NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump took in nearly $1.2 billion from his crypto businesses last year, a federal filing released Tuesday shows, locking in profits while his investors were socked with losses.
Mere startups when he took the oath of office, the new ventures have now eclipsed in revenue much of his vast property portfolio that took him decades to accumulate. Fueling their rise were billionaire investors and Trump’s own move to quash a federal crackdown on the industry.
Trump got more than $500 million from his World Liberty Financial business selling new crypto products, including “governance tokens,” according to the required annual disclosure report with the Office of Government Ethics. It also showed another crypto business, CIC Digital LLC, took in more than $600 million from sales of souvenir-type “meme” coins stamped with his face.
1.2 billion (that we know of), in a year when he cut Americans off from food aid out of spite, and my eighty year-old parents were driving for DoorDash to stave off homelessness, even as my dad was dying.
It’s wild to me that there are any patriots left.
Despite the fact that Trump’s a grifter POS, it’s capitalism that’s caused your parents to nearly become homeless and needing to work. Since 2015 the elderly, 50+, are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population.
