'A Bunch of Suckers!': Trump's Base Never Saw It Coming
‘A Bunch of Suckers!’: Trump’s Base Never Saw It Coming — Critics Say Melania Trump’s Ruthless Cash Grab Just Wiped Out MAGA for Millions - Atlanta Black StarDonald Trump has spent years casting himself as a business genius whose touch turns anything he endorses into instant gold. But as his most loyal supporters are now discovering, that mythology is colliding with a brutal financial reality — and this time, even Melania Trump is at the center of the fallout.
A Wall Street Journal investigation delivered the sharpest blow yet, revealing that everything tied to the Trump brand in the speculative corners of the market — stocks, crypto, meme coins, and digital tokens — has collapsed spectacularly since his return to office. And for many of the Trump faithful who bought in because they believed [he] could do no wrong, the losses have been devastating.
And then there’s the new embarrassment of the Melania Trump’s $MELANIA coin, which has cratered an astounding 99 percent since launch, leaving some investors with pennies on the dollar.
The $MELANIA token debuted at a sky-high valuation on a wave of MAGA hype, surged as much as 25,000 percent, and then plummeted so brutally that anyone who bought in at the top and invested $12,500 is now left with about $118, noted Occupy Democrats in a scathing post on X.
