Crypto trader Johnny has doubled down on TRUMP, expecting a rebound fueled by future developments.

He believes the president will not allow the coin to fail prematurely, and with a 60% correction from its peak, he foresees a strong recovery.

Statistics: In its first 24 hours, OFFICIAL TRUMP ranked among the top five cryptocurrencies by trading volume.

At its peak, the combined valuation of Trump meme coins exceeded Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway's top investment, Occidental Petroleum.
