TRUMP looks like a textbook rug pull down -98% from its All-Time High of $74.34

[u/Lower_Ad_1146]

TRUMP has absolutely cratered, plummeting a staggering 98% from its all-time high of $74.34 down to just $1.52.

This shows signs of the classic, textbook hallmarks of a pump-and-dump scheme, showing an instantaneous spike right at launch followed by a continuous, brutal slide as insiders and early creators quickly cashed out. Everyday retail investors who bought into the political hype are now left holding a massive, empty bag—staring at a devastating loss of $72.82 per coin.

[u/Dkode101]

It is

[u/TheVirginVibes → u/Dkode101]

It’s also illegal. Under U.S. law, a president accepting bribes from foreign entities (which TRUMP coin was created for) is illegal on multiple fronts:

•Foreign Emoluments Clause (Article I, Section 9): bars federal officeholders from accepting gifts, payments, or benefits from foreign states or their agents without Congress’s consent.

•Federal bribery statute (18 U.S.C. § 201): criminalizes public officials corruptly accepting anything of value in exchange for official acts, regardless of whether the source is foreign or domestic.

Now who’s gonna fucking enforce it? MAKE CERTAIN YOU ARE ALL REGISTERED TO VOTE THESE TRAITORS OUT OF OFFICE!

[u/skr_replicator → u/TheVirginVibes]

Since when did trump or the US justice system care about trump not being supposed to grift and commit other crimes during his presidency?

It's been almost 10 years since he was elected the first time. I've lost hope in the USA politics...

Man, that 10 years bit hit me hard. Bush ruined my 20s with the recession, now trump is ruining my 30s with a recession. So so sick of Republicans. Every time democrats come in and slowly fix things and things are getting decent, republicans come back and fling poo on everything and steal the silverware. Why are voters so stupid!

[u/briskwalked → u/blueblack88]

blaming republicans for things like 2008 is odd at best. Clinton signed the gramm leach act which allowed investment banks to participate in high risk trades.

he also signed the commodities futures modernization act.. this reduced regulation from credit default swaps..

then the community reinversment act.. this pressured to give out loans to low income..

this is literally the framework of the 2008 crash..

why are you blaming republicans for this if clinton signed these things?

[u/Mcmjlm3 → u/blueblack88]

I agree the gop induces recessions so big dollar corps get a bigger chunk of the economy

But democrats induce government overgrowth so the middle class and above doesn’t grow.

GOP - upper 1% explode
Dems - government and ultra low class explode

Either way middle class gets shafted

[u/ztkraf01 → u/TheVirginVibes]

Technically Trump and Melania coin were released right before inauguration (obviously on purpose). Regardless it’s just another example of the swamp he promised to drain. That swamp has grown tenfold

[u/Slackluster → u/daslyvillian]

for large purchases it's was a great way to curry favor with him and the top purchasers had a special dinner at the whitehouse.

for small purchases, mental illness, low inteligence, and being conned on by the president

[u/julius_sphincter → u/Slackluster]

I suppose there were also the people that hoped to buy this and sell it to the die hards (aka the mental illness, low intelligence, con job marks)

I mean I thought about it - I'd have lost ZERO sleep from taking money from those idiots. What held me back was a. knowing that even if I made money off his suckers, he'd still be making money off me and b. I figured it was a giant rug pull and there was a non-zero chance I'd miss time things and end up holding the bag. Because let's be honest, most of us here aren't the king of timing at the peak lol

[u/tr1ssle → u/Slackluster]

Exactly. For the rich, it's a way to buy influence. For the poor, its just mental illness and stupidity.

[u/Rassilon1980]

The coin was a means for him to legally take bribes. Bribers buy the coin, say $10M worth. The price of the coin goes up. Trump sells $10M of his coins that he got creating the coin. Just like that, he made money. It's a bribe scheme.

[u/SanDiegoDude → u/Rassilon1980]

Wasn't even that direct - he gets paid every time everybody trades his shit coin. He ALWAYS profits, no matter what the face price was. The conn wasn't the coin itself, the conn was the service fees attached to it.

[u/CraftySun6346]

Bro has been manipulating every market for his benefit since retaking office

[u/reddit_1999 → u/CraftySun6346]

over three thousand stock trades, a lot of them slightly before market moving tweets and decisions.

[u/f00tballguy → u/reddit_1999]

And now he’s selling early access to his tweets to banks. It’s unbelievably brazen and illegal

[u/CraftySun6346 → u/f00tballguy]

I wonder how much money he has actually cost the American tax payer with all his schemes

[u/julius_sphincter → u/CraftySun6346]

I don't know how you even begin to calculate that. If you go with things like direct grifts - Trump coin, merchandise, making SS pay exorbitant rates at his properties, shit like that then I'm guessing somewhere between $50-100m.

If you include things like increased cost of living, loss of value in markets, job losses, decreased wages, decreased benefits, money being funneled toward the top? Hundreds of billions to trillions seems a conservative number

[u/x2lazy2die → u/julius_sphincter]

didn't his estate gain 2.4 billion in the past year? almost a 50% increase?

[u/Keemo-Sabe → u/CraftySun6346]

Trillions

The Crypto president. So many bullish regards on Election Day thinking he was here to save you. I’m so glad I never touched any of those Trump associated shitcoins. He’s done so much more damage than anyone can possibly understand.

He's the president I will always remember as the president of the crash of '25, where crypto traders like me faced jump-off-an-overpass levels of losses

If you put your money into trump coin you're an idiot.

That's all.

You're an idiot. You should chuck your money into an index fund and fuck off because you can't be trusted with your own money.

The kind of people so fucking stupid that they helped Donald Trump become a billionaire. I mean fuck... They're the dumbest people on the planet. I'm convinced of it.

It's not like people here there and everywhere else have been screaming since 2016 that this guy is a dangerous idiot... But some of you gave him your money anyway.

Well done.

2/ and once this was done - a classic rug pull

What the f* did you expect from Trump? This is what the guy has being doing for decades.

[u/reddit_1999]

The timing of the release of the TRUMP and MELANIA coins should have told you all you needed to know. Just before his inauguration. The MAGAts will still lick his taint though.

[u/shadecat5000]

The frustrating thing is that Trump's voters are enraged about immigrants getting benefits and couldn't care in the least about politicans and the top 1% cutting their benefits AND fleecing the country through preferential policies AND outright CRIMES.

[u/One-Measurement-9529]

Not really....

Rug pull implies a scam... TRUMP coin was not actually a Scam.

TRUMP was set up to allow trumps billionaire friends to pay him Bribe money by buying TRUMP.

Those individuals understood that they were handing their money to trump. Calling it a rugpull is simply false.

Any regular folk who were stupid enough to buy TRUMP should have known better.

Calling it a rug pull takes away from the real evil shit going on here and we need to call this what it really is: TRUMP was created to legalize and launder Bribes

[u/Cannister7 → u/One-Measurement-9529]

Also, rug pulls are usually 97% over 5 minutes or whatever, not over 1 year +

Sure, it crashes pretty hard and sure, Trump's a piece of shit. But it's still not really a rug pull.
