They're not investors. They're combination of idiots and people who discussed things with him/his family prior and used buying the rugpull coin as a way to transfer a large bribe for a pardon or a child or something.

I don't know how anyone can not understand this
Why not both.
There were almost a million investors. I am sure there were dozens or hundreds that used Trump coin for a bribe...but that still leave about a million investors.
Hence the original comment saying "a combination of idiots and..."
Classic con artist tricks, target rubes and rely on their greed.
but free money!
Only the suckers.
And they did not recognize that he was just collecting donations? Next time you know him better.
Ohhhh, so they need to go collect some favours post haste, assuming the dementia hasn't already moved him on from that grift ..
"Nearly a million idiots"
FIFY
It's funny how he's pulling the rug from under the very people that support him. Not a very sustainable strategy, but then he doesn't do anything sustainable does he
It’s funny how he’s pulling the rug from under the very people that support him.
And they'll still happily give him money because they're fucktard mouth breathing cultist dipshits who are a waste of carbon and oxygen.
Thry will give him every last penny and ask him to please take their family too (as property), while he is at it.
You're being too kind
He inhabits a 80-year-old, badly abused and decomposing body and he doesn't care about anybody else including his own family. "Sustainable" is probably not what he's going for at this point (if it ever was).
They literally bought crypto from a con man, hard to feel sorry for them.
Isn't it all just bribes anyways?
The money is not gone. It is just in someone elses pocket.
But guess who made a billion, hmmm, funny how that works....
🤭🤣😂 (sorry, I don't find words for this)
