this topic. Do you understand Sen. Rochester's concern over trump's "financial entanglements?" PLEASE, no "ya but" replies, no "why do you hate trump?" replies, just your considered opinion on the subject matter.

Trump’s crypto agenda is being threatened by his pursuit of personal profits​

Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester of Delaware was one of the four. She pointed directly at Trump’s financial entanglements.

“I also remain concerned about the ongoing self-dealing and financial conflicts of interest being carried out by the Trump family,” she wrote in a statement on Thursday.

It’s not just about the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins. There’s also the Trump family crypto venture World Liberty Financial, which was established last year and launched a stablecoin just as the administration pushed for looser regulations on digital assets.

Reports have indicated that Abu Dhabi-based MGX is using Trump’s stablecoin for a $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance, creating yet another potential conflict of interest for a sitting president.

Trump's stablecoin chosen for $2 billion Abu Dhabi investment in Binance, co-founder says​

May 1 (Reuters) - A stablecoin launched by Donald Trump's World Liberty Financial crypto venture is being used by an Abu Dhabi investment firm for its $2 billion investment in crypto exchange Binance, one of World Liberty's co-founders said on Thursday.
It's the latest in a series of Trump family crypto-related ventures, including a "meme coin" launched in January, that have drawn criticism from government ethics experts and political opponents over potential conflicts of interest.

Whether trump is benefitting financially from being prez is no longer in question. The question is are Repubs okay with it and if so why?

Whatabout you supporting a, literally, brain dead man for four years and swallowing that lie the entire time - thinking you have an ounce of validity to give an opinion on others?

 

[Harry Dresden]

I'm sorry to say the lack of replies from Repubs suggests something disturbing. Something those of us on the "other side of the aisle" have been asserting for some time. Namely, trump's supporters are not inclined to confront basic truths about the man they voted for. Perhaps because it reflects poorly on themselves.

My apologies to any Repub who gave a serious reply but that I didn't see cuz I have you on ignore. There are 78 of you.

78 on ignore and you want a serious discussion?...only pussies put people on ignore for challenging what they say...are you one of them pussies berg?...

 

[CrusaderFrank]

There is more. People are losing their ass with Trump crypto. It's a ponzi scheme.

So dont buy any more

You want to have a serious discussion about Trump's financial entanglements, which you find disqualifying but the first rule is that i cannot mention the financial entanglements of past presidents who you have strongly supported?

I'll do it if you admit that that is what you want. I need a "yes" not a "yes but" and then I'll have that discussion, sure.

I used to hear all the time about money that Biden supposedly made from Ukraine and China.

No problem there, right? Just improving his financial position in the world, right?

You have to understand the difference between a kick back and a business deal.

Unlike Biden, this great man is in the process of bringing great wealth to America. First with the massive DOGE savings which will lead to the actual FIRST reduction in government spending ever. Then there's the trillions in investment he's bringing to America, then there's the trillions in tariffs he's bringing from countries who won't cooperate. If he were a CEO bringing home the bacon like this, his salary would be in the billions. America is damn lucky Trump is loaning us his vast expertise. Can anyone imagine freaking Kamala having the ability to weave an amazing financial tapestry like this? She doesn't have even close to the intelligence or ability.

You ignorant muddy Sheeat disturbing maggot. You know the topic. If ALL will benefit (and Trump) also from good American policy, then what are we supposed to do? NOT do it? You make no sense. Simply your leftist TDS is high.

We arent talking about payoffs or money laundering thru Coke head Hunter you human bag of hog guts. SHUP for one day pizza face UTAH butt muncher!

My apologies to any Repub who gave a serious reply but that I didn't see cuz I have you on ignore. There are 78 of you.

I've been looking at this for nine years now, and here's where I am at the moment:

In order for a person to be willing to ignore, avoid, deny and forgive this much, they have to essentially be desperate. We've all heard Trump warn his flock many times, "you won't have a country any more". And again, the world has seen this before -- a country in such shitty shape that its populace is willing to turn itself over to an authoritarian.

The problem here is that the voices they choose to trust have convinced them that things are far more desperate than they really are. So they've taken valid (in my opinion) concerns and inflated them into existential threats. And that's why the flock just doesn't care about his constant transgressions, regardless of how bad or destructive they are. These people are desperate.

 

[initforme]

Wealthy people know that being middle class in america is a meh life. So they go out and make tons of money to grab happiness. Can't blame them for that. Most average working people are from kind of happy to not happy at all. Avoid this by having wealth.

 

[Mac1958]

So his crypto pump-and-dumps are "business deals"???

 

[Correll]

“…the Repub posters on the board to have a serious discussion, absent whataboutisms…”

That’s not going to happen – all Republicans have are lies, deflections, and fallacies.

The blind partisan right is incapable of having a serious, objective, factual discussion about anything.

You call us nazis.


That is a statement of intent, of you wanting to utterly destroy us.


You don't live with nazis. You don't work with nazis. You don't meet nazis half way.

You destroy them. You hate them. You kill them and salt the earth where they used to live.


In such a conflict, whining about some possible financial entanglement, seems irrelevant.

Like anyone else can make. Unlike the Ukrainian deals that only a national leader sells influence.

Absolutely correct. The essence of the conflict. Which is why this latest Trumpfoolery is silly. Too late. We know.

You say authoritarian, but when Trump's agenda succeeds, he will automatically have LESS power, as his agenda weakens and decentralizes government. Name one dictator who has ever diminished the power and money of central government.

 

[Rawley]

You bet your ass on Trup crypto? Well, that wasn't too smart, was it?

 

[leftwinger]

If people all over the world want to invest or purchase in American products ? Now that’s a bad thing? Trump pulled out of all his business’ to work as President. Be thankful. If others are running it well? Good for them.

 

[Rawley]

That has been my experience. I'm really hoping there are a few Repub posters out there who are willing to examine the facts and make a comment based on those facts.

Examine the facts for us, put a dollar figure on it. How much has Trump made on crypto since the inauguration.
