Trump’s Crypto Goldmine: $2.4B and Counting! 💰😲

by

In a twist of fate that could only be scripted by the hand of irony itself, the illustrious Donald Trump, a man who once likened cryptocurrencies to a passing fad, has managed to rake in a staggering $2.4 billion from his crypto escapades since he dipped his toes into this digital ocean in 2022. The New Yorker, in its infinite wisdom, has unearthed this treasure trove, revealing a veritable cornucopia of income streams that would make even the most seasoned financial mogul raise an eyebrow. 🤔

To break it down for the layman, our dear Commander-in-Chief has reportedly pocketed around $14.4 million from his non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – a collection that surely rivals the Louvre in its artistic merit. Then there’s the $412.5 million from token sales via World Liberty Financial, a staggering $243 million from crypto dealings with the United Arab Emirates, and a modest $13 million from the Bitcoin mining venture known as American Bitcoin. But wait, there’s more! A jaw-dropping $1.3 billion has flowed into his coffers from the BTC treasury company, Trump Media and Technology Group, and let’s not forget the $385 million from the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin, which, if nothing else, proves that even in the world of digital currency, branding is everything. 💸

Now, one might ponder the implications of such wealth, especially when it constitutes a whopping 43.5% of the personal fortune amassed during his political career. However, let us not be too hasty in attributing this financial windfall directly to Trump himself; after all, the operations are often orchestrated by a cadre of advisers and family members, leaving the man himself free to focus on more pressing matters, like tweeting. 🐦

could foreign actors be using the memecoin as a means to curry favor with Trump and his inner circle, all while cloaked in anonymity? The very thought sends shivers down the spine of any self-respecting patriot! 😱

Under the Trump administration, the landscape of government agencies has shifted dramatically in its approach to the crypto industry. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has mysteriously dropped investigations against many crypto companies, such as Coinbase and Uniswap, while a concerted effort has emerged to end the debanking of crypto firms across the nation. It seems that in the world of politics, the only constant is change – and perhaps a healthy dose of irony. 🤷‍♂️
