Trump fans confused how their investments in his crypto/Stock are now worth a Fraction

Throughout his second stint in the Oval Office, Donald Trump has raked in over a billion dollars on the backs of his most loyal acolytes. Some of his grifts harken back to the Trump cons of yesteryear, like the spectacularly cringeworthy Trump Mobile smartphone, a "made in America" device that was, predictably, produced entirely in China.
Most of the president's most successful pulls, however, are predicated on either the cryptocurrency market, where winner-take-all scams are the name of the game, or fly-by-night stock offerings that get a temporary boost from the business mogul's endorsement. And as Trump pulls the billion-dollar ladder out from under him time and again, his ride-or-dies are starting to crack.
One superfan, Vadim Fistikan, spoke to Forbes about what it's like to be on the receiving end of a presidential con job. After painstakingly saving over $100,000 to buy a house near his family, Fistikan, a truck driver by trade, got wind of the special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, being built around the president's Truth Social social network.
"I'm like, 'I'm getting in,'" Fistikan told Forbes. At its peak, the trucker's investment in the president's social media firm reached $205,000 — a life-changing amount of money for a working class person in the United States. Today, Fistikan told the publication his investment is worth a dismal $30,000.
"I'm like, 'hey, this is a scam,'" he told Forbes. "And a lot of people were like, 'no, you're just a Trump hater.' I'm like, 'no. I was on board since day one… I'm now broke."

I dare you to answer one simple question:
Did you vote for Kamala Harris?
For once, don't be a coward. Answer the question.

Trump has been enriching himself scamming people for years but people never learn.

No investment works unless you're willing to sell.
You sat there and had a qtr million, in a stock that doesn't represent any type of revenue function, and thought it would go up forever?
Idiot. Bet you still have cabbage patch dolls

"Trump fans"
Those who felt the risk of crypto was worth voluntarily putting in their money?
Now do everyone else who's being forced into paying Social Security which is a known ponzi scheme.

Ole baw shoulda found out what SPAC and IPO stand for before jumping in the market. And with pretty much any investment, you should know when to get out. Vad got greedy.

I couldn't get through the first sentence.

What's the intrinsic value of crypto....and should I sell my Crypto ETF?

Great source on your link. The problem is, anyone with a brain who has the ability to think for themselves automatically knows this is bullshite without even reading the first sentence.
Has the last 12 years taught you idiots anything at all? Hit piece after hit piece after hit piece about Trump and his family proven wrong over and over and over.
In TWELVE frickING YEARS you’ve never considered the fact that you’re being fed bullshite? Not even once??
Of course not, because you people are fricking stupid

Emotion aside, financially speaking only, can anyone inform us on how the Trump meme coin was a sound investment?
Any down votes automatically outs you as a reprobate unworthy of licking Kamala Harris" taint...

I think President Trump is the best president ever and the right man at the right time however, I would never invest in some random fricking crypto coin whether it had his name on it or not.
Hell, I don’t know, do those things ever work out? It sounds risky as hell anyway so anyone who lost their money should not be surprised and it should be money they were able to lose.
If not, they’re a fricking moron and needed to lose that money so maybe they would learn a fricking lesson for once….not.

Any original thoughts on this or just doing a drop & run post?

Regardless who the POTUS is/was, if you bought that crap you deserve to go broke.

Pipe dream...not going to happen. None of the dims will directly answer a challenging question....never.
I will answer for him/her/it/they/them/other/cocksucker, yes "it" voted for The Potato in 2020 and Cackles on 2024 and cannot give a reason why other than "well, because".

Because it was a pump and dump. He shouldn't have did it, but it's totally legal.
