“With the click of a mouse or perhaps the gentle tap of a laptop touchpad, anyone can deposit as much money as they’d like directly into the pockets of the president of the United States. … Last month, the meme coin $TRUMP announced that the top 220 buyers of the crypto coin would be invited to an exclusive dinner with the president.
