First off, the most noticeable thing is the gold-painted, gold-dusted, and gold-flaked $145-per-pound, free-range turkey.
The dinner comes with two of them ($7,800) seasoned in special imported and exotic Middle East spices ($4,000)
Then there is the stuffing, which starts with imported bread from the UK that uses champagne instead of water ($125 per loaf)
It’s then mixed with $600/oz saffron, Alaskan king crab and Maine lobster, Otoro tuna, and topped with golden caviar from the Caspian Sea ($1,800/oz)
The gravy, made from the renderings of the aforementioned gold turkey, is infused with a $3,650 bottle of Louis XIII cognac
If that wasn't #TuesdayMotivation enough to boost your #Thanksgiving sides, there's also squash topped with spices imported from India (as much as $65/oz), caramelized Egyptian onions ($25 per onion) and chunks of beef bacon from $480/lb imported Japanese Prize Wagyu
Aside from the edible amenities, the $181,000 Thanksgiving dinner also gets its price tag from:
- $50,000 7-day SeaDream Yacht Club Cruise for 2
- 4 tickets to Super Bowl LIV with first-class airfare
- $20,000 shopping spree
It’s *usually* illegal for anyone in government to profit from their office, but Trump is capitalizing on a new way to sell influence
If you follow the money, the $TRUMP memecoin looks like a head fake
THIS is the real Trump honeypot you can get in on (but probably shouldn’t)🧵
First, the obvious: As Rob Blagojevich learned, directly auctioning off an office will land you in prison
But what if you were less obvious about it?
Here's my theory on how President Trump is doing it with crypto (which he confirmed by re-tweeting) ⤵️
Trump, Eric, Don Jr., and even Barron are currently overseeing the build out of one of the largest projects in crypto
The DeFi platform, @worldlibertyfi has already raised close to half a billion dollars via a token sale and outside investors — including foreign nationals
SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce was just tapped to run the crypto task force at the SEC and that's so insanely bullish
When I interviewed her last month, she predicted three things would happen under a pro-crypto SEC
This was the first, the others are even better for crypto🧵
First off, the SEC has been regulating by enforcement with lawsuits based on the fact nobody knows the rules / how to be compliant
Today's announcement to set up a task force to finally establish clear rules confirms the "day one" changes she predicted
Commissioner Peirce is known as "crypto mom" because she understands the benefits of the tech
Her other hope was that she could work with builders to free the industry of fears the SEC would hit them with enforcement actions so they could build freely
There is a very important reason why the Trumps are launching $TRUMP and now $MELANIA so fast before the inauguration
And whether you love Trump or hate Trump, the fact is that waiting another day could've opened him up to Constitutional violations & impeachment (again) 🧵
As laid out in the Constitution, no President is allowed to abuse his office to enrich himself
Specifically, the Emoluments Clause prevents the president from receiving profits/gains from foreign governments
