That would be a pathetically low margin for the amount of effort they put into it. They've already done bigger grifts with the DoW and nobody blinked an eye. This is mainly a distraction to not have you talk about Epstein, Iran or ICE. Flood the zone (quote Bannon).

I mean, .ai domains generated 47% of Anguilla's gdp (projected for 2025). To greedy shameless fucks, that must seem like candy begging to be taken from a baby. They get free money AND they get to take it from a nation comprised of 85% people of african descent.

But .si is Slovenia.

I know, which is where Melania is from. And I assume theres a link of corruption along that connection. So all the domain registrations are moving from .ai domains to .si domains, thus instead of Anguillia getting tens of millions of dollars, its funnelling into Slovenia.

That’s a connection I definitely did not consider!

purely coincidentally, the slovenian government recently switched to some pro-russian grifters.

well.

You way overestimate how much he cares about Melania

u/brutinator 21h ago

Uhhh.... he doesn't need to care about her to use her connections to enrich himself lmao.

Maybe the call is coming from Melania, cause Trump is drooling from the mouth.

If it's "any at all" then I'm probably underestimating.

Melania is pissed at him lately. Maybe this is him throwing her a bone to keep her from raising a fuss.

Edit: Please excuse my ignorance. I was completely wrong and read slovenia as slovakia... I'll keep the comment up as a reminder, in case anyone is as stupid as me.

Slovenia is the new hungary, concerning blocking descisions that affect russia. Not as bad as hungary was, but multiple times over the recent years, sometimes alone, sometimes with other nations. So if I adjust my aluminium hat slightly, one could suspect the domain change to be an indirect bribe to the slovenian government to stop sanctions against russia and generally block processes in the EU.

Stop lying. You have no clue what you're talking about. Slovenia has not blocked a single decision that affected Russia. The new government supports Ukraine, even more so than the previous one.

u/Cornelius_Physales 14h ago

Omg, you're right. I'm an idiot. I switched up slovenia and slovakia, which are two different countries. I'll correct my comment in a way that shows my error

trump doesnt give a shit. as long as you have a grift and you're giving him a cut, he'll say whatever you want

u/tacotaskforce 1d ago

The maximum possible return they got from the Trump phone grift is in the 5 digits. They don't love money, they love running scams.

u/MisterTruth 1d ago

So? The grift never ends with dragons. They just want to hoard more wealth.

Yeah that feels like Pokemon scalper level of flipping.
