Donald Trump transforms himself from a politician to a digital businessman by creating a private club with outrageous fees reaching half a million dollars to provide trading recommendations 😂. This move is not just a business venture, but part of a strategy to enhance his image as a symbol of luxury and influence.
After the failure of his platform "Truth Social" and meme coins, Trump returns with the idea of an "exclusive club" to attract the wealthy and loyal supporters, creating a new layer of followers who pay for access to him.
This tactic reflects his deep understanding of the attention economy, as his name turns into a brand sold as a luxury commodity. But the danger here is that it could turn into a model of power based on polarization and class inequality.
If successful, it may encourage others to imitate him, further increasing the divide in society between the elite who can pay and the general public who can only watch. The bigger question: Is this the future of influence or just another bubble that will burst?
