Trump and his family stand to gain substantially from their corrupt crypto ventures. The rest of the economy will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-crypto-inc

Robert, crypto is about to transform the financial systems around the world. I’m a liberal in Ireland, I’ve been so upset with how the SEC treated Ripple. And the Dems could have welcomed crypto, instead you’ve handed the orange clown an easy win. Please don’t make the same mistake twice.
This isn’t a presidency — it’s a fing Ponzi scheme.*
Trump turned the White House into a front for crypto scams while families struggled to buy groceries. Now he’s back, pimping unregulated garbage to make his crime family richer.
This is not politics. THIS IS ORGANIZED THEFT. 🧨🛑💰
Tell your representatives not to support the weakening of crypto oversight and regulation:

@booker.senate.gov
@gallego.senate.gov
@alsobrooks.senate.gov

I don't think he's saying that for this administration. Besides, he never provided proof that he never took it from the first administration. Add to that all the benefits ex-presidents get, from a pension to security. The pension alone is $220k a year, $20k for spouses!
So he sells crypto, speaks in crypto, and none of it makes a bit of sense, unless it's to get your cents. And so far, he's vacuuming it up from the magas. At least they won't have any to donate to the RNC or their fav candidates. Or their rent. Or mortgage. Or food. Or the kids they love makin
Crypto companies are one of the biggest scams going. In 2023 64 exchanges went under. When there is no transparency or regulation it is simply a license to steal. Crypto is right on brand for the Trump organization
Thoughts @mcuban.bsky.social? You are a crypto proponent. People should find out which reps and senators are behind this push as well…for their own gain.
Just like the first reign of the Drumph family. This is more emboldened and corrupt. The world should reject the crypto as unsafe, unstable. This currency supports terrorist regimes and criminals.
Freeze assets , kinda like he should've put them in a blind trust . When he is prosecuted/convicted they won't be hard to find.
Also freeze Musk assets to use repairing the "work" done by DOGE
I mean a crime family is in power so this is a given. We're all a bunch of clowns and fools for allowing this orange traitorous piece of shit and his cronies to get away with everything and anything they want.
Bloody grifter-hocking his made-up money from the highest office in the land... while the rest of us are getting screwed six ways. How on earth did America become so dumb!?!
Simply put? Two generations subjected to anti-science, anti-reason, religious bigotry, anti-education, pro- idiot culture. Look at the wasteland of "reality TV". Look as how many shows and movies push simpletons over experience and experts. Look at how gullible Americans are. There is a reason.
What if the purpose was to completely devalue both the US economy and dollar? Might that not make cryptocurrency appear to be much more valuable? What if there were no longer restrictions on self-dealing? What if the Trump company had moved solidly into cryptocurrency?
I'm no economist but I wonder if crashing the economy like this works in crypto's favour. I'd like to know if this is yet another conflict of interest.
crypto currencies take enormous quantities of water and energy. (Good thing there’s no climate crisis! I hear there’s and “energy crisis”, though.) Plan: to destroy the dollar, enrich those greedy few at the expense of everyone else, and make payments possible for nefarious evil doings. Allegedly.
Everything with the Tangerine Turd's name on it is a guaranteed scam. He's a conman, and his whole family are all his side hustlers enabling his rotten schemes.
People have to stop voting for them, until then we get what we vote for. Also verify the damn vote stop thinking this is all on the up and up we know there are law breakers at play here.
Grifter in Chief. Greedy, piggish, corrupt, and clueless about the living conditions of those at the bottom economic ladder, including the MAGAs who voted for him.
As a mathematician I advise that there are an infinite number of cryptocurrencies vs a limited number of stocks. Invest accordingly with your finite resources.
Seems most people writing about this have no idea how Crypto operates.. its not a Monolith and there have been literally a Thousand go-nowhere ShitCoins .. tRump's are no different
he set them up for laundering donation money to pay his Court Fines, its obvious and will be forgotten soon enough
Webster defines grift as gains obtained illicitly. Trump’s a well known lifelong grifter but real question’s the same: why aren’t the 45+213 dem senators and reps up in arms?
Where are the 50.1% of the voting population’s anti-trump voters out en masse with hoes, rakes and pitchforks?
Trump took that ambiguous, completely fabricated, SCOTUS "Immunity" ruling as a Hitler pass. We are in a dictatorship. There will be no "Greater Later." They are rarely extricated without violence. All day long we scratch our heads and ask each other, "Isn't this crap illegal?"
He can also launder extorted $ & emoluments thru his crypto or just embezzle Treasury funds straight into his crypto from Musk's stolen databases then launder it
trump is the worst caricature of the corrupt politician that I have ever seen, he makes me think of a (hard-to-believe, but) overblown Boss Hogg, from the "Dukes of Hazard"!
He even has his own STUPID law enforcement clown in patel!
He has his fingers in anything and everything that is EVIL!
All of crypto is corrupt - if it ever had a use case, it was the use case of fantasists playing video games in their parent’s basements. Now it’s a pure Ponzi scheme run by very cynical venture capital.
What a bunch of corrupt grifters the Trumps are. They are the most selfish arrogant people who are totally consumed with increasing their wealth and power. Not a shred of patriotism in the lot. Everything they do is transactional.
Have you ever known a predident to sell shit online for more money? Shot glasses, tiny garbage trucks, now pushing crypto.
Watch the video clip of John Stewart on trump.
We need to worry more about VOTER CHALLENGES and GERRYMANDERING and HACKING and less about Trump personal wealth. If we win he goes strait to jail anyway. Also any harm to the economy is in our favour. Im a trader, I don't want that, but it is. The economy has hit harder than anything else. Reality.
The stock for these BS companies is tanking today. No one going to address that? Or is DJT (Trump Media) for something else? It's in the hardest falling stocks of the day.

Every opportunity used to enrich!
Everyone and everything is game at any cost if it means he can make a buck!
That's all Donald Trump cares about, has ever cared about, and will ever care about.
..self-enrichment!
I think the first part not being recognized as a problem - is a problem.
Our own fault though.
Even our best can't focus on the root cause.

Whenever DJT is involved, you know there's a scam that only benefits himself.
