'A Bunch of Suckers!': Trump's Base Never Saw It Coming

‘A Bunch of Suckers!’: Trump’s Base Never Saw It Coming — Critics Say Melania Trump’s Ruthless Cash Grab Just Wiped Out MAGA for Millions - Atlanta Black Star

Donald Trump has spent years casting himself as a business genius whose touch turns anything he endorses into instant gold. But as his most loyal supporters are now discovering, that mythology is colliding with a brutal financial reality — and this time, even Melania Trump is at the center of the fallout.

A Wall Street Journal investigation delivered the sharpest blow yet, revealing that everything tied to the Trump brand in the speculative corners of the market — stocks, crypto, meme coins, and digital tokens — has collapsed spectacularly since his return to office. And for many of the Trump faithful who bought in because they believed [he] could do no wrong, the losses have been devastating.

And then there’s the new embarrassment of the Melania Trump’s $MELANIA coin, which has cratered an astounding 99 percent since launch, leaving some investors with pennies on the dollar.

The $MELANIA token debuted at a sky-high valuation on a wave of MAGA hype, surged as much as 25,000 percent, and then plummeted so brutally that anyone who bought in at the top and invested $12,500 is now left with about $118, noted Occupy Democrats in a scathing post on X.

1. Is that pronounced "smellania"?

[tanyev]

13. Yes, as in "Smell ya later, suckers!"

17. Lol. Exact words I started to add.

but decided to have some mercy on her. Yeah, she's got feigned arrogance and privilege up the arse, I think, but I also see battery and abuse in that face. If she met Trump via Epstein, can only wonder what she's seen and done. Which is why I generally try to ignore her.

2. might I just throw in .. ? I feel even LESS sorry for THIS crop of greedy morons ..

Than I do for the majority of the knuckle draggers that voted for the clown.
(many of whom didn't have 2 cents to wager on any topic to start out with - much less crypto or tokens)

4. That lead balloon came crashing down on

MAGA morons. Whodathunkit?

[DFW]

5. And one sure thing:

Most of those people who found $12,500 to invest in one of the Trump scams are people who could least afford to lose it. How did these people ever graduate junior high school?

[eppur_se_muova]

6. Do you have information that they did ? nt

[DFW]

9. Giving them the benefit of the doubt

Finishing the 8th grade is not as challenging as hurdle as getting a high school diploma.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Over 90% of all Americans have a high school diploma.

It is logical then to assume that an even higher number have an 8th grade education.

16. ***ASSUMING*** a random sample, NOT a group selected for a particular characteristic.

Such as being MAGAts.

One needs to be careful with statistics.

[Justice matters.]

7. Gullible idiots did FA.

Now they FO.

The price of being ignorant of History.

[COL Mustard]

8. One thing for certain:

Any financial deal will be structured so that no member of the Trump family ever loses money. Whether an asset rises or falls, they’ll profit. Count on it.

[no_hypocrisy]

11. So traditional in its corruption.

TSF is the latest incantation of a carnival barker and a confidence man, perhaps combined with a descendent of Elmer Gantry.

[Emile]

12. I can't help but laugh at people who bought into his scams.

There are a lot of stupid people in the United States, and they are all easily conned Republicans.

[BWdem4life]

14. Most people dump bad investments before they lose it all

but these are Magats we're talking about, so maybe some of them lost 99%

15. ETTD.
