💵💰 Trump went full-on rich guy trying to control the economy today.
He said millionaires would flee the country if taxed more, then turned around and attacked the World Bank, IMF, and Federal Reserve—all while his personal crypto spiked 58% after he promised a private dinner for the 200 biggest holders.
Trump always makes sure he gets a cut. But somehow, this country decided it’s fine for a sitting president to sell shares of his own currency to people with cash to burn. Please contact your senators and representatives to tell them that they have to stop him.
