Michael Cohen - Presidential Seal Now Accepts Meme Coins

You’ve got to hand it to President Trump; he’s managed to turn the presidency into the most profitable reality show in American history, and now, he’s added cryptocurrency to his grift portfolio. The man has gone from steaks, vodka, and fake universities to meme coins, and in true Trumpian fashion, he’s cloaking corruption in the MAGA flag and calling it patriotism.

Let me paint the picture for you: tuxedos, luxury SUVs, and a former NBA star with a meme coin to peddle. Welcome to Trump’s crypto gala—sorry, I mean, his personal time. That’s what the White House is calling it. “Personal time,” as if the President of the United States is entitled to moonlight as a meme coin influencer when he's not busy playing dictator cosplay from the West Wing.

Trump’s latest con—and let’s stop right now pretending it’s anything else—is the $TRUMP coin. A digital token that, like most of his business ventures, is based on smoke, mirrors, and the blind faith of people who should know better. At this little “private dinner” at Trump National Golf Club, the price of $TRUMP dipped 6% just as the attendees—the top 220 coin holders, average buy-in: $1.8 million—started showing up. Classic pump-and-dump vibes. But don’t worry, it’s all kosher. The White House says it wasn’t official. It was personal. Like your cousin flipping knockoff Rolexes at your wedding.

The grift was sold as “intimate” and “exclusive”—words that apparently mean “helicopter in, drone through a speech, helicopter out.” Trump barely spoke to the attendees. No handshakes, no selfies—just 15 minutes of crypto buzzwords and a Bitcoin shoutout. Then he bolted, leaving a roomful of whale investors high on access and low on returns.
