Get your $TRUMP memecoin so you can buy influence too

TOM certainly wants to be remembered this Memorial Day. WOOF! Taking Friday on with a bang. The Harvard fight continues. Harvard managed to get a restraining order to temporarily halt the ban on international students. It would seem to be a pretty clear cut case of extortion if it wasn’t happening in TOMland. But alas we are not in the realm of the sane so the courts will have to jump into the battle.

But TOM kept busy in other areas of graft and corruption, no need to worry. In addition to the new toy from Qatar (which he plans to put at his library once he’s out), he continues to use his position to increase his wealth in other areas. Like the big fete he threw for the sycophants who have glommed onto his memecoin. It’s not even a “real thing.” A memecoin is be definition something with no true value. It is all speculation. I guess that aligns 100% with TOM and his life though. “Memecoin (meme) is literally a meme coin. No utility. No roadmap. No promises. No expectation of financial return. Just 100% memes.” That doesn’t stop TOM from profiteering on it.

 “President Trump gathered Thursday evening at his Virginia golf club with the highest-paying customers of his personal cryptocurrency, promising that he would promote the crypto industry from the White House as protesters outside condemned the event as a historic corruption of the presidency. The president’s business partners called the dinner the world’s “most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION” and posted a leaderboard online that allowed crypto investors to calculate how many $TRUMP coins they would have to buy to earn one of the 220 seats.” Really. No one sees any conflict of interest issues here. None? No one? Bueller? This is literally selling the government. Literally. How is he not up in front of the Senate on ethics and corruption charges? Oh wait, right. Because he owns them as well. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/us/politics/trump-memecoin-dinner.html There are just too many eye-popping quotes in the article to site them here. So click away folks and make sure you have something below your jaw to catch it when it drops open.

OH! And best for last. TOM is telling Apple that they need to make all of their iPhones in the US. “President Trump went on the offensive against Apple on Friday, demanding that the company begin making iPhones in the United States or pay tariffs of at least 25 percent on iPhones made abroad.

The ultimatum is the latest in a decade-long push to get the technology giant to move its supply chain. When he first ran for president in 2016, Mr. Trump promised voters that he would “get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country instead of other countries.”

But instead of bringing its manufacturing home, Apple has shifted production from China to other countries across Asia, including India, Vietnam and Thailand. Almost nothing is made in America, and an estimated 80 percent of iPhones are still made in China.” That would likely cost consumers three times more than they currently pay for a phone. THREE TIMES. By the time Apple could build the factories to move everything currently in Chinas and India, the phone will be obsolete. Kind of like TOM.
