Money laundering. That’s what this is.
It’s not money laundering to sell dumb shit to idiots, like coins to magas, or bathwater to thirsty teenagers, or dogecoin to me
It is if someone from outside the US, who can’t legally donate to Trump’s campaign, buys 100 of these.
It certainly is if most of the dumb shit is bought by foreign powers as a way to fund a campaign. See also bibles, nfts, sneakers.
You would be gravy, but it would be easy to shovel millions of oligarch money into his organization which will lose it by buying the oligarch’s overpriced services.
It’s mostly a wealth transfer from dumbasses to a criminal grifter.
How?
Foreign investor buy dozens of these coins. People that probably shouldn’t be “donating” to American politicians cuz they want something in return.
Ah, I don’t think this is money laundering. Most politicians do this but with books. I guess a book was too much work for old don.
I saw these being talked about on r/silverbugs, Reddit’s silver-collecting community. There is definitely a higher-than-usual concentration of Trump supporters there and even they were lambasting it for being a dumb thing to buy.
The thing is, these can’t even legally be called “coins”. A coin is only called that if it’s made with sanction from the state. Privately-made coin-like objects are “rounds”. Silver rounds are pretty common and are basically all worth melt value. I have no doubt these “commemorative
coinsrounds” will meet their end five or ten years from now in someone’s backyard kiln who will unceremoniously melt them down and cast them into some nice jewellery or a silver figurine.Edit: I actually have some Trump design silver rounds. Not official Trump products, of course (or maybe they are, IDK). They are very common and worth nothing more than melt value. I paid melt value of these two. I traded one of them to my former roommate who’s a Trump supporter for a cod.
Definitely going to keep the “never surrender” round that has his mugshot that they took after he surrendered though.
A…cod?
Either a nice fish dinner or one of the call of duty games. Hard to say
I’m talking about the fish. Four packs of vacuum-packed fresh-caught cod fillets for one ounce of silver.
Sounds like you got the art of the deal down! You deserve a coin! 😀
This guy
fucksbarters
One fish please!
Ooh, you’ve given me an incredible idea on how to scam old conservatives in 20 years
Why wait 20 years? This works right now
“1oz .999% silver medallions”
So 3x the price of other 1 ounce silver rounds?

You can’t launder foreign campaign donations by selling things at wholesale prices.
It should have been .88%
Yep…
they’re racist.
“C’mon. it’s got his ugly face stamped on it. That’s worth atleast 47x on it’s own!” -Trump, probably.
24 ounce “Trump Train” - $856:
That’s… uh…
I’m lost for words.
I want to melt it down and turn it into a bullet, I then want to shoot whoever designed it for cringe.
Dude needs to learn some body positivity and embrace his true form
The people buying this shit would love to be putting people onto trains, so this tracks.
This is quite reasonable; his base are fucking idiots, and fall for this shit all the time.
remember his NFT drop?
dumbasses.
Yup. I’d continue squeezing them for cash, as they seem to love that sort of thing.
Can you imagine the horror on the faces of some future generation of they find these things in between the belongings of their grandparents after they pass away.
Or maybe they will think they’re rich and can finally afford that new roof for the trailer.
Nazi memorabilia does quite well on secondary markets still. How is this any different? Humans will always have a morbid fascination with idiots of the past.
Pathetic
The Con-Man loves to get his base to buy junk.
And the republicans will just say he’s being enterprising.
Conman trying to con, news at 11.
Trump is broke. He has no money.
He’s still leading in the polls that matter these rubes are going to get us all in a heap of trouble if they re-elect their king…
If by “hunt,” they mean with a shotgun, shooting a bunch of conservative fish in a barrel.
How presidential.
