Trump's Meme Coin Scheme

Donald Trump has launched a new cryptocurrency associated with dinners where investors can pay for the opportunity to meet him. This meme coin has experienced a surge in value, reportedly rising over 60% after its introduction, suggesting a speculative market built around exclusivity and access to Trump himself. Critics argue that this venture resembles other dubious financial operations he has been involved in, leveraging his political status for personal financial gain. Trump's previous skepticism about cryptocurrencies appears to have shifted due to the increasing financial support he received from the crypto industry during the election cycle.
