βNow, as you can see on this Solana chart, one of the biggest alt coins in the market and the landing pad for where Trump launched his meme coin, the day that Trump launched his meme coin marked the exact top of Solana. It's been a vile downhill ride ever since then and now we come to the final point where we're trying to defend ourselves in a brutal bear market.β
β17 billion plus early supporter tokens, the ones regular people bought at launch, get a brand new vesting schedule. This has a two-year cliff, a two-year linear vest, and you have to affirmatively click accept, or your tokens are going to stay locked under terms forever. Investors in this have absolutely gone haywire on X, highlighting the scam under the curtain.β
Canadian relations have deteriorated into a major weakness
βCanada is, they have put, they've done elbows up. They are just done with us. We need them for tourism. We need them for trade and we're losing them. And it's just, it's such a dumb, dumb, unforced error. And you know, Donald Trump is dumb. I mean, he's dumb and he's bad at being president. And so here we go. We've alienated this country that we definitely need.β
JD Vance fired Buckley Carlson for political positioning
βJD Vance is running for president in 2028 And I don't think he fired Buckley just because Tucker's saying shit about Donald Trump. I think he fired Buckley because he recognizes that when he wants to run for president, Tucker is one of those people, as crazy as you think it sounds right now when we're saying it in broad daylight, Tucker is one of those people who could be a potential candidate in a primary against JD Vance.β
βSheik Tanun Bin Zayed and the entities wired 500 million for a 49% stake in World Liberty Fi four days before inauguration. Half of it reportedly flowed right into Trump and WITCOP entities. Weeks later, the US suddenly approved a sensitive chip export deal to the Sheik's companies that national security had actually blocked for years leading up to this event.β
βI think that's the top line here. He's doing this because Joe Rogan is really mad at him and has been saying that he doesn't support him on his podcast to 80 million people. And so Donald Trump is desperately trying to win him back. And so he's decided psychedelics are the way, which I think all of this should say quite a lot about Trump, quite a lot about how we got here, quite a lot about Joe Rogan.β
True dissidence requires maintaining one's moral agency
βThe people in Nazi Germany who, the Germans who resisted the Nazis, they asked themselves like a very simple question. They said, can I live with myself? And it wasn't about like a set of morals or, they were just like, can I live with myself? Like, can I live with a murderer? You know, and if the answer is no, they just didn't do it. I imagine that for some people, it's that simple.β
βAlex Jones is out like completely fireballing Trump now and says that Americans should hang their flags upside down, which is the universal symbol of distress. I'm like, Alex Jones? Gay frog, Alex Jones? I'm like, Pete, really? Oh, yeah. And remember, Jones is a guy, he has that populist instinct to listen to people at the grocery store, the gas station, the diner, that kind of thing.β
Cash Patel faces serious allegations of public intoxication
βCash Patel, sec drunk as I call him. Cash Patel is increasingly seen inside the FBI and the administration as somebody with a drinking problem. He is not going to win this fight because he has over a dozen sources who said, He drinking. This isn't good. It's funny because it's like you think about Cash Patel and you think about his deputy, at least until he went back to his podcast, was Dan Bondrino.β
Trump was excluded from the Situation Room operation
βThere was a real belief that he would do something to either order them to do something stupid or leak it. And either one of those scenarios would have resulted in that that F-15 backseater either being dead or being an Iranian hostage. And they realized that it should tell you a lot that the people who actually are on the pointy end of the stick with our military do not trust their commander in chief.β
Polling shows a consistent decline in Republican support
βMy son is a pollster, and we talk about this every damn Friday, where we do our polling wrap-up. And this is... It has now reached the point where no Republican in the country can feel safe. In safe seats with a plus 20 now, maybe you feel safe. But we used to define safe seats as being R plus five. I mean, even in the ballpark, we're safe anymore.β
β75% of this protocol's net revenue flows straight into DT Mark's DeFi LLC. Some might think that that's not a big deal, but this is a Trump family vehicle with zero capital put in, zero liability taken on, but they get three quarters of everything the stablecoin and DeFi machine spits out. The gold paper says it in plain white and black ink.β
Regulatory settlements coincide with project involvement
βJustin Sun dropped 75 million into World Liberty Fi. He became an ambassador and then all of a sudden, he watched the SEC case against him magically settle for pocket change right after the election. CZ, the Binance founder who pleaded guilty to money laundering violations, and of course, the BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes and the rest, same exact story, pardoned like it was a parking ticket.β
