Congress could have passed legislation, and should have in this arena. Had it done so, I'm not sure it would've affected the transactions that you've noticed. But of course Congress is completely impotent in its present iteration, so it fell to the chief executive.



Yes the same Chief Executive who established a new crypto firm three days before signing the EO

Are we prepared to just concede the point that Trump engaged in grift and double dealing or are we still in denial?

Eh, you might want to pump the brakes there. Like them or not Trump's crew can make money without government graft (which they are certainly doing) and are generally competent. Biden's crew couldn't run a 7/11.


Bro - this meme coin bullshite was a classic pump and dump and nothing more. The Trump's raked in $1.2 bn and his investors lost 85% of their investment. There is no substantive business behind this like in an IPO. Trump just fricked over his most loyal and ardent supporters who fell for this scam. The same people who voted him back into office and stuck with him. You can argue they were stupid and suckers to put their money into it but it doesn't make it any better.

All of this from a sitting President who is in charge of setting financial policy and regulations around crypto. Trump has done a lot of great things but the hypocrisy on this board and willful blindness is wild. It may not be illegal but it's highly unethical at best. If you can't call this for what it is you are as delusional as the prog socialists. This board spent the last four years railing about Biden's corruption but Trump's is OK? You are right about one thing: The Trump's are a lot more savvy at grifting they made more off this deal than Joe did in 50 years in public office.
OP is getting a ton of hate but what is really revealing is the responses in this thread. Same group of cult-like retards who told us we had to vote for Trump because he was a billionaire and couldn't be bought. Trump has always been shady a.f. in business.

Trump, the President, just ran a massive scam on his supporters with this bullshite meme coin. Trump also engaged in straight up pay-for-play in that Kazak mining deal and his nepo baby kids have been double dealing in MIC related deals and front running, trading stocks in a manner that would make Pelosi blush. I won't even touch what his son-in-law Kushner has been up to. Hunter and Joe's corruption is nothing compared to Trump's but he is on our team so I guess its OK.
Springsteen gets all the hate but as a live performer back in his heyday he was better than all three put together,

He was involved in another DUI hit and run in Sonoma wine country two or three years ago and the charges were dropped. .......supposedly to spare Nancy the embarassment because he had a young male companion with him.

57 years ago Brian Jones passed

“Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep —
He hath awakened from the dream of life —
‘Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit’s knife
Invulnerable nothings. — We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay”

Terrion was already struggling.


Wasn't he injured last year and sat out the end of the season. May be a convenient excuse to dump him for cause and not have to pay him?

Not sure about that. A quick Google search says the other bidders were Chinese backed mining rivals



Trump and Lutnik's kids were gifted shares in the mining company that "won" the contract. When Lutnik was negotiating with the President of Kazakstan, Trump personally got on the phone and helped close the deal.
