thewayneThis is a great quote from Doonesbury's Say What:
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt rebutted criticism [of Trump's crypto dinner], saying: 'The president is attending in his personal time. It is not a White House dinner.' But he flew to Virginia on Marine One. He gave his remarks from a lectern with the presidential seal. And some of the crypto crowd on Friday got a tour of the White House."
-- Maureen Dowd
Congratulations, sweetheart, you just described and failed the Duck Test.
President TACO conned these people into giving him hundreds of millions of dollars to attend this "dinner". They were served poor-grade airline food, allegedly Walmart-grade steaks, he gave a rambling 23 minute speech that had nothing to do with crypto currency or the direction he's steering the nation in regards to it. And then he left. He allegedly had a private meeting with some of the highest donors, I haven't seen anything about that particular meeting.
In other words, per usual, SCAM.
Oh, I almost forgot the second part. And GRIFT.
