The crowdfunding is being promoted on the official Impeach Trump Fund website which reads that Roberto Escobar is now accepting donations to impeach President Donald Trump in 2019. The website has also posted content starting Donald Trump has the worst president that the United States of America has had. The donation can be made by buying the ESCOBAR stablecoin on the website https://escobartrump.org/. The Escobar ICO also claims that USDT or Tether is not a trustworthy stablecoin and Escobar Stablecoin is planning to compete with USDT. They are also claiming that Donald Trump had ordered GoFundMe to close down their funding after they had received $10 million investment. Olof Gustafsson, the CEO of Escobar Inc, the company running the ICO and the stablecoin told Hard Fork that earlier their aim was to raise $50 million using GoFundMe platform but their funding was shut down b the website. Just within 24 hours of being shut down, they launched the ESCOBAR stablecoin for avoiding anyone to censor them again.
