Opportunists are the people who know how to make the best out of the situation, and this is what this crypto trader did with Trump’s conviction. Earlier, the ex-US president, Donald Trump, was convicted of 34 felonies, including falsifying records to get out of sex scandals he was involved in with the adult industry star Stormy Daniels. Trump has falsified business records, including the reimbursement of his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for hush money payments for the 2016 campaign for the White House.

With the revelation, many Trump-based meme coins entered the market, and a few boomed instantly, making millions for investors.
