Golden Trump Statue with a Bitcoin? More Like a Goldmine of Curses 🔗😂

So, check this out: A bunch of people who are as obsessed with memecoins as my neighbor with his vinyl collection decided to pull a stunt that would make even my relatives at a family gathering think twice. In Washington, D.C., I mean, none of them can agree on which coffee shop is better-really high stakes there.

They rolled out this 12-foot statue of Trump, not made of, like, normal metal that doesn’t lose its shine in two weeks, but hard foam. Good choice! Like, duh, it rains. Anyway, this masterpiece or what they call a masterpiece is now sitting in its very own throne on the National Mall. Guess which president it’s across from? Yawn.

“Tribute to our savior.” – Donald J. Trump Golden Statue (@djtgst)

Seriously, though, these guys, students from Liberty University, which I’ve learned is a college not just for students, but for ideas that best not be taken seriously, drove this colossal foam chunk into town. It took five weeks to build, quicker than my phone figuring out climate change is real. Fun little videos online show some machine carving bits off the top like it’s some kind of foam derby.

The parade of live streams was connected to Pump.fun, which cleverly pumped-brilliant name, right?-their tokens.

One organizer, Hichem something-or-other-never mind the name-we’re not in a paragraph on a network news show now-insisted this was about sparking debates about “government-issued currency.” This, he rambled, was their “thank you note” emoji💖 to Trump, claiming him as the crypto savior 🙌. Yup, right. I’m sure he also thanked his cat for letting him sleep on the couch for years.

They say it “showcases” the future of finance, whatever that means. I just think it’s a giant clown balloon brought to life by some Silicon Valley millionaire who bought too much influence and not enough common sense. Their statement? Trump made Bitcoin big. I’m pretty sure it was his look saying “print money” that really made the difference, even though I can’t find that one.

Oh, and guess what? This unveiling matchlessly coincided with the Federal Reserve chopping rates by that magical 25 basis points. More risk-an exciting time for those who like throwing their savings into a knife fight, right?

National Mall: now trending on the local tourism site because of its golden statue saga this year. Yes, it’s the third foam-based Trump tribute. Previous works? A golden hand squashing Liberty, like a toddler pestering your kitchen. And a TV playing a video? Maybe better watch something more sophisticated.

Now, Bitcoin’s been buzzing since Trump was re-elected. Call it the “Bitcoin president” and skip the details that some probably think he invented Bitcoin over a chess game with Kim Jong-un. Go figure.
