How presidential.
Money laundering. That’s what this is.
It’s mostly a wealth transfer from dumbasses to a criminal grifter.
How?
Foreign investor buy dozens of these coins. People that probably shouldn’t be “donating” to American politicians cuz they want something in return.
Ah, I don’t think this is money laundering. Most politicians do this but with books. I guess a book was too much work for old don.
It’s not money laundering to sell dumb shit to idiots, like coins to magas, or bathwater to thirsty teenagers, or dogecoin to me
It is if someone from outside the US, who can’t legally donate to Trump’s campaign, buys 100 of these.
You would be gravy, but it would be easy to shovel millions of oligarch money into his organization which will lose it by buying the oligarch’s overpriced services.
It certainly is if most of the dumb shit is bought by foreign powers as a way to fund a campaign. See also bibles, nfts, sneakers.
I have no clue if there’s indeed any proof for such a claim, but the theory that I read elsewhere is that it’s a way to obfuscate money flows.
If a foreign nation (Russia, China, North Korea, whoever) would like to engage in the election, they can’t just donate to the campaign officially. But instead, they could buy a couple thousands of these coins in smaller transactions.
TBH I’m rather with you. I think the majority of these coins is just bought by some MAGAs. For foreign nations there’d be probably more efficient ways to transfer money like shares etc.
Pretty much exactly this.
He’s still leading in the polls that matter these rubes are going to get us all in a heap of trouble if they re-elect their king…
The Con-Man loves to get his base to buy junk.
This is quite reasonable; his base are fucking idiots, and fall for this shit all the time.
remember his NFT drop?
dumbasses.
Yup. I’d continue squeezing them for cash, as they seem to love that sort of thing.
Conman trying to con, news at 11.
And the republicans will just say he’s being enterprising.
To be completely fair, this is the sort of thing he’s done for forever now. A significant portion of his wealth comes from simply licensing the Trump name
Can you imagine the horror on the faces of some future generation of they find these things in between the belongings of their grandparents after they pass away.
Or maybe they will think they’re rich and can finally afford that new roof for the trailer.
Nazi memorabilia does quite well on secondary markets still. How is this any different? Humans will always have a morbid fascination with idiots of the past.
Trump is broke. He has no money.
If by “hunt,” they mean with a shotgun, shooting a bunch of conservative fish in a barrel.
Pathetic

“1oz .999% silver medallions”
So 3x the price of other 1 ounce silver rounds?

You can’t launder foreign campaign donations by selling things at wholesale prices.
“C’mon. it’s got his ugly face stamped on it. That’s worth atleast 47x on it’s own!” -Trump, probably.
24 ounce “Trump Train” - $856:
The people buying this shit would love to be putting people onto trains, so this tracks.
That’s… uh…
I’m lost for words.
Dude needs to learn some body positivity and embrace his true form
It really doesn’t look like him. The hair can only do so much, it looks more like JFK than Trump.
I was thinking more like Norman Osborn than Trump…
I want to melt it down and turn it into a bullet, I then want to shoot whoever designed it for cringe.
It should have been .88%
Yep…
they’re racist.
Buy as many as you can. Then wait to be as rich as he claims to be. What could go wrong.
If I could get one for the actual price of silver (~31 USD/oz) I think I might just get one - for the “remember this dipshit?”
Check a local coin dealer/show.
Silver ounce rounds come in infinitely many designs, and there are a lot of right-wingers in those interest groups.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them done up with his ugly maw on. I think sometines as copper too.
[un]fortunately i don’t live in the states.
If they are anything like the knife enthusiasts groups then they may have started trickling out of the states by now.
