UPDATE: Since I published, the waitlist website has added a segment reading “Magic Eden partnered with GetTrumpMemes.com to create the first and only $TRUMP Wallet”. This suggests it is indeed Fight Fight Fight LLC (Bill Zanker) behind it.
Official announcement has come out from Magic Eden. No promotion yet from Trump’s end.
@molly0xfff it is bizarre how these folks insist on made up pictures of their glorious leader, never actual photos.

@molly0xfff that image looks more musky than trumpy to me...
@molly0xfff lol whose body is that, because DJT never looked like that
It's so funny bc when they do this all it really does is emphasize how much he does NOT look like that
@molly0xfff so looking forward to the first wallet hack and what the reaction will be. At the same time, I hope the North Koreans are not found to be/declared to be culpable
Something seems to have gone very wrong with this launch. The different organizations running Trump’s litany of crypto projects operate somewhat independently, but it’s not clear exactly where things broke down here.
@molly0xfff Wow. If I ever thought genAI was improving, that unrealistic image set my confidence back a decade.
@molly0xfff Weird thin, young almost not recognizable even facially Donald imagery aside, “The Strump Wallet?” 🤔
@molly0xfff "True Trump Fans", now there's an easy IQ test if ever I saw one.
@molly0xfff Strump. Feels like an older word for something pejorative 😃
@molly0xfff And just when I'm out of popcorn, what a disaster.
@molly0xfff It's lies all the way down. So basically 'which liar gets out of the gate first and takes in the most suckers'.
'This is not our scam, this is a different scam, our scam will be out soon.'
