We Americans love to worship our celebrities. You made an excellent point, we don’t personally know him, and he doesn’t personally know us. We delude ourselves if we think otherwise.
That is a great point, Simon. Celebrity worship has replaced monarchy in America. In a monarchy, it's the royals who are often the focus of public attention and gossip. But we don't have that here, so we make do with celebrities and politicians.
In Trump's case though, it's more complicated since he is a celebrity and has been for many years, but he is also a very successful politician that represents a certain portion of the electorate. So I think it is easy for people to fall into the trap of following him, even when it might not be a good thing for them personally.
We will see how the coin thing plays out, but you can already see the volatility. I hope people who buy it take great care not to lose money they might need, and I also hope if they buy it they make some good money too.
