🇺🇸🍿 Trump AI Pope image sparks new #memecoin mania

Today, Donald Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as the Pope — and within hours, a new token called #POPE was born.

Rumored to be launched by the same team behind #TRUMP and #MELANIA, the coin quickly exploded to a $450M market cap, pumping nearly +900%.

One wallet (linked to the launch team) spent $100K USDC to buy 5.8M POPE just after launch. It sold 1.5M tokens for $428K at $0.286 and still holds 4.3M POPE (~$685K).
