Selling of the presidency: Trump family nets half-billion dollars from secret crypto deal with UAE leaders 

They know it’s wrong. They know it’s corrupt. They know it’s far worse in scale than anything Hunter Biden ever did overseas. But you won’t hear a peep of protest about this among Trump supporters and Fox News watchers for obvious tribal/partisan  reasons. From the WSJ:

“Four days before Donald Trump’s inauguration last year, lieutenants to an Abu Dhabi royal secretly signed a deal with the Trump family to purchase a 49% stake in their fledgling cryptocurrency venture for half a billion dollars, according to company documents and people familiar with the matter. The buyers would pay half up front, steering $187 million to Trump family entities.

“The deal with World Liberty Financial, which hasn’t previously been reported, was signed by Eric Trump, the president’s son.”
