Trump's Token Launch Sparks Ridicule: When Being President Turns into a 'Blockchain Microbusiness', the Retail Investors Can't Sit Still!
Recently, Trump stirred up quite a storm—while others campaign for votes with speeches, he opened a 'White House Convenience Store' in the blockchain world, issuing the $TRUMP token and starting a 'Token for Dinner' business. The first 220 holders can join his private dinner, and the top 25 can unlock a VIP White House package. This left retail investors dumbfounded: after all these years in politics, old Trump still hasn't let go of his 'business DNA', even moving the ticket-selling tricks from campaign rallies to the blockchain.
As soon as the news broke, the crypto community exploded. Some were so envious they slapped their thighs: 'Why can you, Trump, harvest retail investors so openly while we can't even get a sip of soup?' Some netizens, eager for drama, mocked: 'Isn't this dinner a trap? The appetizer is a vaporware token, the main dish is scythe meat, and the dessert is a zero cake, plus you still have to pay for the ticket.' The most ridiculous was a Democratic congressman who angrily accused 'quid pro quo', only to be retorted by onlookers: 'Why didn’t you speak up when you were doing political donations? Trump just switched the tricks to blockchain!'
The most clear-headed are the seasoned blockchain veterans, who summed up 'Trump Economics':
• First Law of Harvesting Retail Investors: When the President starts issuing tokens, retail investors should prepare to run—after all, the 'dinner invitation' might just be a 'scythe redemption voucher';
• Principle of Shared Benefits: Political donations used to be hidden away, now they're openly and transparently on-chain; although it's an ugly sight, at least it’s 'fair to all';
• Imitator's Paradox: With Trump raking in 300 million dollars from token issuance, the next presidential candidates might just have to launch their own 'BIDEN' or 'OBAMA' tokens, and future debates could change to 'crypto AMAs', with voter decisions based solely on token holdings.
The most magical thing is that while everyone is still debating 'legality', Trump's team has quietly made a fortune—earning $900,000 in smart contract fees, with the project team raking in $324 million, more than Trump made from selling his autobiography. Now netizens are predicting: the next to trend in the blockchain world might be 'Biden issuing $DEMOCRAT token, with holdings granting tickets for a Capitol Hill tour'.
