MAGA in a nutshell.

Cryptocurrency news can be hard to follow. For instance, I recently encountered the term “tokenized coin” and spiraled until I could calm myself down with a beveragized drink.
But a new Reuters report on the Trump family’s crypto profits makes things real easy to understand.
According to Reuters’ own analysis, The Trump family has been able to “generate at least $2.3 billion in profit from investors since Trump retook the presidency,” while losses for the approximately one million people who put their money in Trump-related crypto investments “totaled $2.3 billion at the end of April.”
It’s symmetrical, and also sad.
According to the report, the Trumps profited most of all from sales of $WLFI, the World Liberty Financial governance token, created by World Liberty Financial, a Trump family crypto venture. The Trumps reportedly took a 75% cut of Token sales, and has a 60% stake in the company.
That calculation included sales that were disclosed, along with an estimate of additional sales based on Reuters’ own investigation. World Liberty Financial told Reuters that token was “not an investment product” and that World Liberty “does not validate third-party methodologies for valuing governance tokens or estimating aggregate investor positions.”
The $WLFI story is one of mostly steady decline since August of 2024. One token started out worth about $0.31, but as of this writing is down to about $0.05.
Other sources of Trump family profit, according to Reuters, included the $Trump memecoin. Losses were calculated by analyzing the blockchain itself, since the $Trump memecoin project doesn’t provide revenue disclosures.
Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, accused World Liberty financial of misconduct back in April. That month he sued World Liberty financial, claiming it had frozen his tokens illegally. World Liberty Financial characterized Sun’s actions as a smear campaign, and countersued for defamation.
Reuters’ tally of investors included “retail buyers”—average Joes and Janes, who fired up their wallet apps and made purchases—along with indirect investors who bought other Trump-exposed financial products like ETFs. Reuters notes, however, that “a small number of large traders who were early buyers and sellers of $Trump made big profits.”
In an SEC filing last month, a publicly traded company called AI Financial, which invested heavily in World Liberty Financial tokens, expressed doubt that it could survive another year. A Forbes report from April found that another publicly traded crypto company, American Bitcoin, had declined in in value by $500 million in less then a year, even as its co-founder and CTO, Eric Trump, saw his net worth grow dramatically over the same period.
Despite the Trump Administration’s efforts, Americans are - for the first time ever - getting more of their power from solar than coal.canpakes wrote: ↑Fri Jul 04, 2025 4:52 pmUnder administrator Lee Zeldin, the EPA has cut funding for environmental improvements in minority communities, vowed to roll back federal regulations that lower air pollution in national parks and on tribal reservations, proposed to undo a ban on a type of asbestos and proposed repealing rules that limit planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions from power plants fueled by coal and natural gas.
….…U.S. inflation accelerated in May for the third month in a row, as the Consumer Price Index rose 4.2% from a year earlier, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Wednesday. On a monthly basis, the index rose 0.5%.
A spike in energy prices prompted by the war with Iran was the largest factor in the inflationary surge, contributing 60% of the overall increase while helping push the inflation rate over 4% for the first time in more than three years and well above the 2.4% rate recorded in January.
The energy price index rose 3.9% in May on a monthly basis, following increases of 3.8% in April and 10.9% in March. The energy index rose 23.5% year-over-year. Within the energy index, gasoline prices rose 40.5% compared with a year ago, while fuel oil rose 58.9%. Electricity prices rose a more modest but still painful 5.9%.
Other sectors seeing significant price increases include apparel (up 4.8% year-over-year), transportation services (up 4.1%) and medical care services (up 3.6%).
The core inflation rate, which ignores volatile food and fuel prices, showed a significantly smaller increase, rising 2.9% on an annual basis and just 0.2% on a monthly basis.
Trump says it’s “great”: Asked by a reporter in the Oval Office if he was concerned about the inflation numbers, Trump said he approved. “No, I love it. The numbers were great,” he said. “I love the inflation.”
Trump started to explain his surprising and confusing statement but then veered toward a discussion of oil and Iran. “Because as soon as this war is over, you know I can say it now ... you know we’ve been taking out millions of barrels of oil,” he said, apparently referring to the Persian Gulf, where he indicated that the United States was secretly guiding oil tankers past the Iranian blockade.
Trump again predicted that inflation would fall sharply once the war with Iran is over. “When the war is over? It's coming down. It's going to come down like a rock," he said, before returning to the situation in the Gulf. “And again, we're taking out millions, which, I'm just announcing today for the first time, but we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil. Millions. Every night.”
On his social media platform later in the day, Trump said that he had directed the military to undertake a “secret mission”— apparently not so secret — to guide oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. “This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran,” he said. “Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran!”
He did not, however, explain why he thinks the current bout of inflation is “great.”
Wages suffer: “Inflation is so high that it's erasing all wage gains,” said Navy Federal Credit Union Chief Economist Heather Long. Wage growth was 3.4% over the last 12 months, Long noted, well below the 4.2% inflation rate.
“Americans are getting squeezed financially,” Long said on X. “This isn't just ‘bad vibes’ about the economy. There is real pain, especially for middle-class and lower-income households. It's tough because so many basic items are seeing sizable price increases: gas, electricity, food, medical care.”
Ben Zipperer of the Economic Policy Institute said the recent rise in inflation has wiped out a year and a half of wage growth, leaving workers with the same wages as in January 2025 on average. And there could be more pain ahead as higher energy prices start rippling through the economy.
“So far, excessive inflation has been limited to energy and airfares,” Zipperer wrote. “But as long as the war continues, there is a heightened threat that price increases will spill over to the broader economy, triggering a more permanent increase in the cost of living and further reductions in real earnings.”
It dawned on me when I left the cult that if a God exists it’s a demiurge, which according to certain gnostics, is a lesser creator god who forms or governs the physical world, but is either ignorant, incompetent, or actively hostile toward higher spiritual truth.Some Schmo wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2026 11:51 amThe whole Trump family should be shot and pissed on, and not in that order, and with their idiot mouths open.
If they don't pay the price for their crimes in my lifetime, it's more evidence that the just god idea is damned retarded. I've never known a family more deserving of life in jail. damned pieces of crap.
Seriously, I would take great pleasure in watching Trump's head explode. I'm not joking. It's what this country deserves.
Got it. The MAGA are Dumb damned Losers theory remains in effect:Gunnar wrote: ↑Fri Jun 12, 2026 10:45 pmWhy MAGA fans couldn't care less that Trump and his Administration constantly lies.
Many of them, like professional wrestling fans, are more there for the spectacle and entertainment than for finding out what is actually true or relevant.
