U.A.E. Firm Quietly Took Stake in the Trump Family’s Crypto Company
An investment firm tied to the United Arab Emirates purchased nearly half of the Trump family’s cryptocurrency company last year, making the family business partners with the U.A.E. even as President Trump negotiated foreign policy matters with the Middle Eastern nation.The investment, reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal, was confirmed on Sunday by a spokesman for the Trumps’ crypto company, World Liberty Financial.
Days before his father’s inauguration in January 2025, Eric Trump, the president’s middle son, signed the agreement with the investment firm for a $500 million investment in World Liberty, The Journal reported. David Wachsman, a World Liberty spokesman, confirmed the transaction in a statement to The New York Times.
That agreement gave the Emirati-backed firm a 49 percent stake in World Liberty. Two top lieutenants to the U.A.E.’s national security adviser, Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, joined the board of World Liberty.
The Trump family’s business dealings with the Emiratis have blurred the line between government and private enterprise, alarming ethics experts and congressional Democrats.

Trump’s Staggering $1.4B Payday Since Returning to Office Exposed
Any SNL fans out there? If you saw last night's show you know there was a funny line during the cold open about trump using the chaos in MN as a distraction from the Epstein files release being illegally delayed. It's not the first time the observation has been made that Don uses constant chaos, or as Steve Bannon called it, "flooding the zone," to keep people from being able to focus on any one thing. It's working.
If it wasn't working the story about Don profiting from being prez to the tune of $1.4B would be talked about every day. It isn't. And neither, I predict, will the corrupt crypto deal with the UAE.
Why? Because the zone is flooded. Because trump's followers just don't care. Because congressional R's are too afraid of the electoral consequences to investigate. Even though they obsessed about the "Biden crime family" hoaxes for months in an attempt to smear Joe before the election.
Don's grifting makes the gifts and vacations Clarence and Ginny have taken over the years look like pocket change.
We, as a nation, are supposed to be better than this. There was a time when we were. Address of Senator Nixon to the American People: The "Checkers Speech" | The American Presidency Project
That was before the revelations about Don adulterously schtoinking a porn star, stealing from a charity, defrauding students of his school, cheating investors in his casino company, settling a housing discrimination case, pathological lying, being convicted for committing business fraud, plotting to steal the 2020 election, and refusing to comply with a subpoena for the theft of classified documents..............stopped mattering to millions of Americans. The rest of us are appalled.
