This is a multi-parter.

A man featured in a recent Reuters investigation of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency profiteering, who essentially watched his life savings be wiped out by the price collapse of crypto and stock investments hyped by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. All told, he found himself down by $32,700 on shares of ALT5 Sigma, a little-known crypto company chosen for “partnership” with Trump’s World Liberty Financial, which subsequently lost more than 90% of its value in the last 10 months. But no matter, the guy knows exactly who is to blame for his financial misfortune: It’s clearly the fault of Democrats that his money now lines Trump’s coffers. He told Reuters that wicked Democrat and “anti-Trump investors” possessed the power to drive the company out of business by taking short positions against Trump-boosted crypto projects.

“When a stock has presidential backing in a way – at least from his sons – you would think it would go up,” said the man, a 45-year-old machinist in Indiana identified only as “Matt.” “Here’s the dark side. I know all of these globalists have TDS and they are just going to short it.”

"I’m telling y’all that someone with an extreme case of TDS geoengineered this weather in DC. Same way they geoengineered Trump’s inauguration to be one of the coldest in U.S. history. People with TDS hate Trump more than they love America," she wrote on X.

Now, I am guilty of having had many grandiose thoughts and ideas in my life, very few of which have ever come true, but since when does someone control a heat wave in the middle of summer? A heat wave in July? That’s never happened before, and according to the article, she pointed to the cold on 1/20/25 as part of the same plot.

Yes, because it’s never cold during January, it’s never hot in July.

And as far as the crypto thing - I’ve made some not-so-good choices in my life, some I’d like a mulligan on, but I’ve *never* been conned by this doofus. How many get conned over and over and over again and then blame someone else.

I don’t get it. We’re supposed to celebrate 250 years tomorrow when we’ve devolved to an unrecognizable point as a nation these last 11 years?
