    Vance can’t get anything right. Failed here with Iran, and then the candidate he campaigned for last week in Hungary (weird I know), lost today.

    I guess promising mass pardons means you know you’re gonna need them.

    Days before the inauguration, the Trump family sold nearly half of its World Liberty Financial crypto business to a UAE government-linked company run by a member of the UAE royal family for $500 million.

    A second UAE entity, a government fund, invested in the offshore cryptocurrency exchange Binance using $2 billion worth of a digital currency called a stablecoin issued by World Liberty. That allowed the Trump company that received the dollars to put it in safe investments such as bonds or money market funds and keep the tens of millions of dollars in interest for itself.

    Shortly after, the Trump administration reversed a Biden-era restriction and granted the UAE access to advanced U.S. chips. Binance’s founder, Changpeng Zhao, later got a pardon from Trump, despite having pleaded guilty to failing to stop criminals from using his platform to move money connected to child sex abuse, drug trafficking and terrorism.

    World Liberty has also provided a separate income stream to a new Trump limited liability corporation through sales of “governance tokens” that give owners certain voting rights in its business, though not equity stakes, raising $2 billion last year. That translates into hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trumps through their World Liberty ownership stake and a separate side deal allowing them a cut of these sales.

    One big token investor was Justin Sun, a cryptocurrency billionaire who as a foreign citizen would be banned under U.S. law from making political donations to U.S. politicians. Between Trump’s election and inauguration, Sun spent $75 million on the tokens.

    In February last year, a federal lawsuit charging Sun with duping investors was paused before being settled last month for a $10 million fine.

    Then there are the souvenir-type “meme” coins stamped with Trump’s face that went on sale days before he took the oath of office last year.

    Over the next four months, the coins generated $320 million, mostly going to Trump-related entities, according to blockchain tracker Chainalysis. That is more than double the money collected in four years running his Washington D.C. hotel in Trump’s first term.

    Unlike the lobbyists or campaign donors trying to influence Trump, the coin buyers can buy anonymously. One who chose to make his purchase public was Sun, who spent $200 million on the coins and got access to Trump at a gala party he held for the biggest buyers.

    Another family cryptocurrency business, American Bitcoin went public in September, giving Donald Jr. and Eric about $1 billion in paper wealth at that time. Months earlier, their father announced a new national bitcoin reserve, sending the price for the cryptocurrency soaring to a record.

    The Trump businesses aren’t completely immune to crypto’s notorious volatility. The value of bitcoin and other digital tokens have since plunged and rattled investors. Both American Bitcoin stock and the value of Trump’s souvenir meme coins have collapsed 90% from their highs.

    Last month, Trump announced he would hold another dinner with new top holders of his meme coins, giving the coin a boost before it fell back again.

    “Whatever constraints there were in the first term appear to have completely disappeared,” says Columbia University historian Timothy Naftali. “Do you want future presidents to be open to the highest bidder?”

    truly offensive to compare himself to God, like not even a funny joke

    At this point its therapy for these losers left who support trump right? Like it doesnt matter what trump says or does, they feel emotional comfort in supporting and defending him. Idk it seems that way with the few remaining dudes I know that are still on his balls

    "Kind of?"

    No, anything or anyone that supportED this buffoon hit cult status long before he got through to a 2nd term.

    I'm sorry folks, but this entire administration has signaled the imminent doom of the United States as we know it. There will be no going back, period. I hate to say it but, as a historian at heart, this country is actually in a WORSE place than where "we" were prior to the first Civil War. The major difference today vs. then is we have, collectively, lost ALL the foreign support we had back then. Good or bad, right or wrong, there will be no European help coming. Trump saw to that. If I'm any one of these countries the first words out of my mouth is in the form of a question: "What guarantees do we have you foolish Americans will not elect another witless scumbag, like Trump, again in the future?" Based on our current status, the only honest answer can be, "none." There are no guarantees and we can't state as much. Any answer, other than none, would be a lie and I think a whole lot of people are tired of the "lying Americans."

    Trump has fucked the global economy, impacted billions of people, not Americans, and he shows no signs of stopping. Unlike the French Revolution, I don't see a mob of people storming the White House to chop his head off on the lawn either. Face it, Americans are too comfortable in their complacency to do anything RATIONAL like that. The man deserves to be executed along with at least half his administration for the shit they have pulled. That's a fact. I'd really love to ask the folks he's killed or have been killed due to his deeds, policy et. al. but, unfortunately, those poor souls will never see REAL RETRIBUTION. Unlike the fucking joke of shit this "orange bitch" peddles on a daily basis.

    At the end of the day, I avoid EVERYONE whom I know supports his ass and I've become very good at identifying the ones I do not know. For the own safety, and my freedom, I stay far away. I know "me" and I'll slap the fucking eyeballs out their heads if I ever get the chance. And I'm not alone. As far as I'm concerned, they can all migrate to shitholes, like N/S Dakota, and we can just wall them in. They can set about destroying each other from within. Reality speaking, I am praying some of these states secede because, personally, I want nothing to do with him, them or anyone like them.

    A final piece to my rant above.

    I know it seems like that orange bitch has been in charge forever but I think sometimes people forget, this fucker is, literally, only 1 yr and 3 months into FOUR fucking years! He's barely a quarter of the way through and look at the damage! What WILL we all be saying by the end of 2026? I mean, DAMN!!!!
