Back on Friday the 13th (of all days), I noticed that the $TRUMP coin was roaring higher in price. Now by “roaring” I mean it was overall down 97% instead of 99%, but in relative terms, it was blasting higher all the same.
I was curious as to why. Was he stating that he’d pardon any criminal if they bought a certain quantity of $TRUMP coin? Well, no, but close. Incredibly, all the excitement was about the fact that, for the second time, he announced that the top holders of the “investment” would get to enjoy a dinner with his highness. You’ll surely recall this isn’t the first such hawking of a coin for dinner-with-the-POTUS.
What’s astonishing to me, besides the fact that the first dinner was famously pedestrian, is that people fell for it again, even though the results of the last instance quite obviously were short-lived. This time, at least, it seems people have at least not bid up the coin for a week or two more but instead starting dumping it again almost immediately.
