Tired of having to pretend to give to a super pac? Now, just buy a president direct.

    Meh. This stuff is not much different from commemorative plates or coins. I got on of those Trump/KimJongUn coins because it was funny. Typical boomer grifting for the modern age.

      This isn’t just some bullshit memento fundraiser like commemorative coins. This isn’t just for Bob and Sue to drop $20 on. This enables him to collect his $1 million extortion from whoever he wants - some Saudi prince can pump this thing knowing trump will be the one pulling the rug and collecting that money. The chinese government can put money in it in exchange for allowing tiktok to continue and noone will ever know that fact. This is a funnel for all sorts of shady funding large and small and they’re doing it out in the open posing as a sketchy pump and dump that’s magically doing spectacularly.

      Completely different. No regulation and direct opening to the U.S.President from anyone in the world. That feels different from plates and coins.
