“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.
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.
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.”
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.
Hate to break it to you but this is not remotely close to being the first example of that happening.
Yeah! They missed investing with several known fraudsters already. Sure is lucky that yet another one is here to fill the gap!
And with Trump’s stellar success rate with new ventures and all.
You mean you didn’t get your Trump trading card set, Bible or Golden sneakers?
Does he accept unmarked bills?
I’ll buy their crypto with every counterfeit dollar I can find.
I wouldn’t get into crypto, but have you heard about this newfangled thing with the NFTs?
Felon cryptobro 100% speed run.
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.

Win or lose, this is a rugpull.

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.
The fucked up thing is he’ll never leave the US, and he’ll never face consequences.
He can live out his remaining time in Russia as a wanna-be oligarch, and Putin will treat him like a leader-in-exile.
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.
“For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites,” Trump wrote. “It’s time we take a stand — together.”
Do people actually believe for a fraction of a second that Donald Trump of all people is on the side of the average American? And that the way to “take a stand” is with a crypto pump and dump scheme?
Yes. A great many people believe exactly that.
I was going to invest myself, but I already lost $20,000 investing in the NFTs. Best purchase ever.
Yes, some people are uninformed idiots.
People will 100% kill for him. I’ve heard it from my own ears from people around me where I live. We in Canada.
Trump pump and dump.
Trump pump and dump.
Stormy Daniels approves this comment.
Trump Chump Pump n’ Dump
I know this is a crazy ask, but could we maybe have a presidential candidate not openly telling us he’s committing fraud while he’s on the campaign trail?
Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm when he became president. After his presidency, Rosalynn and Jimmy spent their time building affordable housing. Rosalynn passed away last year on November 19. at the age of 96. They were married for 77 years.
Crazy how some people view what a good leader is now…
But the sweaters!
Goddamn it would be so fucking easy to scam maga shitheads if I didn’t have morals
Right? I’d just sell them N-Word Passes and claim “Naw bro, Trump signed them and everything, these are real.”
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.
It is a significant departure from Trump’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies during his stint in the White House when he called bitcoin a scam.
Is it a departure? Trump running a scam seems perfectly in line with his previous stance.
ikr as if scamming isn’t his favorite pastime
He got paid by crypto bros, now he is pro crypto.
He was anti-EV until Elon paid him to care.
If he gets elected Putin will pay him to pull US support from Ukraine.
That’s how he works
People are presuming he used the word “scam” as most people do - with negative connotations - when, Trump being Trump it’s likely that the only negative thing he sees in a “scam” is him not making money from it.
I can use my degree from Trump University and make a boatload of money
only a scammer would do something like thi-
oh right.
Maybe trump is beginning to think he might not win the presidency so he’s got to grift as much as possible while he can.
Next test of the cult… are you fucking people actually about to line up to trust your financial future to dumb dumb eric trump and sniff sniff don Jr?
Personally I hope so. They’re burning the world, it’ll at least be fun to watch them flounder in the process.
Except the Trumps get rich off of it. I don’t know if the stupid people losing out so the rich assholes can gain is ideal for me. I’d rather the stupid people keep their money.
There’s likely some outright criminals who can’t easily send their dirty traceable money into politics directly to buy favors. Seems to me that this helps “solve” that.
I, personally, imagine high odds of a combination of:
- overt intentional crime happening in un-subtle ways
- disallusioned operational staff with no real reason for loyalty
- failure to stop at various “don’t do this or we will get caught” lines
If I were any kind of federal investigator, I would look into this with great interest.
