Cross-reference:
Active discussion of what this could mean for Bitcoin. This thread is about Trump himself. There are two sides to this coin.
franky1, I didn’t say that Trump was poor: I said that
I am. Nonetheless, I would like to be able to say that I gave
something to support this high-profile victim of censorship. A little donation would be largely symbolic from his perspective, even if it’s a significant amount to me.
Obviously, I mean Bitcoin only. I don’t do American dollars—I am not inclined to try to get any—and Trump currently seems to have no good means of receiving them, anyway! (I didn’t mention here, Stripe.com deplatformed his campaign right before DB cut ties with his business, and Signature unbanked him personally.)
Even better, as I said, would be if I could help him get his own private wallet set up—preferably, his own full node. Sending new Bitcoiners some starter coin is an old tradition, which fell into desuetude after Bitcoin gained significant market value; I think that it would be warranted here.
As I said, I don’t realistically expect for that to happen. But I mean it sincerely.
I want to get Trump up and running with Bitcoin!trump has managed to syphon away atleast $150m of funds while president. he is not poor.
yes he funnels it away to banks across the world. but if you think deutsche is his sole vault. .. its not
they wrote him a check/bank transfer to take his money elsewhere. he has not lost it.
Incomprehensibly vague accusations—this isn’t going very well... Anyway, I didn’t say that they seized his money. I said that they unbanked him. Given the way that society is set up to make everyone dependent on banks, losing one’s
personal bank accounts can be dreadfully burdensome—and for a business to lose its banking can be fatal.
dont have sympathy for him. changing banks is a monthly-yearly norm for him.
Say what!? Although I don’t know Trump’s private finances, the news article that I linked says that Signature has been his family’s bank for a long time, and implies the same about DB and his business. I also recall having heard much about Trump and DB in the past, but I don’t feel like digging up the information just to make the point.
I think that you are making this up as you go along.
rich people dont hoard funds in any country for more than 6 months.
same as being legally a 'resident' if you live in a country for 6months+.
the secret is to have 3 'vacation homes' and spend only 4 months in each to avoid the burdens of residency
oh and your 'income' wherever you live goes to a tax haven not the bank account where you are currently have a vacation.
Now, you are
way off in liar FUD territory—and off-topic.
Trump is an American. The United States is one of only two countries in the world so tyrannical as to charge its citizens income tax
regardless of residency. Expats who have lived and worked outside the U.S. for
decades are still expected to pay taxes to the IRS every year, lest they be guilty of a “crime” that is prosecuted with lethal seriousness. The tax savings scheme that you describe will not work for Americans. And Trump has obviously been residing in America for the past four years as its President; to my understanding, he has consistently resided there for decades, probably for his whole life.
If you oppose tyranny you probably shouldn't be supporting Trump. In case you haven't heard, he just tried to overthrow the government to stay in power ever since he lost the election.
That’s a straight-up lie, and a facial absurdity only believed by people so blinded by hatred of Trump that they will lap up any swill dished out by the liar-media.
So, I guess you approve of banks
subverting and usurping the U.S. government by applying coercive economic pressure to the President of the United States, with explicit demands that he resign. That’s not a “conspiracy theory”: They just did it, in broad daylight and in the headlines.
