Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash after launching the $TRUMP cryptocurrency meme coin, valued at billions, days before his inauguration.

Experts, including former ethics officials, called it a major conflict of interest, as Trump has pledged pro-crypto policies while profiting personally.

First Lady Melania also launched her own coin, $MELANIA.

Critics warn the coins, which lack intrinsic value and are highly volatile, could lead to lawsuits and public losses.

Ethics experts described the move as one of the worst conflicts of interest in modern U.S. presidential history.

      Words can have more than one definition, friend, and “plurality” has a specific one when referring to voting. I literally linked which definition I’m using.

        They’re called “synonyms”, and the way you’re using this word is not one.

          That’s not what a synonym is at all. I’m not sure if you’re a troll or just supremely misinformed. I’m going to settle on troll.

              “Polite” and “cordial” are synonyms. They’re two different words that mean the same thing, as your linked definition helpfully says.

              “Fire” as in “conflagration” and “fire” as in “to terminate someone from employment” are homonyms. They’re two words that are spelled and pronounced the same with different meanings. So it goes with “plurality” having more than one definition.

                Friend, you’re just flat fucking wrong. Admit it and back instead of being pathetic with the “akshually” bullshit. You used it wrong. Deal.

                    “Plurality” is more than one. “Majority” is the mass of a group. Your initial comment (which you’ve edited) was to suggest that “ALL THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR THIS” and this is what is happening.

                    In actuality, less than 2% of the majority were even in favor of this asshole. You’re trying to specifically inflate the reality of what is going on by verbiage alone, which is, yes, pathetic, but also just fucking sad because you’re continuing this thread instead of simply shutting the fuck up, which you should have done from the outset.
