Incident at Trump Rally
There has been a notable increase in Trump-related meme coins following a disturbing incident involving former US President Donald Trump. Trump narrowly survived what seemed to be an assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
The Secret Service swiftly removed the former president from the stage and rushed him to the hospital where Trump showed signs of injury. Tragically, one rally attendee lost their life, while another was hospitalized with severe injuries. The shooter also perished.
Rise of MAGA and STRUMP Tokens
MAGA coin prices soared past $8.20, while STRUMP and TREMP were trading at $0.012 and $0.55 respectively, making them the top gainers on PolitiFi.
Other tokens also experienced significant surges, with Constitutional DAO, MAGA Hat, and BABYTRUMP all seeing notable increases in value. On the contrary, Joe Boden, a meme coin associated with US President Joe Biden, witnessed a 12% decline as news of the incident spread through the market.
Tokens like Gabin Noosum and Kamala Horris, connected to California Governor Gavin Newsom and US Vice President Kamala Harris, showed a decrease of 30% in the last 24 hours.
Officials have stated that President Trump is expected to recover from his injuries. The FBI is actively investigating the shooting incident.
