According to Donald Trump America is in the “Golden Age.” His starkly delusional misrepresentations of the state of the union paint a fantastical picture of a nation that he says is enjoying record levels of personal wealth. And for himself and his wealthy friends that’s true. However, for everyone else, Trump’s fallacies are a deliberate but futile effort to persuade the American people that they are uncommonly prosperous and happy.

Never mind the war that Trump started in Iran. Or his inflationary tariffs. Or his deployment of ICE thugs in U.S. cities. Or his suppression of voting and the free press. Undeterred by reality, Trump insists that he is the real Prince of Peace, and that he has single handedly driven down the costs of groceries, gasoline, housing, healthcare, and every other necessity of life that people are currently struggling to afford. And he expects his glassy-eyed disciples to believe those flagrant lies.

Emblematic of the financial fiascoes over which Trump presides is his famously failing Truth Social enterprise. The stock for his “Trump Media and Technology Group” (TMTG) has recently sunk to new lows. Almost exactly one year ago Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs that he promised would generate trillions of dollars in GDP growth and eliminate inflation. But not only has that not materialized for the broader economy, his own TMTG stock (Truth Social) has dropped a whopping 68%. In April of 2025 it was trading at about $26.20 per share. As of Friday it’s still a dud at about $8.50.

So what is a plummeting investment scammer to do under these conditions? Well, obviously they are introducing a new layer of corruption to fleece more funds from their feeble flock. Which is why TMTG just announced that…

“Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. plans to issue a new cryptocurrency, which will be distributed among its shareholders. […] The coins won’t represent ownership of DJT shares, and may not be transferable or exchanged for cash.”

This new crypto coin venture joins a wide array of business lines that TMTG is stuffing into its portfolio. They include a nuclear fusion operation, a sports wagering marketplace, and a cryptocurrency treasury that began with a poorly timed $2 billion bet on Bitcoin, which was promptly cut in half from their $118,000 purchase price to its current price of about $67,000.

The opportunity for corruption has been way too compelling for Trump to resist. Consequently, he has used TMTG to enrich himself by having his Department of Homeland Security buy ads on Truth Social to recruit ICE agents. And in a secret deal he took $500 million from Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi for a 49% stake in Trump’s World Liberty Financial. And after all of that, TMTG is now exploring spinning Truth Social off from the parent corporation in an effort to artificially juice the stock price.

These blatantly unsavory business transactions are just the latest examples of the criminal practices that are part and parcel of Trump’s methods of operation. What follows are some of what he has conspired to do in the recent past…

Trump’s Scammy Media Stock, and Truth Social Parent, Completes a Classic Pump and Dump
The merger of the Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG) with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion startup. TAE’s energy products are at present speculative and they have no facilities generating any power resources. Nevertheless, the news caused TMTG’s stock to surge 33%, but two weeks later reversed course back to around $12.80. So anyone who jumped in on the news is already suffering a 25% loss.

The Trump Media and Technology Group (Truth Social) Scam Reflects His Fondness for Fraud
During an interview on CNBC, Trump complained that he has been treated “very badly” by banks that he alleged were discriminating against him. Of course that might be because of the 34 felony convictions he has for defrauding banks. Not to mention a civil lawsuit finding of liability that cost him about half a billion dollars.
