Dave Weigel: Ironic since he's to announce actions against ActBlue

Ironic on the day where he's expected to announce action against ActBlue bc it doesn't do enough to prevent foreign donations.

Someone just spent $8 million on $TRUMP memecoins after the president announced that the top holders would be invited to join him at a private dinner at his DC golf club.

The purchases were funded by a Binance account, suggesting the wallet owner is not based in the US.

And now the amount of money he is being paid by foreigners is totally obscene.

I believe that Trump knows what he is doing. He attacks the left for minor or made-up shit while all the time committing egregious acts of villainy and self-dealing. He is a greedy pig feeding at the public trough.
