$TRUMP meme coin, that Trump launched to “have fun ” is turning into a lucrative business with more than $320 million made by trading in the coin.

The Trump family holds 80% of them. The rest ? Well many of them are foreign donors .....ooops I mean investors .
Foreign Interests Appear to Be Pouring Millions Into Trump’s Meme Coin (https://nz.news.yahoo.com/foreign-interests-appear-pouring-millions-144016334.html)


Among the major holders of the Trump meme coin, more than half come from foreign trading platforms that claim to ban U.S. users, indicating that many buyers are from outside the United States.......
Currently, an analysis by Bloomberg shows that among the top 25 holders registered on the website leaderboard, all but 6 are using foreign trading platforms that claim not to accept U.S. residents. Among the top 220 holders on the leaderboard, at least 56% are using similar offshore trading platforms.

I was critical of the Biden crime family's pay to play . To be consistent I have to call out Trump for the same.

The top 220 investors will win the right to dine with Trump where probably the quid pro quo will be discussed.

But that is just a slice of the pie.

Last fall Trump and family launched World Liberty Financial. It has raised $550 million since . Eric and Donald Jr are active managers . It was cofounded by Zach Witkoff, son of Trump Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff .

In fact the principles list of the company is loaded with Trump and Witkoff names.

Chris Murphy 🟧 on X: "Today I’m introducing a bill - the MEME Act - to ban a President or Member of Congress from issuing a meme coin. The Trump Coin is the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the White House. @RepLiccardo and I are determined to put an end to this corruption - for good. https://t.co/nQL9ZfIYYV" / X (https://x.com/ChrisMurphyCT/status/1919719580080955807)

So does the NY Post editorial board

No, Pres. Trump: Qatar's 'Palace in the Sky' Jet isn't a 'free gift' — and you shouldn't accept it as one (https://nypost.com/2025/05/12/opinion/no-pres-trump-qatars-palace-in-the-sky-jet-isnt-a-free-gift-and-you-shouldnt-accept-it-as-one/)
