The satirical depiction of "throne-sitting" wealth and dominance parallels the post's comparison of platform founders to presidents, with the crown symbolizing the elevated, almost monarchical status of $ALON over $TRUMP in the memecoin hierarchy. > > "if memecoin traders are the new celebrities then platform founders are the new presidents $ALON > $TRUMP" ### Post #8 by @cryptogoos > **Author:** CryptoGoos ([@cryptogoos](https://x.com/cryptogoos)) > **Metrics:** 8 likes · 2 retweets · 2 comments · 1.6K views > **Posted:** 2026-08-16T21:24:00+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/cryptogoos/status/2089100889076150389](https://x.com/cryptogoos/status/2089100889076150389) > **Visual Note:** The image displays two side-by-side candlestick charts showing the dramatic decline of two politically-themed meme coins: "OFFICIAL TRUMP / USD" (left), which peaked near $100,000 and has fallen to around $1.400, and "MELANIA / U.S. Dollar" (right), which spiked to roughly $16,000 before collapsing to about $0.0420. The post's claim is directly visualized by these charts—the steep downtrends illustrate that $TRUMP would need a ~6,000% rally to reach its all-time high (≈$77 → $1.40 ≈ 55x), while $MELANIA's drop from ~$16,000 to ~$0.06 would require an even more extreme ~26,000% recovery. > > "$TRUMP would have to rally 6,000% just to reclaim its ATH. $MELANIA needs an insane 20,000%. Absolutely ridiculous." ### Post #9 by @cozacs > **Author:** Scott ([@cozacs](https://x.com/cozacs)) > **Metrics:** 8 likes · 0 retweets · 0 comments · 807 views > **Posted:** 2026-08-16T20:40:18+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/cozacs/status/2089089893607813391](https://x.com/cozacs/status/2089089893607813391) > > "Mid terms in November, I suspect scam season will run up until the Congress flips Democrat. $trump and $wlfi will likely complete their life cycle by this point. They know if/when Dems take congress the Trump family scam will be over...
