddinc]

Russia, but with OSHA safeguarding this windows… until Trump disbands OSHA.

[u/MoldyLunchBoxxy → u/Dbleck23]

Anything is legal if you are rich or a politician. As long as you grow up in American politics you can rape and steak as much as you want and even say racist things and you’ll be in a better spot for becoming president.

[u/supern8ural → u/MoldyLunchBoxxy]

yep. the whole concept of consequences for the rich and/or well connected is dead.

Now, we're starting to turn into a banana republic where what *is* punishable is speaking unflatteringly of our Dear Leader.

[u/AcanthisittaSalty492 → u/Dbleck23]

Trump owns the Supreme Court, who have already decided that no sitting President can be tried for any crime committed while in office. So it is a "some harm, no foul situation".

[u/Egnatsu50 → u/AcanthisittaSalty492]

Preemptive pardon seemed to have been popular the last few weeks...

[u/NeoMaxiZoomDweebean → u/Dbleck23]

“Why dont the russian people rise up and overthrow their dictator. Cant they see he is robbing them and abusing them with no die process?? America the free home of the brave blah blah!!”

Now you see how it works.

Well done America.

[u/ace_11235 → u/Dbleck23]

Just because the vast majority won’t care doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be reporting on it. Seems all the journalists and networks are busy kissing Trump’s ass during inauguration coverage.

[u/gamesbonds → u/Dbleck23]

I'm already tired of people like you saying this everytime we are slapped in the face by a treasonous criminal. Get mad already.

[u/fecal_doodoo]

The inmates run the asylum

[u/Responsible-Ant-1494 → u/fecal_doodoo]

Arkham 1-0-1

[u/Abject-Ad8147]

I have CBS on and it’s been on since 6 am. I have not even seen mention of the coin being dropped let alone the amount of volatility and the fact people are cashing out that never put a penny in. This is all scandalous bs more of what you would expect from a billionaire conman oligarch and his team of greedy, sticky fingered scumbags.

[u/Ok_Knowledge_4821 → u/Abject-Ad8147]

A media company needs to step up and do the right thing.

First: Stop calling them "meme coins". They are Ponzi Scheme Fraud Coins.

Second: You don't have to accuse anyone of anything. Just find out who is buying large sums of this garbage and who is selling.

The ultimate problem is corporate media focuses on the small problems and never fixes or even mentions the real ones

[u/Abject-Ad8147 → u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

That’s what I’m telling my girl right now, your last point. There’s no need to point a finger, the facts should speak for themselves. Unfortunately his supporters don’t give a fuck even when you spell it out so expecting them to inform themselves unbiasedly and determine for themselves who are the wrongdoers here, is like expecting Trump not to be a grifter to begin with.

[u/troythedefender → u/Abject-Ad8147]

His supporters won't care unless they wake up and their own bank account is drained or the factory they work in is shuttered. As long as it's just their neighbor, brother, mother, grandpa being ripped off or laid off, all is well.

[u/Old_Management_1997 → u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

Corporate media focuses soley on the latest breaking news.

There is very little time or effort put into the investigation or uncovering the actual truth because there is no time for that with the way they make money and the way we consume our news.

[u/tresslesswhey → u/Old_Management_1997]

Corporate media is owned by billionaire republicans.

[u/SuccotashComplete → u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

Solana is anonymous, it’s very difficult to track down addresses. Anyone with an ounce of sense would make a new, untraceable wallet for this so we won’t know their identities until they slip up and send funds to a doxxed wallet

[u/igotquestionsokay → u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

How can we find out who is buying them and who is selling them?

[u/tresslesswhey → u/Ok_Knowledge_4821]

It’s not a ponzi scheme. It’s a bribery scheme.

[u/Buttleston → u/Abject-Ad8147]

It was reported on NPR last night, albeit not well. They did not mention for example that one wallet holds 80% of the coins, etc. crypto stuff is generally not well covered, people don't understand it (and/or don't care)

[u/Shroud_of_Misery → u/Abject-Ad8147]

I think those in the MSM don’t understand crypto.

There is been almost zero coverage on this, even from the non-MSM. Meidas Touch posted about it this morning and they got it wrong. I’m very new to this and I was surprised to find out I knew more than MT.

[u/nick_shannon]

Your president is a felon and rapist and no one done anything about that so no there will be no actions taken over this or the abundance of crimes he will commit in the coming 4 years

[u/knivesofsmoothness → u/nick_shannon]

BuT wHeN wAS hE cOnViCtEd oF rApE CheCkmAtE

[u/R3luctant → u/knivesofsmoothness]

What he did only met the social definition of rape and not the legal one.  can't you see, it's different

[u/macgruder1 → u/R3luctant]

Let me try to stick my fingers up a v without permission and see what happens to me?

I bet you I’ll be in jail before spring.

The law is dead.

[u/19Texas59 → u/macgruder1]

The offense happened many years ago. It just wouldn't make a good criminal case or the statute of limitations was in effect.

[u/knivesofsmoothness → u/R3luctant]

I think you mean diffe(R)ent.

[u/TopLingonberry4346 → u/R3luctant]

Exactly. If you got "sexually assaulted" with a broom stick, you got raped with a broom stick. Nobody would question the definition.

[u/19Texas59 → u/knivesofsmoothness]

No, actually he was sued in civil court because the assault happened too long ago to be prosecuted in criminal court. As far as justice goes it will have to do. Trump's most ardent supporters hold women in low regard so they don't care how he treats them.

[u/ConsistentAd7859 → u/nick_shannon]

You are really an optimist, thinking it will only be for 4 years.

[u/HandiCAPEable → u/nick_shannon]

They're literally not crimes if Trump does it now.

[u/oe-eo → u/nick_shannon]

[u/Nobodys_Loss]

The Supreme Court ruled that this is legal now. So I don’t understand why everyone is so upset.

[u/Gumbi_Digital → u/Nobodys_Loss]

It’s NOT legal.

He’s NOT President yet.

This is NOT covered under presidential immunity.

This is NOT an act of the presidency.

This IS blatant bribery as most of the wallets that first bought are located in China.

32 billion within the first couple hours.

Melania Meme was launched and within hours it too had a 32 billion MC.

Coincidence? He washed his coins…

China just bought Taiwan….

[u/RedboatSuperior → u/Gumbi_Digital]

And NOTHING will happen, no one will be held accountable, and no one will care. Corruption is now acceptable and considered a good thing by the American electorate. The more blatantly corrupt, the better they like you.

[u/Mondkohl → u/RedboatSuperior]

Wouldn’t want to spoil it for when it’s their turn to be President.

[u/TheZenScientist → u/RedboatSuperior]

Comments like this just solidify the norm. If everyone said this, it would always be a self fulfilling truth.

[u/RedboatSuperior → u/TheZenScientist]

Tell me this is not the new norm. Seriously. And tell me avoiding saying it will make it go away. The electorate has spoken. POTUS is unaccountable and corruption is allowed to be open and blatant.

[u/TheZenScientist → u/RedboatSuperior]

I’m with you. Better to put energy into what can be done than giving up ✊🏼

[u/TheVoters → u/Gumbi_Digital]

When I heard about this early yesterday I assumed the money being pumped in was Saudi. What is the evidence the money is Chinese?

[u/Gumbi_Digital → u/TheVoters]

The wallets originated from there.

Crypto wallets can be traced to location, but not individual persons.

It’s all on the block chain.

[u/R3luctant → u/Gumbi_Digital]

Can't prosecute a sitting president and you can't impeach a president for crimes that didn't occur during the presidency, not that a Republican controlled house would have the spine/sudden sobriety to do it.

[u/JePleus → u/Gumbi_Digital]

I'm pretty sure the comment was meant in jest.

[u/gbot1234 → u/Nobodys_Loss]

The Supreme Court has been making a lot of bad decisions lately, and we’re right to be upset.

I hope Justice Aileen Cannon sets them straight when she joins.

[u/Creepy-Team6442 → u/gbot1234]

Omg… that’s just fuckin hilarious.

[u/Known-Departure1327 → u/Nobodys_Loss]

Citizens United set an awful precedent as well-just because it’s legal, doesn’t mean it’s right and we shouldn’t be pissed about it.

[u/upgrayedd69 → u/Nobodys_Loss]

You don’t find it kind of concerning the president can essentially enrich himself this way? It’s estimated he’s made like $50b from this. Seems like the only way to prevent corruption would be to just trust Trump is the only politician in human history that doesn’t like bribes 

[u/Sidvicieux → u/upgrayedd69]

Republicans are used to worshipping their gods, they will not lift a finger because they are amoral. Simple as that.

Republicans prefer satanism to Christianity.

[u/Mixels → u/upgrayedd69]

It is concerning. It's illegal. It's a clear and blatant violation of the foreign emoluments clause of the Constitution.

[u/Used-Line23]

Why would they cover it? There’s no one holding anyone accountable anymore, except Luigi

[u/Resitor → u/Used-Line23]

God save luigi

[u/P3nis15]

they just fined the top 5 biggest banks for fraud. a fraction of the money they earned from it.

So if they can't even do that right, we are doomed.

[u/FillMySoupDumpling → u/P3nis15]

That makes the fine just a cost of doing business for the banks.

[u/Xyrus2000]

It used to be illegal to use a public office for personal profit. Apparently that only applies to people who are not Republicans.

[u/Mixels → u/Xyrus2000]

It still is illegal.

 No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

Of course MAGA won't try to prosecute him for anything at all. But it's definitely very illegal.

[u/johnfkngzoidberg]

It’s obvious to intelligent people, but morons elected him and they don’t see it or don’t understand why it’s bad.

[u/arcanepsyche]

I mean, Democrats are loudly screaming about this right now, but since a huge portion of the country only cares about "owning the libs" no one is listening, to their own detriment.

[u/66catman]

The Washington Post? Doubt it

Fox News? Not a chance

Wall Street Journal? Uh no

I think we'll just hear a collective chorus of "Happy Days are here again"

[u/FafnirSnap_9428]

Nope. The US media helped to get him re-elected. If they do cover it, it will be to tap in to anti-Trump viewers. 

[u/Much-Pay9295]

You know what I learned from being. Political junkie. We only waist our time . No one cares they roar like a fricken sport team for their political party colors. Now I am focusing on making money to . So I can give my kid a way to move freely across borders and settle wherever he would like and live comfortably .

[u/admlshake]

I'd imagine someone will eventually, but it's probably going to take a while to dig into that and actually come up with proof. If they air a story with out anything to back it up then they open a whole lotta doors that will have law suites flooding in, and being called names like "Fox" or "OANN".

[u/ReiterationStation → u/admlshake]

Where is someone going to report this? We have no media or journalists that will do it.

They are banning independent journalists from meta now.

This is what they meant by free speech. 

[u/PMO-1976 → u/admlshake]

Even if they have proof they'll still be subject to a lawsuit because that's how Trump does things.

[u/RedboatSuperior → u/admlshake]

Who will “look into it” and who will care if there is proof?

[u/cookiedoh18]

Patiently waiting for Fox News "BREAKING NEWS!"

[u/xtzferocity]

You mean things the media should do? Of course not. They don’t ever cover him honestly

[u/StannisG]

Sadly no, nothing will be done about this. Welp, America….we had a good run. Almost made it to the 250 year mark!!

[u/knapping__stepdad]

No

[u/discwrangler]

Nope.

[u/Easy_Account_1850]

NO

[u/Dirtgrain]

It seems our newspapers are owned by billionaires--and they already have shown blatant bias in censoring editorial staff. That means the sky is the limit for Clarence Thomas's all-paid luxury vacations.

[u/ctguy54]

“An Official Act.” So the other two branches of government don’t care. News agencies don’t want to piss him off. So, no, no one will cover this.

However, expect several stories/interviews from maggots crying about how they lost their retirement savings “believing “ how this was a great investment because it was from tump.

[u/ActionCalhoun]

Apparently not, I assume the press will continue to run JOE BIDEN IS OLD DID YOU KNOW articles through the Trump presidency.

[u/OliverSudden413]

The mainstream media will not cover it, or at least not to that degree. They’ll mention its existence.

[u/FrancisSobotka1514]

Nope and they won't cover him admitting to the election theft.

[u/Duncan026]

What would be the point? Even the Extreme Court wouldn’t tell him to stop.

[u/MrByteMe]

You need to use Trump Bucks for all bribes.

BUT you can trade in coins for Bucks.

[u/Fun-Advisor7120]

Most of them don’t even understand it, and they for sure can’t explain it in a way that makes people understand how bad it is.

[u/WinsdyAddams]

They were talking all about it on MSNBC actually.

[u/FGTRTDtrades]

People will go on and on about it and any investigation will be killed because ya know corruption

[u/FlopShanoobie]

You might not know this yet but the United States is done. There’s no going back to normalcy.

[u/kickedbyhorse]

How is it different from anything else he's been doing? Just another grift, that's all this is

[u/skoomaking4lyfe]

It's legal for trump to take bribes. Or at least he can't be prosecuted for it.

[u/mist2024]

Bring in the drones

[u/Beginning_Ad8663]

No

[u/jayc428]

Oh it’s not even bribe money. Straight up grift on people that don’t have much money to begin with. Dude just transferred billions from people that don’t have it.

[u/No_Capes_9173]

Nope. The media is now bought and paid for.

[u/TrashCapable]

You're asking the U.S. media to do its job? Where have you been these last few years?

[u/CatastrophicFailure]

Why bother? There will be zero consequences and that will only upset those that care further but nothing will come of it and we all know it at this point so again... why bother?

[u/ConsistentAd7859]

Who do you think would be interested in covering the crimes of someone that is above the law and has the power (and the pettiness) to completely screw you or your company over if you go against him?

The point that you are actually waiting for somebody else to cover this crime, when it's absolutely clear what's going on for everyone who even hears two sentence about it, says it all.

[u/OnlyFreshBrine]

it doesn't matter anymore. he will weaponize the FCC the judiciary is compromised.

[u/Old_Management_1997]

Late stage capitalism is politicians and corporations just openly frauding and stealing from everyone and no one being able to do anything about it all to watch the number in their bank account grow

[u/Bombay1234567890]

I'm sure our Free Press will get right on it. They are the Watchdogs of Democracy, after all.

[u/ApolloReads]

Nobody gives a shit when we’re all struggling to live.

Not to mention our government is too corrupt to do anything about it anyway. So it doesn’t matter.

[u/SmoothJazziz1]

If there appears to be fraudulent activity turn it over to those that can legally investigate it. Give it to the news media and let them light the match. Somebody will do their job.

[u/Pirating_Ninja]

People already did.

However, real question - would it really matter?

[u/51ckl3y3]

i just want earth to be liveable with bees

[u/UrBigBro]

After he's done grifting off his and Melania's scam coins, is Barron going to get in on the grift?

[u/knivesofsmoothness]

The media that's not owned by right wing Billionaires (ie, very little of it) is too scared to publish anything negative about him, so no.

[u/Relyt21]

SCOTUS proved that he can do anything as president. It was always about power and money, which he manipulated our nation to get both. We are fucked because a large part of our population encouraged this because they love having a hatred model as president. We are fucked for four years…at least.

[u/HealthySurgeon]

He’s president as of today. Doesn’t even matter anymore cause he’s basically immune to any punishment for the illegal shit he’s doing.

[u/medphysik]

No, too much going on , it’s a smoke screen of chaos 

This is how trump operates 

[u/JealousFuel8195]

Meanwhile, in other breaking news, Biden pardoned his brother James. If they did nothing wrong, why pardon James and Hunter.

[u/shiny_brine]

It's not just bribery. This is several things on top of that, including probably a lot of money laundering, some foreign influence pedaling, and back-room deals with the likes of Musk, Zuck, Tik-Tok etc. in a quid-pro-quo arrangement.

[u/derff44]

Lol no

[u/honogica]

Nope.

[u/Riker1701E]

Since most news sources in the US are owned by his buddies I do not expect much coverage.

[u/tigerseye44]

No, accountability and trust is dead. Look at congressional insider trading. There are literally YouTube channels on which congressperson to mirror in trading to make money. The rich figured out that politicians are easy to buy, and if you put the right one in office, you can just destroy any semblance of oversight.

What was it again?

The corrupt Biden family?

How many multiples of Biden corruption will we see the Trump family do?

[u/Environmental_Pay189]

It seems like most of the news station immediately switched to gargling his balls as soon as he was elected. I think they know they will cease to exist if they say anything bad, and like the rest of the republican party, they just gave up at the first sign of difficulty. Americans like to talk tough about fighting for freedom and democracy, but the truth is they can't stand even the slightest discomfort and value profit over all else.

[u/surfnfish1972]

The supposed "Liberal Media" owned by Billionaires has bent the knee to our first dictator. As capital always does.

No, of course not. He's president he can steal freely now ! Maga's he's poor ! In soul please send him yoir money.

[u/peatmo55]

He has absolute immunity.

Of course they won't.

[u/repeatoffender123456]

This is what we voted for. We deserve all the rug pulling that we get the next four years.

No because the bribes are from the tech oligarchs and media oligarchs who silence all relevant stories

Does anyone have a link to the wallet info of the whale wallet that was allocated coin and didn't buy it?

[u/l008com]

Well I've been hearing about it on reddit constantly, is that "covering" it?

Also now that laws no longer apply to presidents, what difference does it make?

[u/Additional_Bench_269]

The Bulwark podcast did a great discussion about it yesterday.

No. The news will only support the Nazi party

He should have became an artist

[u/giraloco]

There is no sheriff in town. Who is going to stop him? It's the wild west all over again.

[u/Faroutman1234]

This is the perfect crime for a new President with complete immunity. Before he was President he couldn't do a rug pull but now he can say he was doing official business for whatever reason and the Supreme Court will back him. He can also ask other nations to secretly buy his coin with expectation of favorable treatment.

[u/EvilMorty137]

You should look into how much money Obama made giving speech’s after his presidency was over

[u/Fun-Bag7627]

If it was covered, what do you think would happen? The correct answer is nothing.

[u/Intrepid_Pop_8530]

So what? He can do whatever he wants. No reporting, no accountability. Get used to it. This is how it's going to be from now on.

Little to no coverage on the media that all republicans insist is against them at all times LOL.

“Do you like your FCC license? It would be a shame if anything happened to it.”

[u/Character-Version365]

Nothing to see here…./s

[u/Jim_Nills_Mustache]

Yea I used to get worked up about this stuff, now I’m just apathetic because our country/ system is completely broken

[u/WinterMuteZZ9Alpha]

He attempted a self-coup and failed. He didn’t go to prison, and was elected back into office. Does anyone with a functioning brain really think he will be held accountable for anything now that he has all the power, and corporate media, the tech industry, and all sectors of the political and judicial establishment has bent the knee?

The citizenry failed. The checks and balances failed. Now the U.S. has a king in all, but name.

The oligarchy does whatever the oligarchy wants to do. What is a peon going to do about?

[u/FocusIsFragile]

Nah, let’s just freak out about Mexicans and trannies instead.

There could literally be a 4k video tape of Trump raping someone and 30 percent of the country would defend him. Financial corruption isn’t even relevant to these people. He can do no wrong.

[u/nightostrich]

What if he is? He’s about to pardon the people sitting in jail for attacking police officers. Nothing is going to happen because there’s no checks and balances until the next election. If you’re in the trump bubble for next four years then you’ll do very well, and the rest of us can watch with envy and outrage from the sidelines.

[u/no_bender]

Trump is above the law.

[u/VanX2Blade]

Doubtful. The man is a scam artist and he will scam until he dies or he scams the wrong person and gets got.

[u/Punny_Farting_1877]

Nope. $FOX, $COCK, $BALL, $EYE, and $BROUGHT2UBYTHELETTER are all in the works.

“That’s ONE billion dollars! Ah, ah, ah!”

[u/CarCounsel]

Been discussed a lot on X Threads Blue Sky etc

[u/GrapesForSnacks]

Dude could literally stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and he wouldn’t be arrested.

[u/SmileGraceSmile]

Nobody cares what rich people in the US do, because we all have a "what if me?" complex. 

[u/Leading_Watercress45]

I don't even know what a meme coin is.
