    Whataboutism is a rhetorical tactic, often a logical fallacy, where someone deflects criticism or an accusation by responding with a counter-accusation or by bringing up a different, often unrelated, wrongdoing by the accuser or another party, typically asking, "What about X?" to avoid addressing the original point, muddy the waters, and imply hypocrisy, famously used in Soviet propaganda but common in politics and daily arguments.

    The downvotes and comments actually show that you made a valid point. Gavin and Pelosi are prime examples of people who’ve messed around with billions of dollars. “Orange man bad — he’s a rapist, he steals!” Yeah, yeah, we’ve all heard it. But let’s be real: corruption exists across the entire political spectrum.

    Clinton has plenty of suspicious photos out there, yet on r/pics and other Reddit forums, people constantly post obvious AI images of Trump. We get it — he’s a Republican, he doesn’t align with your views on social issues l— but do you really have to be that petty?

    Are you seriously saying you’ll turn a blind eye to one side while relentlessly attacking the other?

    Down votes are a compliment on Reddit. Facts, people need to search for pelosi and her inside trading. Robbing American people. Shorting the indexes, betting AGAINST the county and profiting from it.

    Specifically I wouldn’t say that’s good, but I would rather to have that than to have the “authorities” control over everyone’s money. The “authorities” are just people who seek power.

    Same things applied to guns, would you rather everyone has guns or just the police and military?

    Looking at the gun related death statistics, I'd rather have only the police and military have guns tbh. Furthermore, a well armed militia doesn't stand a chance against the military in this day and age.

    Trusting the government is not an intellectual flex. But if you like Trump and ICE and the police to be the only ones with guns, I guess more MAGA power to you.

    The institutions have been going heavy on bitcoin ETFs lately. They aren't buying so much btc, but Wall Street is definitely betting on btc going up. Even vanguard joined the party. 2026 will be interesting.

    So this is the idea crypto which is starting supposed to be not associated with governments is now co-opted by a government rolling off its debt into stable coins through tether and buying bitcoin so that’s how it’s gonna be they think that we’re going to purchase all this debt through crypto good luck

    If anyone reads the article they had $2B before and now "in total" they have $1B. That means they are selling more than they are buying.

    Summary:

    Trump Media & Technology Group recently purchased 451 Bitcoin for approximately $40.3 million, increasing its total holdings to 11,542 BTC valued at over $1 billion. This acquisition is part of the company's broader crypto treasury strategy, which includes plans for a Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF with Crypto.com as custodian.

    Key Points:

    • The company previously reported around $2 billion in Bitcoin and digital assets earlier in 2025
    • Trump Media stock ($DJT) surged ~42% last week following an all-stock merger announcement with TAE Technologies, valuing the combined entity at over $6 billion
    • The merger shifts the company's focus toward fusion energy to power AI operations
    • The company is majority-owned by the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust and led by CEO Devin Nunes
