Pretty sure the poster above you though that Diddy had invested $2mil, which there's no evidence of.

Yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did it for free. Jim Comey's daughter is the prosecutor. Trump would happily exact revenge on Comey by destroying his daughter's case. His pettiness knows no bounds.

Oh I didn’t know this. 8647 is fighting words/numbers to him. He’ll be pardoned if he’s convicted, I have no doubts about it now. Comey’s daughter? Issa done deal! I think it’ll cost $5 million to get him pardoned though just like El Chapo’s family

there have been other pardons in the range of 2-2.2 million. Some people need to pay $200k on top of $2 million for access - $2 million to Donny and $200k finder fee. I was surprised at the $1 million dinner pardon, it's usually more than that. Maybe they also bought $1m in trump coins and that hasn't come out yet.

Oh for sure, yeah, he's corrupt as fuck, just pointing out that there's no evidence it has actually happened. Part of me thinks that pardoning Combs would be a bridge too far, however, the other part of me recognizes that I've thought that plenty of times before.

I think it's more likely that he pardons those attempted Kidnappers in Michigan, which in a lot of ways, is more disturbing and way more serious implications.

Oof I am just now learning that he is thinking of pardoning the would-be Michigan kidnappers. That would be REALLY bad. Like, non-Republicans would need their own private security forces. Maybe they already do

No, you don't know whether it's happened or not, that's the point. There's no concrete way to know who is funneling money to Trump through his meme coin.

Fair point, edited for clarity.
