Yeah, shitcoins and fake product launches are new territory. Some of the others were a little more circumspect in graft or more likely it was others driving the larger graft to more careful benefactors. This Iran tarpit really blew open the reality of Trump the man: he is a sock puppet, and I think his graft is probably something like an O(1) problem while the republic faces an O(n^m) problem including unmitigated foreign influence.

It makes me ponder an interesting philosophical question about raking a pyramid scheme along proximal real vs perceived valuation. I guess the damage is all the same, but things get more flagrant the longer it goes on.
