Oliver Slams Trump's Crypto Payday
Last Week Tonight host John Oliver targeted Donald Trump's growing crypto business in a scathing segment.
Oliver pointed out that during his first year back in office, Trump earned over $2.2 billion, with $1.4 billion coming from crypto, making it the family's top earner ahead of real estate.
The comedian criticized Trump's involvement in meme coins and World Liberty Financial, which he called the family's biggest crypto business.
Oliver noted that Trump made $636 million from the meme coin effort, despite both coins losing most of their value. He also highlighted a private dinner Trump held for top holders of his meme coin, giving investors direct access to the White House in exchange for an investment.
