The Vast Majority of Trump’s Net Worth Is Now in His Meme Coin

The Vast Majority of Trump’s Net Worth Is Now in His Meme Coin

Published by José

Yes, you’re reading that correctly. Meme Streak President-elect Donald Trump may have spent his career playing the role of a wheeler-dealer businessman, but his actual financial track record has always been dodgy — he inherited a vast sum, declared bankruptcy at ventures ranging from a hotel to a casino, and estimates of his wealth have been a frequent topic of speculation for decades. Underscoring that tenuous real-world performance, it appears that Trump has now accumulated vastly more wealth in the past 24 hours than he did in his entire life previously. Yes, you’re reading that correctly: since launching a meme coin called $TRUMP on the eve of his second presidency about a day ago, Axios estimated earlier today that 89 percent of Trump’s net worth was tied up in the cryptocurrency, putting it north of $60 billion and making him — on paper, at least — one of the world’s 25 richest people. In a preview of Trump’s certain-to-be-chaotic adventures in the world of blockchain, though, the coin subsequently crashed by about 50 percent — meaning …

Fanning and Chalamet shared the hilarious moment during a recent interview with Out reporter Tracy E Gilchrist, who made headlines last month for her comments to Erivo about one of Wicked’s hit songs, “Defying Gravity.” In the initially bizarre interview, Gilchrist mentioned how she’d seen people in “queer media” taking the lyrics of the song and “really holding space with that.” Ervio responded that while she didn’t know this was happening, this was what she wanted. Grande then wrapped her hand around and tapped her friend’s finger. During her recent conversation with Fanning and Chalamet — who are the …

GOP women beg Trump to tone down attacks as his campaign pushes racist Kamala Harris meme

GOP women beg Trump to tone down attacks as his campaign pushes racist Kamala Harris meme

Published by Sam

It used to be that you had to go to the dark recesses of the web to find white supremacist memes about immigrants of color poisoning the blood of the nation. In 2024, those memes are now distributed by one of the two major political parties in the United States, using a platform owned by the world’s richest man. “Import the third world. Become the third world,” Donald Trump’s official campaign account posted on X, billionaire Elon Musk’s more racist version of Twitter. The post was accompanied by side-by-side images, one of an idyllic suburban home hanging an American flag, the other (“Your neighborhood under Kamala”) a group of largely Black men. Very fine people these immigrants are not, according to the Republican Party’s candidate for president. Elect Vice President Kamala Harris, whose biracial background is both confounding and upsetting to the Trump-Vance ticket, and the message is clear: White folks might see people of color — Black men, even — in their very own neighborhood. It’s nothing new for the 78-year-old Trump, a man …

‘Kamala IS brat’: Harris campaign goes lime-green to embrace the meme of the summer | Kamala Harris

Published by skeptic

After Kamala Harris announced her bid for president, she reportedly raised a record-breaking $81m donations in just a day – but her most culturally powerful endorsement may have come from a single tweet. As nearly all Democrats rallied behind the vice-president offering support in tweets and TV interviews, a perhaps unlikely voice weighed in: the British pop singer Charli xcx, who tweeted, “kamala IS brat.” That’s high praise from the musician, who released her album, also titled Brat, last month. Brat is not just a name, but a lifestyle, one inspired by noughties excess and rave culture. The archetypical brat, Charli explained on TikTok, is “just like that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes, who feels herself, but then also maybe has a breakdown, but kind of parties through it”. Brat summer essentials, again according to Charli, are “a pack of cigs, a Bic lighter, a strappy white top with no bra”. Perhaps most importantly, Charli chose a neon lime backdrop for her album …

Sometimes a meme can change your life. OK, your love life, let’s not get Carrie’d away. It was about 3am; I was in bed with two empty Gü Zillionaire ramekins and my favourite hot-water bottle (yes, I have a favourite), and zombie-scrolling TikTok. A Sex and the City clip appeared. The one that says: “He’s just not that into you.” I’d obviously seen it before, years ago when the show came out, but I hadn’t seen it since. So I didn’t swipe. I watched – for old times’ sake. And it blew my mind. You remember? Miranda is telling Carrie and Charlotte about her previous night’s almost-encounter: asking for their theories about a date who “didn’t come up” because he said he had an early meeting. While Carrie and Charlotte suggest he’s still interested “but wants to take it slow”, Carrie’s then-boyfriend, tasty Berger is having none of it: “Not going to sugar-coat it for you: he’s just not that into you.” Carrie squeals. Charlotte gasps. I stopped licking the Gü pot. And just like …

National service? Will it be monkey tennis next in this meme election? | General election 2024

Published by skeptic

Bringing back national service is not a policy, it is a meme (Rishi Sunak’s national service pledge is ‘bonkers’, says ex-military chief, 26 May). The Conservatives might as well have announced a fully funded project to “string ’em up”. James Cleverly has suggested recalcitrant teenagers could be working weekends as emergency health responders and special constables. How will the ambulance service deal with someone they must spend resources on training, who is unable or unwilling to contribute? Perhaps refuseniks can be press-ganged into building a wall along the Kent coast so we may make Britain great again. With the government unable to refer to their past and the opposition unwilling to refer to their future, the weeks leading up to 4 July will be characterised by more vacuous memes. Let’s get this election done! David MarstonCoventry My father did his national service in the RAF. He was crystal clear – he was there as cannon fodder and to massage the unemployment figures. If the world is as scary as Rishi Sunak says, then the £2.5bn needs to …
