From the White House’s first ever crypto-focused correspondent, Sander Lutz, comes the true, ridiculous, and terrifying story of how crypto subculture has infected the American economy, and an exclusive insight into how Donald Trump’s illicit dealings are heralding in a new era.

The first time Sander Lutz met Donald Trump, the President mistook him for an IT guy. By his second encounter, Sander was a White House correspondent. And so, by simply being in the right place at the right time, Lutz became privy to the President’s illicit crypto schemes, which led him to a much larger story—and the things he’s uncovered are nothing short of outrageous.

American Meme is the gripping, character-driven tale of a desperate generation that has turned to volatile crypto gambling, a seismic shift that threatens to reshape our politics and infect all corners of our economy. The story begins with the origin of meme coins and the creation of pump.fun, the billion dollar startup dreamt up by three college students that opened the floodgates for anyone to create their own meme coins. From there, it follows how that ridiculous endeavor managed to lure in the President, along with the rest of the nation. Along the way, Lutz brings exclusive access to an extraordinary cast of characters, including: Alon Cohen, Noah Tweedale, and Dylan Kerler, the three founders of pump.fun; Jackson Palmer, the man who invented DOGE coin for laughs and hardly made a dollar; and a slew of white house insiders that believe Trump’s stake in the crypto world stands to erode the powers of the SEC that have been in place since the wake of the Great Depression.

Full of pithy humor and expert clarity, this is the definitive account of a venture that started as a joke but has exploded into a $120 billion inferno embraced by the White House and poised to turn the American financial system into a casino designed to enrich a select few and screw over everyone else. Here begins the death of the American Dream and the supremacy of the American Meme.
