Stuff your pockets with investor capital

Pulling off this revolutionary paradigm shift in the target market will obviously require a lot of money—huge, disgusting piles of money raised from Panglossian venture capitalists, preferably via some kind of shady funding mechanism.

Fortunately for the ex-president, there’s already the perfect thing for this: A special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), which is a shell corporation formed for the specific purpose of acquiring another company and rushing it a stock listing with minimal regulatory scrutiny. Of course, it’d be best if this Trump SPAC had a vague-at-best business plan relying mostly on artificial buzz and the promise of quick profits. Perhaps Trump could even rely on his most spineless supporters to throw their cash at TMTG stock. (Real tech-heads call these supporters the “bag holders.”)

If that doesn’t pan out, maybe some kind of cryptocurrency vehicle like an initial coin offering or non-fungible token sale?
