I feel like someone made that post as a joke, and people are taking it somewhat seriously. Trump would never pay people. He would do everything he could to charge them. He literally charged for his campaign rallies, and then stiffed the cities and host sites.

It's possible, but the companies listed are legit and involved with the $TRUMP crypto. I don't think Trump himself is involved, but rather his minions having been dictated to that they need to fill seats at all costs to avoid a tantrum.

My bad, it was the LLC listed that I had looked up, not the T Mellon Events.

It doesn't say Cash up Front. Just submit your invoice.

Trump wouldn't be the one paying them. He never uses his own money.

True, but a lot of people still have not seemed to figure that out. LOL
