You know, there actually isn’t any law of nature that prevents a Democrat - even Joe Biden! even Kamala Harris! - from going out and saying “The new president is launching a fraudulent investment scam days before entering office and should be considered fundamentally disqualified for this position”
Holy shit I assumed this was more NFTs but it’s specifically a *fungible* asset meaning he’s selling his own crypto coin. On top of that, it has a crazy fucking disclaimer and all the hallmarks of a fucking rugpull. This is fucking nuts.
