I do suspect that Trump was involved in a crypto pump and dump. Certainly, he has reneged on some of his promises.

Finally, someone on this board has actually spoken to an opinion I uttered, unlike Jo brushing off every point by ignoring it. I don't know if I can take the excitement.

Here is what you are talking about, and it's well beyond suspicion:

Basically the ;tldr:

The president raked in cash by issuing new assets—World Liberty tokens and memecoins. But those who bought them at high prices had to suffer as their value went belly up, part of a wider crash in crypto. Political followers and crypto true believers who bought into the Trump brand were left holding the bag. A crypto summer for the president was a crypto winter for them.

Roughly two-thirds of investors in Trump’s memecoin are currently in the red, according to crypto data provider Nansen, which tracks 1.48 million crypto wallets that bought the token since its January 2025 launch. Many fans spent a few thousand on Trump coins while the biggest spenders shelled out millions for the token. Nansen’s analysis of 26,663 wallets shows that 85% of World Liberty’s $WLFI token buyers in the secondary market are underwater.

Trump profited by around $800 million off of rubes who mostly lost most of their investment.

The meme coin was worth ~$0.31 at launch and now trades at about 5 cents.
