He didn’t create the crypto feeding frenzy. But he’s an entrepreneur that’s identified an opportunity so his family is promoting a CC coin as are thousands of others.

He’s a real estate developer that has transitioned into branding over several decades. His family just has bigger deals than we’re used to observing. Percentage wise the Biden’s, especially Hunter, have been better at booking the profits.

They transitioned into bigger deals because he's POTUS in a second term and are able to make those deals ONLY because he's POTUS.

There is no room for misinterpreting comments made by both Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.

The media isn't to blame for their militarism and over-heated tone. They have been unnecessarily provocative and disrespectful with Denmark, a staunch American ally. It's absurd. In particular, Stephen Miller ignorantly rants and raves about things that he clearly has no experience in dealing with. That's not diplomacy. He often talks like Roy Cohn (Sen. Joe McCarthy's henchman) would during the Red Scare.

The pro-Trump crowd wants to blame the media for spinning and/or editorializing comments from these two .... but that's not what is happening. No "force-feeding" is necessary here. Trump and Miller don't need anyone's help, in making fools of themselves, while demonstrating that they have no comprehension of how to conduct diplomacy. The Trump Administration only knows how to get what they want through intimidation, threats and straight up bullying.

“The President and his team are discussing a range of options to pursue this important foreign policy goal, and of course, utilizing the U.S. Military is always an option at the Commander in Chief’s disposal,” it said.

The NBC headline and start of article make it sound like we’re about to bomb the Danish.

That comment can just as easily mean that if China or Russia attempt to establish a foothold there then our military is going to be deployed to stop them.

Also, is the “foreign policy goal” to annex Greenland or to secure it and keep the communists out?

Kind of like the Clintons and Obamas getting tens of millions for selling book rights or “producing” shows for Netflix? Or taking big checks to speak for an hour or two? Or Hunter selling his finger paintings for 6 figures when he’s supposed to be serving on boards of directors needing his talent?

At least Trump has been promoting what he’s been selling for decades. He started doing that when he was a democrat. Do any elected officials give up their livelihood after being elected - or do they grow their enterprises? Are his kids supposed to continue the family businesses or spend their days consuming hookers and coke.

Not anything like that in scale. "Tens of millions" isn't only an extreme exaggeration, but a total fabrication and a tiny fraction of what's going on now in scale, plus it's an entirely different type of gain in regard to intent.

Most of your post is absolutely, a dumb AF comparison and rationalization

I've been on this forum for a decade and a half, and I personally witnessed you bitch, piss, moan, and otherwise whine for most of it.

Another poster nailed it. Your final act would be better spent on a hobby.

Trump said the US will take action whether they like it or not. In addition to sounding like something a rapist would say, it makes me very concerned about a military strike because we are absolutely not getting the territory by any other means.

So why is it you think there's something nefarious about the Obama's getting fronted $65 million for two books?

Looks like Penguin made out like bandits.

I didn’t say it was nefarious. I compared it to Trump also engaging in capitalism. I also noted that Trump had been promoting his brand for decades before stepping into politics. BHO was a community organizer. Near nothing to 9 figures without putting up any of his own capital at risk was quite impressive.

Are those Obama books that somebody scooped up on the DollarTree shelves yet? That’s where I got my copy of Hillary’s tale tales.

Are you outraged that Grover practiced law between his terms?

I also question that BHO was out of office. Who was the real POTUS while Biden was taking his 4-year long nap?

So getting an advance for a book from a publisher is the same as creating a meme coin cryptocurrency on you first day back in office, and profiting from transaction fees generated by foreign governments buying your meme coin?

Book advances are simply the longer established method of buying not nearly as wealthy politicians.

The Trump coin was created before his first day back in office.

The Bidens clearly sold influence and access. Joe said it out loud - yet there was no prosecution. The anti-Trumpers are suggesting Donald did the same but haven’t proven anything was illegal. Since the Bidens got away with their blatant grift, why should the Trump family be excluded from legally being involved in the crypto currency industry?

There are 20,000 or so active CC brands in existence. Why is the Trump coin the one now of concern? TDS much?

That Biden and his family are no doubt dirty doesn't have anything to do with Trump's ethics.
Do you really need to ask about Trump's CC?

The Clintons reveived nearly $30M for their book deals. The Obama's got $65M.

And? I thought we were discussing the POTUSES cashing in on their celebrity. Trump’s been working on his brand since the 1980s or earlier.

But you’re cool with the promoters of the more than 10,000 crypto coins that came before the Trump coin? Or are you just mad because the Trumps have been very successful with their’s and the Left has worked hard on it but been unable to prove that it’s crooked?
