Trump on Truth Social today:
Is this Trump’s economic plan? Lol, yeah right! It’s his new crypto scheme.
From the “minds” of Eric and Don Jr. Always the grift. They may be way late on this one. If they wanted some of that sweet, sweet crypto grift they should have been trying that about 4 or 5 years ago.
Don’t forget that in the attempt to appeal to incels and other angry young men, Trump has been partnering up with known crypto grifters and scammers.
Logan Paul is one example.
Logan Paul, a controversial YouTuber and professional wrestler, hosted the former president on his popular podcast.

And going back further, you have these guys:

And they are known for NFT scams along the same lines as Paul's
Influencers the NELK Boys have been called out by YouTuber Spencer Cornelia for a “NFT scam” involving the group’s Nelk Metacard NFT.

It seems Trump has really found common ground with these folks, while always seeing crypto as a scam himself. And now he wants in on that action. Crypto grifting is not an artifact of the late 2010s. It’s still alive and well today.
