a year ago

President Trump has faced criticism for launching a second meme token, $MELANIA, just a day after $TRUMP, leading to accusations of greed.

Launch of $TRUMP Meme Token

$TRUMP became a significant event in the cryptocurrency market, with its price soaring and reaching a capitalization of $10.68 billion. This event garnered tremendous interest and discussions.

Rapid $MELANIA Launch

The launch of the second token, $MELANIA, occurred very quickly after $TRUMP's success, which drew criticism about inadequate planning and team greed. This move sparked negative reactions and financial repercussions for other tokens.
