Melania Trump had to get in on the Griff. She had to drop her own Melania meme coin. When you look at it, it was dollar sign Melania, so it looked like smell Anya. So she drops her own meme coin after Trump drops his meme coin. And if you looked at all of these allocations, they favored insiders so much. So you had Melania or smell on you and Donald Trump just grifting billions and billions of dollars using the office presidency to do it. They then had all these liability waivers though, and said, actually, this isn't about the presidency or politics or anything. Just if you want to show that you love the letters Melania, or if you want to show you love the letters S symbol, S symbol, money, sign AT T R U M P. Then be a part of this great community where we honor letters and symbols. Why are they doing that? Because they don't want to consider it a security. So they're trying to avoid getting sued for the ultimate rug pull. So here's what goes down though, right? So Donald Trump's meme coin is going high. It's increasing. It's increasing. We were warning everybody, this looks like a scam. This looks like the hock to a pump and dumpy thing. And 80%, 90% of the allocation is going to insiders, which means that Trump is probably making billions and billions of dollars. But we said, watch out, be very careful. And then look, I thought that was going to dump and crash no matter what. But then Melania or smell on you, Melania gets in on the action. She releases the Smolenia coin and then boom. Kind of right when that happened, thud. The Trump meme coin boom crashes. This Melania meme coin not doing well. A cascading effect takes place where then even Bitcoin is going down. The crypto markets start to crash. The crypto markets look to be suffering as a result of this. And it Is the oldest tale in the books for Donald Trump and Melania. The greed, the greed, the greed. You couldn't even wait. You had to exploit that position before day one. You two fricking grifters. What else would you expect, though, with a convicted felon like Donald Trump. Trump. And a sexual assaulter like Donald Trump, what else would you expect when it comes to Melania who is out there saying, oh, this is just locker room talk. I'm not really sure what accent that is. This was just locker room talk. When Donald Trump was bragging about sexually assaulting women and non consensually grabbing their genitals. This is who they are. She would sell crypto stuff before. She would sell the scammiest things. She. And they're gonna keep on. They're just gonna sell crap and trinkets like Melania would sell, like Christmas ornaments, Mother's Day stuff. Then she would say it. Some of this stuff goes to charity. But there was no public indication, at least with most of this stuff, which charities this thing is going to. She would sell. She would use these symbols. She would sell, like on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, she would use the image of our troops and sell the photos of, like, our troops for $150, $200 doll each. And it was just a massive grift that we would see. We saw this with Trump. I mean, you know, Trump with the NFT collection, the Trump sneakers, the. The Trump. The watches he was selling for $100,000. The Get Trump guitars. I mean, this stuff was so unbecoming of someone who held this august and dignified office, yet it was so normalized. We have to deal with all the headlines from cnn. Oh, Donald Trump's just pushing the limits of the Constitution. The Washington Post, Donald Trump conquered Washington D.C. i mean, all of these ridiculous headlines. This is just a grift, A whole grift and nothing but the grift. And using the White House, using the office of. This is the presidency, people. This was the office held by George Washington, by Abraham Lincoln, by John F. Kennedy, and if you're, you know, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, this was the office that was held by fricking presidents, and Trump is using it to sell shitcoins. I mean, there were so many people who said, wait a minute, all right, Trump must be hacked. This must be a hack of Trump. And then they were saying, as it relates to Melania, is this a hack? Melania is now doing one. Like, lots of people in this space thought this was so grifty and so that they Couldn't even fathom that Trump or Melania would do this. But then Melania drops her own meme coin and then Trump's meme coin starts to crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash, crash. Her meme coins doing terrible and it's impacting the whole markets. This is at the same time that Donald Trump is set to issue all of these executive orders about the crypto industry and one of the ones that he's going to do. And again, you want to talk about the conflict of interest when he signs the executive order that says that the Treasury Department will add to our strategic reserves massive amounts of Bitcoins and Solano and all of these, you know, crypto tokens to add to our strategic reserves. Trump's now going to try to artificially prop up this market that he's the poster child for. What you don't do. Trump's rug pull. What we're seeing here, at least as of the recording of this video with Trump and Melania, this is worse than the hawk Tua, where the hawk to a girl, the girl who got famous for talking about a sexual act and then she became like a podcaster and then did the ultimate rug pull. No one's heard about her really since December, or no one's heard from her since December when she did her own shitcoin meme coin.

The Trump meme coin would crash regardless. It looked scammy. It had all of the markings of what you should not do. Anybody who. This is exactly what the SEC commissioner under Biden, who all of the MAGA people hated in the whole business community hated because he was for regulation. He wanted to regulate crap like this that gives the entire crypto markets a horrible name. Where Donald Trump and Melania just say, oh, you're just investing in Dollar sign Trump and Dollar sign Melania smell any. And so therefore, this isn't a security. Wink, wink. This isn't about increasing the net worth of the insiders. Look, the securities and Exchange Commission has insider trading laws on the books for securities. Gensler, Biden's SEC commissioner, wanted to apply those to shitcoins and meme coins and this whole grifty market MAGA didn't want that. A lot of the business community didn't want that and said, oh, Gensler, how dare you do this? How dare you infringe upon our rights? This is this regulation? Is that maybe, just maybe, Gensler had a point here when it came to these shitcoins and these meme coins that what? Because Donald Trump and Melania say these are not securities and that you're just showing your love of the letters Melania and Dollar sign Trump that we can't be sued for insider trading, we can't be sued for fraud, we can't be sued for all of the types of things that you could for the stock market, which is heavily regul. Just think about that. The bitcoin crypto shitcoin crew was fighting to stop these shitcoins from being regulated the way stocks are regulated. You need to have efficient markets with accountability for things like insider trading. But here come, for this precise reason, the rug pulling this, you know, Smilania comes in, announces her coin. Boom, triggers this crash. All these people are losing their money. You know, who made money, people who were tipped off about this from the outset. People who control the wallets that didn't even have to buy this, that just had the allocations as insiders given to them and having a vesting schedule that's favorable to them. I just, I can't even begin to tell you how utterly, I mean, how utterly despicable this conduct is. And the broader point I want to make here, though, because we should expect this. I mean, look, Melania did nude modeling before. No offense to nude models, but like Melania claimed to be having Einstein visa, she came here under very odd and peculiar circumstances in terms of how she met Donald Trump. And she met him at the Kit Kat Club where rich Manhattan men would meet Eastern European women who were brought in from modeling agencies. That's how Donald Trump met Melania in the early 2000s. He would go to these clubs, right? It was around the time that he was hanging out with Epstein. It was around the time that Ghislaine Maxwell was finding Trump women. And then just separately and aside from that, but in this timeframe, he would go to the Kit Kat Club and then there would be separately modeling agencies that would make introductions separate from Epstein, would make introductions to women, you know, from Eastern Europe and, you know, to these wealthy men. That's how Donald met Melania. Then she got an Einstein visa and boom, she accelerated here. She marries Donald, then she gets citizenship here quicker than anybody else. Look, the final point I want to make is peace in Ukraine on day one. I don't think so. Lower prices on day one. I don't think so. Housing more affordable on day one? I don't think so. Donald Trump is a weapon of mass distraction. We should get pissed at what Melania is doing, what Trump is doing, but we gotta always bring it back to weapon of mass distraction. What about the lower prices? What about anything you promised? And these freaking more. They couldn't even wait until he was in office to pull this crap. Horrific stuff. Hit subscribe.

The MeidasTouch Podcast: Episode Summary
Title: Melania SCREWS Donald and COST HIM BILLIONS at Inauguration
Release Date: January 20, 2025
Host/Author: MeidasTouch Network
Summary By: MeidasTouch Podcast Team
Introduction
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas delve into the controversial actions of Melania and Donald Trump surrounding their involvement in the cryptocurrency market. The discussion highlights the alleged financial manipulations, the impact on the broader crypto ecosystem, and the implications for democracy and market integrity.
Melania and Donald Trump's Cryptocurrency Ventures
Speaker C initiates the conversation by addressing the Trump administration's foray into the cryptocurrency space, particularly focusing on meme coins launched by Melania and Donald Trump.
"Melania Trump had to get in on the Griff. She had to drop her own Melania meme coin... Donald Trump's meme coin is going high. It's increasing. We were warning everybody, this looks like a scam."
[00:30]
Alleged Grifting and Insider Allocations
The hosts argue that the creation and distribution of these meme coins were orchestrated to benefit insiders disproportionately, citing that 80-90% of allocations favored those within Donald Trump's inner circle. This structure suggests a pump-and-dump scheme aimed at generating substantial profits for the insiders at the expense of ordinary investors.
"And 80%, 90% of the allocation is going to insiders, which means that Trump is probably making billions and billions of dollars."
[00:30]
Market Manipulation and Crypto Crash
Despite initial warnings about the dubious nature of these meme coins, the hosts observed a subsequent market crash tied to the release of Melania's own meme coin, Smolenia. This event not only led to the downfall of Trump's meme coin but also had a cascading negative effect on the entire cryptocurrency market, including major players like Bitcoin.
"This Melania or smell on you, Melania gets in on the action... the Trump meme coin boom crashes... the crypto markets start to crash."
[00:30]
Conflict of Interest and Regulatory Concerns
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the conflict of interest arising from Donald Trump's role in issuing executive orders related to the crypto industry while simultaneously promoting his own crypto ventures. This dual role raises questions about the integrity of market regulations and the potential for policy to be influenced by personal financial interests.
"Donald Trump's now going to try to artificially prop up this market that he's the poster child for. What you don't do. Trump's rug pull."
[00:30]
Insider Trading and Regulatory Loopholes
The hosts emphasize the challenges regulatory bodies face in applying existing insider trading laws to the burgeoning market of meme coins and cryptocurrencies. They critique the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under the leadership of Gary Gensler, for attempting to enforce stricter regulations, which were met with resistance from MAGA supporters and the broader business community.
"The SEC commissioner under Biden... wanted to apply those to shitcoins and meme coins... MAGA didn't want that."
[08:52]
Historical Context and Personal Scandals
Further delving into the personal histories of Donald Trump and Melania, the hosts connect past scandals and questionable behaviors to their current actions in the crypto market. They suggest that the patterns of greed and opportunism are consistent with their previous public personas and controversies.
"Melania did nude modeling before... she came here under very odd and peculiar circumstances... Donald Trump met Melania at the Kit Kat Club... he would go to these clubs... that's how Donald met Melania."
[08:52]
Impact on Democracy and Public Trust
The episode concludes with a broader reflection on how such financial manipulations by high-profile political figures undermine democratic institutions and erode public trust. The hosts call for greater accountability and transparency to safeguard both the financial markets and democratic processes from exploitation by those in power.
"Donald Trump is a weapon of mass distraction. We should get pissed at what Melania is doing, what Trump is doing, but we gotta always bring it back to weapon of mass distraction."
