S.V. Dáte at HuffPost:

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is taking his efforts to use his office for personal enrichment — the very definition of corruption — to new levels Thursday night, selling face time to those who put money into his bank account by purchasing nearly $200 million worth of his branded souvenir crypto coins. And while Trump will know who has parted with all that cash for the opportunity to spend a few hours to bend his ear, Americans will not — unless they can somehow match real names to monikers like “MeCo,” “CASE, “GAnt” and “REKT.” Those four individuals or organisations, identified only by their usernames and crypto “wallet” addresses, collectively owned 2.7 million $TRUMP coins, worth a total of $38.3 million on Wednesday, based on the $14 price per coin that day. “He’s auctioning off access,” Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Thursday. “It’s corrupt and it’s out there for everyone to see.” Heather Cox Richardson, a Boston College historian, said Trump’s open corruption is unprecedented in American history. “Interestingly, the real financial corruption in an administration is around the president, not usually the president himself,” she said. A White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the crypto coin business “has nothing to do with the White House.”

Anna Kelly, a White House deputy press secretary, denied Trump was doing anything wrong and instead attacked the news media for correctly reporting on his two federal prosecutions, his criminal conviction for falsifying business records and the civil judgment against his company for massive fraud. “President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public, which is why they overwhelmingly reelected him to this office, despite years of lies and false accusations against him and his businesses from the fake news media,” she said. Trump began selling his new tokens three days before his inauguration. The coin, which has zero intrinsic value, soared in price to as high as $75, allowing 58 early buyers to make over $10 million each before the coins plummeted in value. They were selling for about $8 each before Trump announced his contest in late April to award a “gala” dinner at his golf resort in Sterling, Virginia, to the top 220 Trump coin purchasers, based on how much they held on average from Jan. 17 through May 15. The top 25 coin holders would also be invited to a “VIP” reception with Trump before the dinner and then a tour the following day. The contest website originally had promised a White House tour, but subsequently changed the page to delete the White House reference.

[...] The Trump meme coin is just one piece of Trump’s open attempts to use his presidency for his personal gain. While he did the same in his first term through his hotels and golf resorts, he has focused this time around on his various crypto ventures. Indeed, his World Liberty Financial brokerage announced just before Trump’s recent trip to the Middle East that a state-backed firm in the United Arab Emirates was using its “stable” coin for a $2 billion transaction. How much, precisely, Trump is earning through these various schemes may never be known, because — unlike every other president in recent times — he has refused to release his tax returns to the public.

Donald Trump is just as corrupt as he was in his first term, maybe more so this time around.

Chinese Firm Bought Up to $300 Million of $Trump Meme Coin

Have you heard of GD Culture Group? Most likely not, since the Chinese e-commerce firm focusing on TikTok has just eight employees and earned zero revenue last year. Still, though, it found the capital to make as much as a $300 million investment in $TRUMP — the meme cryptocurrency launched by Donald Trump that has no inherent value, except maybe buying access to the president.

In a securities filing made public late on Tuesday, and first reported by the New York Times, GD Culture Group announced it had purchased $300 million of bitcoin and the $TRUMP coin. Despite a staff too small to play a game of baseball, the firm made the purchase with money from a stock sale to an undisclosed interest in the British Virgin Islands, a tax haven designed to make opaque deals such as this.

"I’ve been trying to put into words why I think this is so strange and yet so inevitable too. You know tokenization is weird, because it’s making money more and more a proxy for anything, even just random sentiments. It’s a perfect reflection of how hollow the concept of value has become.  What we’re seeing isn’t just the digitization of assets; it’s the commodification of literal meaning. In some ways, it’s the ultimate form of disconnection from reality.  We’ve reached a point where something can be worth millions purely because it sparks a trend or appeals to a specific crowd, even though it has no tangible use or substance.  Tokenization is becoming a way to sell us our own projections — it’s so cyberpunk and yet almost like some weird graduated marketing — why sell you a thing when I can just sell you the idea of a thing?"

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

Alex Kaplan at MMFA:

Multiple far-right figures — including Stew Peters and Enrique Tarrio — have launched crypto coins since President Donald Trump launched his official coin in January. Some of the figures have directly invoked Trump and his coin as inspiration for launching their own.

Trump launched his crypto coin in January

In January, just days before taking office for his second term, Trump launched his own meme coin, $Trump. By early February, the coin had earned “close to $100 million in trading fees.” In April, the site for the coin announced that some of the coin’s holders could win an “unforgettable Gala DINNER with the President” in May, seemingly causing the coin’s value to go up “by more than 50%, according to CoinMarketCap.” According to an analysis from The Washington Post, “The holders of 27 crypto wallets … each acquired more than 100,000 $TRUMP coins, stakes worth about a million dollars each” after the announcement. [BBC, 1/18/25; Reuters, 2/3/25; CNN, 4/24/25; The Washington Post, 4/24/25]

During Trump’s second term, he has instituted policies friendly to cryptocurrency. In one executive order, Trump reportedly established “a strategic bitcoin reserve for the United States, putting the cryptocurrency on par with petroleum and gold as strategic assets that Washington stockpiles.” [Foreign Policy, 3/7/25]

Right-wing media figures copy Donald Trump’s lead and launch their own crypto coins.
