Legends TBD for $TRUMP Gala Dinner

Summer 2026 found Trump II's memecoin setting up three reward events for coin holders.  The first was the F1 Grand Prix race in Singapore.  

The F1 race occurred just after the TOKEN2049 cryptocurrency event which drew 25,000 people and headlined Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Ray Dalio and Eric Trump.  Surely Eric donned his $TRUMP baseball cap and mingled with the $TRUMP leaderboard winners.

Smoke from Indonesia wildfires impacted air quality for the event.  Indonesia's President expressed interest in meeting Eric Trump in October 2025 at a Gaza Peace Summit.  

$TRUMP rose from $1.40 to $3.67 during the F1 contest period.  It traded over $2 on the last day of the contest (October 5th).

Event two is yet another dinner with the President at one of his properties.  

The midterm elections put a big dent in $TRUMP's price. It traded around $1.60 in the week prior to November 3rd.  The price fell to $1.22 yesterday and $1.11 today. 

The gala dinner may not be as big a draw.  The "Three Legends" are yet to be named and the event is just over two weeks away.

Event three is a Super Bowl experience.  The start date for this reward competition has not been revealed.

Future House and Senate leaderboards will be full of Democratic Party members.  TechGods, Middle Eastern sheiks and other people who have been throwing money at $TRUMP memecoins will need to decide if that remains a useful "investment."

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod/CryptoBro brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.  

RePEUdiation

Fortune reported on the impotence of billionaire money in the midterm election in light of voter anger over Trump II's Iranian War and ongoing economic hardship.  

President Trump was front and center for this independent voter as I marked the ballot against all but two incumbents, both local.  

Voters repudiated the political Red Team, in part a protest against a system that seems stacked against the little person.

Trump II and his mendacious minions have but months left to craft self-serving deals before a new Congress is sworn in.  

Kalshi already signed a Blue stable of political advisors to navigate the new legislative terrain.  Private equity underwriters (PEU) are polishing or enhancing their Blue cred as are many corporations.  TechGods lurched so far to MAGA right they may have their head rattled trying to reorient.

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more have been one.  We'll see how the Blue Team legislates and holds other branches accountable.  It will be instructive.  

Update:  Blue White House hopeful and former PEU Rahm Emanuel was on Bloomberg this morning while the Reds face some internal soul searching as to how things deteriorated like cracks in a freshly redone Reflecting Pool.  

Politically Connected PEU Speaks on this Election

Carlyle co-founder David Rubenstein read the political tea leaves for the midterm elections.  He proposed different political priorities under varying voting scenarios.

Rest assured that Carlyle and Declaration Partners (Rubenstein's family office) are ready to play under all of those possibilities.  

My wise friend wrote:

David's very comprehensive with this political note. Thank you. He's very hopeful someone carries his interest.

Politicians Red & Blue love private equity underwriters (PEU) like Mr. Rubenstein, and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

Everybody vote.  

Parasites Unite Pre-Election

Kalshi's political Red Team connections are crème de la crème with Donald Trump Jr. as their strategic advisor.  At times it makes sense to shift a bet.  Thus, Kalshi has gone Blue recently.  

Kalshi has proven its predatory nature with nearly 3 users losing money on the platform for every long term money winner.  

"You're not just up against ordinary people on Kalshi, you're up against Wall Street."

Former Biden advisor John Bivona said this upon joining Kalshi in January 2026.

"...At a time when people feel like our financial system is rigged against the everyday person, Kalshi levels the playing field and brings more public participation to the issues that people care about most.”

Joining a wagering site populated by Wall Street does not sound like Mr. Bivona's promised de-rigging.  

Politicians Red & Blue love private equity underwriters (PEU) and their new TechGod brethren (Kalshi fits here).  Increasingly, more are one.

Kalshi knows where to place, or at least hedge, its political bets.

The Richest Bastards

The Super Wealthy can come together for a cause, albeit one very self-serving.  Asset accumulators, otherwise known as TechGods and private equity underwriters (PEU), quiver at the thought of paying their fair share in taxes to support governments that send them so much business.

PEUnity, it's an inglorious thing to watch.  Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

TechGods Don't Care Nor Share

Self serving billionaire TechGods have worn out the patience of the average citizen.  They've trashed industry after industry, while destroying customer service 

Don't Care:

I tried to buy healthy snack bars in Sam's Club but the product would not ring up for the third day in a row according to workers.  I told them their IT people must suck, that is if they haven't been replaced by unreliable and unpredictable AI.  

Walmart's Sparky, Customer Service Assistant, Merchant Tools and Agentic End to End Workflow could not get their Sam's Club scanner to read that barcode, not once over a three day period.

Don't Share:

Founders, from private equity underwriters (PEU) to TechGods, take their companies public for monetary gain but game it so they retain all the control, get financial subsidies for the few taxes they are asked to pay and continue to grow their private jet/luxury yacht/multiple villa/political donor class lifestyle.  Whatever they can shift from their pocket to the company, they do that and more.

Elon Musk has total control of all his corporate entities and he puts them together and takes them apart like Play-Doh toys.  Anthropic plans to keep all the control in a similar fashion.

Meta just changed their capital structure to their founder's benefit.  Apparently, it's just never enough.

My wise friend noted:

Our leaders' objectives line up with Sodom and Gomorrah principles. We're going back to where we started from.

As for Anthropic's IPO generating thousands of instant millionaires,  I got this capitalism thing all wrong. The more money you lose, the more you are worth.

Anthropic lost over $80 billion the first half  of 2026.  

The deal keeps getting better for billionaire TechGods and PEUs, while the average person struggles mightily and workers are ignored.

That's because politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasingly, more are one.

Political Tea Leaves for "tradexyz"

Stanley Druckenmiller, the storied investor backing tradexyz, worked alongside Treasury Chief Scott Bessent and mentored Fed Chair Kevin Warsh.  Stan expects tradexyz to be approved for business in the U.S.  He should know as he rubs shoulders with the political elite, which enable the 24/7 functioning of the insider money funnel.

Tradexyz's website promotes trading anything, anytime with no gatekeepers. 

Druckenmiller posted the following on X:

I am excited to be an investor in trade(xyz) as they partner with ICE to bring 24/7 perpetual futures on Hyperliquid to the United States. As a market participant, I am looking forward to to using their innovative product to enhance my investment process.

I'm not sure that is a draw given the $6.3 billion Binance cryptocurrency theft (which now has the attention of the U.S. Secret Service).

As a market participant I expect my holdings to not disappear because somebody commandeered a company laptop.  It seems everything is asymmetric nowadays.  

A handful of people with the "right keys" funnel $ billions to themselves and their friends.  That game for the greedy never ends and consumes souls for power and other earthly ends.

There is far, far more that money can never buy.  God's peace, love, understanding and acceptance are available to all.  One just needs to stop the taking, the harming, the killing and the destroying.  But most of all we need to stop replacing God with godless, addictive technology.

TechGods, CryptoBros and Private Equity Underwriters (PEU) want to make a new world, one that they control.  I say "a pox on that."  I do not need to trade anything, anytime with no gatekeepers.  

Calling St. Peter...."We need some help down here.  Can you come up with a predictive algorithm for heaven?"  

I believe it's called the Sermon on the Mount, which calls for loving God and loving one's neighbor.  It might be good not to addict your fellow human being.
