> I mean, you could already 'donate' directly to the president, and even get a tax writeoff for it.

What? Campaign donations are not tax exempt.

> Hunter Biden made multi-million dollar deals, and got paid 50k a month for a being on various boards... despite being a known drugie.

Musk is also a "known druggie"; his ketamine habit is self-admitted, and he smoked pot on Rogan. (Briefly risking his contracts, even!)

> the "Top 200 holders" get a dinner with the president. Not saying it's better or worse, just saying it's pretty much the same thing that every president has had access to.

Not in the slightest. There are legal limits on how much money you can give the President.



donations to affiliated NGOs (non-governmental organizations) are tax-deductible.

Taking a microdose of ket under medical supervision, and taking a hit of weed which is legal in alot of states is not the same "Smoking crack every 15 minutes" as hunter said he did.

You aren't giving any money to the president here. It's a way for the president to provide utility to the coin. The coin has a vesting schedule, locking the coins so they can't be sold by the insiders.

Only if they're tax exempt NGOs. Which affiliated NGO do you propose?

(I'm… pretty doubtful Musk is actually microdosing.)

The Feds consider both crack cocaine and marijuana as a Schedule I drug; per the DEA, "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse". https://www.dea.gov/drug-information/drug-scheduling

> You aren't giving any money to the president here.

Per the article: "A Trump business entity owns 60 percent of World Liberty, according to the company’s website, and is entitled to 75 percent of certain revenue from coin sales, which could be converted into cash."


"druggie" - lol
