Memecoins gave a new way to gauge politicians' popularity?

It's not just through polls or public opinion anymore.

There's a new barometer in town, and it's digital. 🧵

Donald Trump, for instance, has an interesting method. His sons have created a digital token for him, called the '$TRUMP'.

Now, you might think Trump dismisses it as a side project of his sons. But here's the catch. It's likely he's keeping an eye on it every single day.

Why? Because it's a 24/7 market. It's a direct reflection of his popularity. And it's accessible by anyone in the world with an internet connection.

So, every rise and fall in the 'Trump price' is a real-time measure of how he's perceived globally.

This isn't just about Trump. It's about every successful politician. They're all extremely narcissistic. They crave validation. They want to know they're doing well.

Even dictators, who might not seem to care about public opinion, are likely to be obsessed with such a popularity barometer.

This is the digital age, folks. Popularity isn't just about public speeches and handshakes anymore. It's traded online, in real-time.

So next time you see a politician's popularity soaring or plummeting, remember, there's probably a digital market somewhere reflecting that.
