As part of his campaign, Trump also released a meme coin, which created over 500 millionaires within hours.
Additionally, the coin’s value skyrocketed from a few cents to $14, eventually peaking at nearly $5.5 billion.
While some fans criticized Snoop’s involvement, others praised his adaptability and business acumen.
