'Just Another Scam': Donald Trump Mocked for Handing Out 'Crypto Burgers' to His Fans at New York Cryptocurrency-Themed Bar
Former President Donald Trump stopped by a New York City crypto-themed bar, where he signed autographs for his supporters and handed out promoted "crypto burgers."
A video was shared by Trump's deputy director of communications of the GOP nominee, which showed the politician standing over a table of burgers, scanning people's QR codes.
“Who wants a hamburger?” Trump said as the crowd inside cheered.
“Those suckers are good too!” he said while handing out burgers to people inside of the bar. “This is a crypto burger, actually you should name them — name them Bitcoin and a crypto.”
The clip was shared all over social media, where many of Trump's loudest critics claimed the Republican leader found another way to "scam" his supporters for as much money as he could get.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared the video, and wrote, "He’s become a caricature of himself. He is the living, breathing email scam that’s so absurd you might be inclined to reply just to play along."
Another user commented, "From the guy who doesn’t trust electronic voting machines!? I guarantee he hasn’t put any of his own money into this crypto! Guaranteed! He is a grifter of the first order."
A third person asked, "Does he actually want to be president? Or is campaigning just another scam from chumps?
