The most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen in politics: Trump’s $1.4B windfall from cryptocurrency scheme

His supporters will try to change the subject, perhaps yet again to Hunter Biden’s pathetic get-rich-quick schemes. But they know this is bad. Really bad. … And nearly half the money came from an investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates. …

Update – 7.2.26 – The WSJ is comparing the Trump family’s brazen money grab to Tammany Hall boss George Washington Plunkitt’s “honest graft” approach to government.

Update II — 7.3.26 — Because they know this is bad. From the NYT: “MAGA Base Stays Quiet After Trump Reports Billions in Personal Gains” … Btw: When you include his family’s non-crypto schemes (mining deals, timely VC investments etc), the total haul comes out to $2.2 billion.
