Trump is promoting his new crypto platform. For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites. It's time we take a stand—together!

• Former president Donald Trump on Thursday promoted a soon-to-launch, Trump Organization crypto platform, “The DeFiant Ones” to his 7.5 million followers on Truth Social.
• “For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites,” Trump wrote. “It’s time we take a stand — together.”
• The post marks the first time the Republican nominee for president has used his personal platform to promote the as yet unactivated digital bank.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday promoted a soon-to-launch, Trump Organization crypto platform, “The DeFiant Ones” to his 7.5 million followers on Truth Social.

“For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites,” Trump wrote. “It’s time we take a stand — together.”




The post marks the first time the Republican nominee for president has used his personal platform to promote the as yet unactivated digital bank. Within minutes, his son Donald Trump Jr., shared the post with his 12 million X followers.

Trump’s post includes a link to a Telegram channel called “The DeFiant Ones,” which had approximately 29,000 followers as of Thursday morning, and climbing.

An Aug. 15 post describes the group chat as “the only official Telegram channel for the Trump DeFi project” which is building “the future of finance.”

Two of Trump’s sons, Eric Trump and and Donald Jr., have spent weeks teasing the forthcoming platform, which Eric recently described as “digital real estate.”

“It’s equitable. It’s collateral anyone can get access to and do so instantly,” Eric told the New York Post earlier this month. “I don’t know if people realize what a shake up that is for the world of banking and finance. I hope we can help change that.”

The Trump brothers have also promoted the project with posts declaring that “decentralized finance is the future” and asking people to “stay tuned for a big announcement.”

They have taken hucksterism to levels never seen before.

The melding of snake oil and the White House.

Love it. Banking on it.

Love it. Banking on it.

No doubt it will do as well as DJT stock and every other business Trump started himself

 

[Harpy Eagle]

So, what could possibly go wrong with putting your money in a non FDIC insured crypto account controlled by the Trump family?

If Trump gets back in it will do well regardless, and I will make a whole lot of money.
If Kramala gets in, I'll sell that night. She is promoting CBDC instead. That will destroy our country.

Some one, somewhere once said, a fool and his money are soon parted.

And you are out to prove them correct.

Never make investment choices base upon your political cult.

I look for business opportunities, and crypto is one of those opportunities. Someone is making money off of crypto, it may as well be me. Right now it is like riding a bucking bronco. If Trump adds his approval, it will legitimize crypto even further and it will go straight up. If Trump makes it a country fiat currency, if you aren't in it now, you won't be able to afford it later.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I took a chance once before based on an election concerning gambling in my state. I bought every piece of property I could get my hands on prior to the election and made enough to retire at 28 when gambling was voted in.
And if Trump gets back in, I am poised to do it again. I have already made my initial crypto investment back so, my money is right back in my pocket. I am playing with block chain money now, not mine, so I have everything to gain, and nothing to lose. This election will determine whether I stay or sell.

Wow, you are like the 3rd person on this forum that retired before 30.

And you choose to spend your time on this forum, how very pathetic

I had nothing to do with it, for the most part. I owned property on the only street that casinos were permitted to build on, in only 3 towns where gambling was allowed. You would not believe what the buildings on Bennett went for. I called Deadwood SD realtors and asked them what to expect if gambling passed, and they told me there would be a six-month frenzy to buy real estate. So I bought everything I could afford. They were right.

As for spending time here, excuse me? I've been here since 2011, and have posted a whopping 25,337 posts. You have been here since 2017 and have posted 112,095 times, you loon.

Indeed, but I am not the one that claims to be a millionaire retired at 28, I am just a working stiff in the accumulation phase working towards retirement using this site to keep the work days more fun

 

[The Irish Ram]

using this site to keep the work days more fun

lol. In that case, your fired!

Nope.

Trump poisoned all ethics and morals in politics laughing at candidates who actually divested themselves of their businesses, often putting them in a blind trust in order to avoid even the perception of conflict of interest

Barron Trump aka: "four wallets" Named as new company's “DeFi visionary”
Trump's campaign can't get in the way of his new grift




Later he extolled the expertise and brilliance of his 18-year-old son Barron, who he said has "four wallets" and is named as the new company's “DeFi visionary” (that stands for decentralized finance.) Trump himself is the “Chief Crypto Advocate" and Trump's oldest sons, the alleged movers and shakers of this deal, are both called “Web3 Ambassadors."


It is unprecedented for a presidential candidate to launch a new business less than two months before the election. As those of you who were around before Trump poisoned all ethics and morals in politics will recall, candidates actually divested themselves of their businesses, often putting them in a blind trust in order to avoid even the perception of conflict of interest. It all seems so quaint now.

Trump's campaign can't get in the way of his new grift

Trump's been getting away with scams, cons and crimes his entire life. Can he wriggle out of his new crypto scheme?

look it up: He is simply terrible at business.

Trump's been getting away with scams, cons and crimes his entire life and always wriggles out of them. A new book by New York Times reporters Ross Beutner and Suzanne Craig called "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered his Father's Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success" says it all about Trump's long history of fraudulent business failures and his unique ability to convince people to keep giving him money anyway. They point out that Trump has had two big financial windfalls in his life, neither of them based on even the slightest talent for business. The first came via his daddy, who bankrolled him for decades with hundreds of millions of dollars and bailed him out repeatedly. He did manage some early success with Trump Tower and...the narcissism really kicked in so he bought into his own hype. He never listened to anyone ever again and virtually everything he touched — casinos, an airline, a football league, buildings in Chicago, a development for the world's tallest building in Manhattan, money-losing golf resorts, all of it — failed.

The second windfall came from "The Apprentice" which was picked up by NBC at a moment when Trump badly needed money. The illusion of wealth the show sold to America helped Trump cash in with an exclusive product placement deal that brought in a ton of money. (He even cheated his collaborator Mark Burnett, the producer who created the show, but they were all making money so they just let him do it.) Trump's personal licensing deals — the steaks, the vodka, the ties etc. — apparently never made much money, however.

That has nothing to do with endorsing crypto.

Meanwhile Harris promotes government control of the economy.

I strongly suggest every member of the Trump cult invest in the Trump family's crypto.

Like his DJT stock.
