In late Jan, #Trump wrote online, “I LOVE $TRUMP!!” In March, adopting the writing style of a tween, Trump published a follow-up item that read, “I LOVE $TRUMP — SO COOL!!! The Greatest of them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

But last week, the endeavor reached a new level: A website promoting one of the president’s #crypto offerings launched a contest of sorts, in which those who purchased his #MemeCoin would have a chance to win special #access to Trump.

What was to stop a foreign government, eager to bribe the American president, from quietly dumping money into #Trump’s #crypto project, effectively making direct payments to the president w/o public disclosure? Nothing.

The day after being sworn into office, Trump continued to use his social media platform to promote his controversial #MemeCoin. In the weeks that followed, his efforts continued.

In case anyone needs a refresher as to how we arrived at this point, the trouble began in earnest in January. With just 3 days remaining before his presidential inauguration, #Trump found time to launch one last post-election #grift: Without explanation or defense, the #Republican & his family started selling a #cryptocurrency token.

#Trump & his allies have raked in nearly $900k in trading fees over the past two days from the president’s $TRUMP #cryptocurrency token, acc/to Chainalysis, a blockchain data company. The surge came after a Wednesday announcement in which the top 220 holders of the token were promised dinner w/the president.

When pressed to justify their efforts, the #GOP’s #impeachment proponents pointed to an informant who brought bribery allegations to the attention of the FBI. That same informant was ultimately sent to prison — because he lied to the FBI about Biden.

That said, if there are still ofcls looking for a burgeoning controversy surrounding a president & the potential for… #bribes, do I have a story for them.…

I can’t believe we are now halfway through this election and #PierrePoilievre still refuses to get his #securityclearance!

The issue has only grown cold because Poilievre controls and limits questions while his online #propaganda campaign deems it a nothing burger.

Poilievre could have easily taken this issue off the table by getting security clearance months ago, instead he continues to make ridiculous excuses and commits to running for PM without it. Unconscionable.

There couldn’t be a sketchier choice for PM. Pierre is clearly just another political trump hiding his skeletons in plain sight. Possibly one of the most #compromised Canadian PM candidates ever.

The worst thing about this is that if #Poilievre were to win, he would be given security clearance regardless, and he knows it. Honestly, he shouldn’t even be qualified to run for PM without it.

So, Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against #Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin. He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously, the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.
