The new Trump crypto scam (or is Trump coming for our Greenbacks?)
Donald Trump is hawking a new wares on his Xitter. The new grift: cryptocurrency. He just started a new currency and exchange. He is signalling that if he will make America the "crypto capital of the world". Not only is this a conflict of interest this is a position that effects everyone economically.
What this could potentially signal is a shift away from the requirement to pay or accept US Dollars as official currency—including in the United States. We've seen Trump get more corrupt and more extreme as we inch closer to the election. This is just opening "competition for the US Dollar". This is a dangerous move that puts workers in a precarious situation where they may find the money that they worked hard for may one day overnight be essentially worthless.
I am old enough to remember the idea that "THEY ARE COMING FOR YOUR GREENBACKS!" to be a conspiracy theory. This was prime 1990s-2000s Coast-to-Coast AM material. And yet here we have it—not from the Democrats, but from the very Republicans that screamed "END THE FED!" for years. Mark my words, if Trump gets elected he and J. D. Vance will work overtime to ensure the government and its departments are devoured by their grift machines. This is extremely dangerous. When Trump says he wants to make America "the crypto capital of the world" what he is saying is that he wants to force everyone into cryptocurrency. Once again, it's always projection.
