they will be greeted by a cryptic explanation why they can't get their money after all.

Every time a Trump coin is sold, Trump profits. So if I have a coin and want to get the thousand dollars in cash and sell it to Joe Smith, Trump gets a transaction fee. Plus Trump holds much of the total meme coin and so if the valuation goes up, Trump's wealth also goes up.

Plus it doesn't actually cost him anything as the coin is just data.

There is no way listed to sign up.
There is no meeting point on the day of the parade, if the intent is to allow unlimited seat fillers.
The ad, at least earlier today, was listed as under review.

8. Russian soldiers on parade

By Anatoly Kurmanaev
Reporting from Red Square in Moscow
May 9, 2025

It was a Russian war spectacle designed to instill pride at home, impress allies and intimidate foes. marking the 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany was Russia’s most expansive celebration of the holiday in years, and it achieved at least the first two goals.

More than 180 pieces of military hardware rumbled across Red Square’s cobblestones on a chilly but sunny morning, including some of Russia’s latest artillery systems, drones and armored vehicles used in its invasion of Ukraine. More than 11,500 service members in elaborate uniforms shouted, “Hurrah!” as they marched past the Kremlin’s walls. And a formation of bomber jets exuded exhaust that painted the sky above the onion domes of St. Basil’s Cathedral in the red, white and blue of the Russian flag.

The tee will likely say something like Blacks For Trump or something equally tasteless and untrue, depending in part on skin tone. And you will be damn lucky if the bus comes back for you at the end of the day.

But $1,000? The old skinflint would never.

The cheap a$$ GOP wouldn't even pay $250 to fill those seats. The going rate for seat fillers is usually $50.
