For a guy that had so much going for him.... what a way to destroy his momentum....
Yet Trump can have his own shitcoin as can Melania?
With impunity it seems.

Timed his scam better - before he was in office. He's always been a scammer tho, so it's not news. Not a highbrow moment. Not interesting.
Scammers be scamming.

Trump and Melania issued their own shitcoins from which they stand to profit directly after Trumps victory in the elections.
Milei simply shared the news of a new shitcoin (one that appeared intended to promote Argentine enterprise) and one he does not profit from directly.
Milei may have been conned but Trump is a con.

One thing I think should be noted and I am no expert on IP law here but it is an interesting thing for someone to issue a memecoin about themselves. Lets be honest Trump, Melania, Barron they are all set up to be memecoins and instead of their likeness and status being used they did it themselves and I mean... its not the stupidest idea you create and drive the narrative then.

It is a massive abuse of power and position.

Is it? He was not sworn in yet and why should he let someone else literally scam his supporters? Again his crypto is up over 140% last time I checked from launch and if you bought it during the massive hype well that also capitalism baby
Agree.
I'm even willing to give Milei the benefit of the doubt on this one, except that it absolutely does not inspire confidence in the man. Why does he take meetings with SOL scammers? Is the person that vouched for them in prison or exiled yet?
He can play the role of the innocent, but bottom line it's a really bad look in terms of competence and a big shit stain on the institute he heads.

So two things....
First Trump's is literally called a meme coin so is Melania's they didnt hide that. LIBRA was supposed to be some sort of crypto that would fund small businesses and startups either Trump nor Melania's ever mentioned anything like that and again literally put meme in the coins name.
Second are we looking at the same graph with Trumps? It came out at $8.5963 and is currently $16.9 according to your graph.... since launch it has gained over 100% so thats wildly different. Both Trump and Melania also seem to have pretty solid safe guards in place to prevent a rung pull... I mean it didnt happen did it? Your complaint about Trump in particular would be like me complaining that I bought Nvidia at its highest level and now its down. Well I bought it at a bad time that sucks for me.

yeah, sorry... you'll have to forgive me, I don't shitcoin and I don't know the difference between a meme shticoin and a utility shitcoin
