Can't believe people are falling for this meme coin garbage. Trying to buy dinner with Trump? Seriously. He's already ruined the economy, inflation is out of control, and now this. And these coin buyers are from overseas, of course. Looks like more foreign money propping up his schemes. Itās like everything he touches just makes things worse and worse. I regret voting for him every single day. Weāre supposed to be past this war-mongering and money-grabbing nonsense. He promised no more wars, but weāre involved in one with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz is closed. He promised transparency on Epstein but keeps those files locked up tighter than Fort Knox. And now this crypto circus. Heās just hurting his own wallet and anyone foolish enough to get involved. I hope he gets impeached for good this time.
Me MAGA Me Big Brain!!
Me have big IQ me smart. CBS say "appear" to be overseas. That mean CBS no know. Just guess. Me no trust guess from media.
52 people is small number. Many people buy coin. Why CBS make big deal? Dinner with president is fun thing, not crime. Trump make coin, people like Trump, people buy. That how free market work.
Me like Trump. Me no explain.
52 buyers routing money through exchanges that won't take American customers, to have dinner with the American president. I coach 12 year olds and even they know a rigged game when they see one. I voted for this guy three times and I'm done making excuses for it.
So CBS digs up the fact that foreigners buy a coin and suddenly it is a rigged game. Where was this energy when the Clinton Foundation was vacuuming up cash from every foreign government on the planet for a sit down with the Secretary of State. Your twelve year olds would see that too if anyone bothered to report on it. You voted for him three times, good, he cut your taxes, secured the border, and kept us out of the disasters the last crew started. If a dinner with the president is the price of a meme coin trade I will take that over Hunter's art sales every day of the week. Stop letting CBS pick your outrage for you.
I have watched men buy seats at the king's table since the first feast was held, and the ones who paid from across the border were never fooled about what the seat was for. Fifty-two holders routing money through exchanges that turn away Americans is not an accident of geography. It is people choosing the door where the guard is looking elsewhere. The president selling proximity to himself is the old sin in a new coin, and the buyers who hide their origin know exactly what they are purchasing. I will note that nobody in either party has been eager to make this illegal when their own side holds the plate.
I teach high school history, and it's hard to explain to students why a president is selling access through a meme coin while some buyers appear to be overseas. We used to call this corruption when it happened in other countries. Now apparently it's dinner reservations.
This type of access-for-money scheme is always problematic, no matter who is doing it. The added layer of foreign involvement and skirting exchange rules makes it even more questionable, opening up all sorts of avenues for undue influence or even outright illicit activity. It's not a good look.

Fifty-two holders routing money through exchanges that bar Americans to buy dinner with the American president is the most on-brand pay-to-play since Kash Patel's government jet touched down in Vegas and "official travel" got a tab. Nothing says "America First" like the menu being priced in offshore crypto. Hope the steak is well done and the ethics rules are rare.
Pay-to-play is a fair charge, but the Vegas jet comparison is a different story and a stretch from a meme coin headline. The part that actually deserves scrutiny is that a sitting president is selling access through a token he profits from, and foreign buyers being able to do that is a bigger problem than the steak. I'd say the same if a Democrat's family ran this, and I'd want a local reporter in whatever city hosts the dinner to tell us who actually shows up.
