Trump Meme Coin Is Totally Kosher …
Presidency Isn’t For Sale!!!

Former President Donald Trump has ventured into the world of cryptocurrency by promoting a meme coin, generating significant profits through a contest that offers a select group of buyers the opportunity to dine with him. However, this move does not imply that the presidency itself is up for grabs, at least according to Michael Knowles.
The Daily Wire host shared his insights during an appearance on “TMZ Live,” where he was questioned about Trump’s unique approach to cryptocurrency. Knowles came to the former president’s defense, framing the initiative in a different light.
Trump has made 220 dinners available to individuals who purchase a substantial number of his meme coins, with reports suggesting that he and his inner circle are profiting by hundreds of thousands of dollars from this scheme. Despite the controversy, Knowles perceives no ethical dilemma in this arrangement.
According to Knowles, the crypto contest is akin to a standard political fundraiser, which often involves lawmakers auctioning off dinner invitations to supporters. However, he highlighted a key distinction: unlike typical fundraisers where money is directed toward political campaigns, funds from this venture are directly benefiting Trump personally. This point was a focus during their conversation.
There are apprehensions among critics that the sale of meme coins could create avenues for individuals, corporations, and foreign entities to potentially gain influence over Trump through financial contributions. Nevertheless, Knowles expressed greater concern regarding Joe Biden‘s financial integrity, rather than focusing on Trump’s business activities.
