I think I actually prefer JR’s reaction to the news as opposed to the ~rest of maga trying to send t&p’s. This one is at least authentic asshole coke head gibberish

My bad.  Chris Chris is a fake character on the Ticket morning show.  Over the top sales guy/coke head who lies and exaggerates about everything.   It’s a fitting description for Jr

Don Jr. GRILLED by CNBC Hosts About Trump Meme Coin: ‘As Bad as Hunter’s Art’

https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/don-jr-grilled-by-cnbc-hosts-about-trump-meme-coin-as-bad-as-hunters-art/

Quote

The hosts of CNBC’s Squawk Box grilled Donald Trump Jr. about the $TRUMP meme coin — which has been heavily criticized by ethics watchdogs who have concerns that bad actors can use the coin to purchase influence.

In the Squawk Box interview on Tuesday, Joe Kernen — who is often (but not always) a purveyor of pro-Trump commentary — confronted President Donald Trump’s son about the coin, which according to one recent estimate has generated more than $320 million for the president and business entities connected to him.

“Is that OK — for your dad to have a meme coin?” Kernen asked bluntly.

Don Jr. noted that the coin was launched before Trump’s second term began, but overall defended the family’s foray into cryptocurrency.

“There was a time … I could call any single banker in New York City, they’d pick up the phone, I’d be able to get a loan for whatever real estate project I was doing across the street,” he said. “Then we got into politics, and all of a sudden, they wouldn’t take your call. You couldn’t get financing. We were de-banked. And what I realized, and my brother realized — because we were the recipients of every subpoena imaginable — was that… we were actually just the top of this sort of pyramid scheme that we didn’t realize we were a part of. That the financial system was totally un-democratized.”

He added, “So we got into crypto not because it was like, ‘Hey, this is the next cool thing.’ We got into it out of necessity.”

Andrew Ross Sorkin — a far more-frequent Trump skeptic than his co-host — pressed Don Jr. about the ethical issues generated by the coin.

“Invariably, people are always going to question whatever any president does,” Sorkin said. “But one of the things that people do demonstrably question is they say this meme coin that your father has creates the opportunity for foreign adversaries, people in the U.S., anybody if they want, to effectively funnel money to the president.”

“It’s as bad as Hunter’s art,” Kernen said — referring to Hunter Biden’s paintings which sold for upwards of $500,000, and whose buyers remained undisclosed. Kernen added, “It just seems like it greases the skids for influence.

“I wasn’t involved in the meme coin,” Don Jr. said. “I’m more focused on obviously the stable coin, the Bitcoin mining.”

“You’re not taking responsibility for the meme coin,” Kernen said, interjecting.

“No, I’m just saying for the reality of the meme coin is it’s sort of a proof of concept that the crypto world understands…that the markets may not necessarily be fair,” replied the younger Trump. “The traditional banking system may not be fair to them. So it’s a proof-of-concept of what I think we can move the needle in crypto. And I think that’s going to be the future of finance.”

Trump's Son Just Went Public With His Company and It Flopped Spectacularly

Like father, like son.

https://futurism.com/trump-junior-gun-failure

Quote

If you're a red-blooded, burger-chompin', freedom-lovin' American, you gotta check out Donald Trump Junior's innovative new company, GrabAGun.

Calling itself "the Amazon of Guns," GrabAGun is revolutionizing the way Americans hoard firearms, offering shoppers a virtual arsenal of pistols, shotguns, rifles, and muzzleloaders shipped straight to their front door.

Though there are nearly 78,000 brick and mortar gun dealers in the US — more than the number of McDonald's, Burger Kings, Subways, and Wendy's stores combined — GrabAGun is entirely online. That's pretty hip!

But how is this different from the thousands of other eCommerce gun websites already on the web, you ask? Well, this one's traded on the New York Stock Exchange, for one. And in case you missed it, Donald Trump Jr is sitting on the executive board. Is that enough for you?

Because it sure wasn't for investors, who snubbed GrabAGun when it opened for public trading on the NYSE Wednesday morning.

"To be able to come back to the New York Stock Exchange and actually take a gun company public feels like such a vindication of all the insanity, all of the 'woke' nonsense that we've been watching and facing for the last decade in America," Trump Jr told Fox Business before the markets opened.

After ringing the opening bell — but not before starting a chant of "USA! USA!" — Trump Jr got a front-row seat to watch his pet project plummet into the ground.

Though shares of GrabAGun opened at $21.40 — under the cutesy ticker "PEW," no less — they quickly dropped around 24 percent after a short spike, ending the day at $13.20. Shares slid further the second day, to around $10.2o at the time of writing, though Trump Jr's equity compensation is still worth a little over $3 million.

However, while Trump Jr's dopey antics are like a siren song for the mainstream press — remember that horrific photo of him brandishing a severed elephant's tail? — GrabAGun's stock flop might have more to do with its merger with Colombier Acquisition Corp. II, a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC.

A SPAC is basically a shortcut to taking a company public. First, executives raise money through a shell company — $179 million, in this case — then merge with the entity looking to fast-track an IPO, in this case GrabAGun.

Financial analysts have argued that, after a merger, SPACs almost always result in negative returns for all but the earliest investors, making them the weapon of choice for sleazy celebrity dealmakers like Trump Jr. Though he'll likely still sit on the board for the foreseeable future, it's pretty obvious that GrabAGun is yet another cynical cash-grab by Trump senior's darling boy.

The likelihood of GrabAGun rallying seems slim, especially given the noxious stigma SPACs have earned over the past five years. But as far as the president's spawn is concerned, it seems the apple hasn't fallen too far from the tree.

Well it's just nice that he's doing something with his wealth and fame to help people.

Edit: No wait, he's just profiting off of and trying to increase the number of the thing that kills more US children than anything else.

is that company new?  Seems like I've been hearing about them for years.

its not new, but they just merged with a SPAC to go public. Their financials are something like $100M in rev/$5M in profits/growing~10% year, so low margin, low growth internet retailer. The only new development is hitching their wagon to the globally respected business mind that is Donnie jr.
