Rogan Rips into Trump's Crypto Ventures: 'Shady as F***'
Joe Rogan, the popular podcaster and former supporter of Donald Trump, has raised eyebrows by criticizing the president's cryptocurrency ventures. In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan called Trump's crypto investments 'nuts' and questioned whether they create conflicts with his family business interests.
Rogan pointed to the $1.4 billion in profits generated by Trump's digital-asset ventures, from meme coins to other projects, according to Newsweek. He also highlighted the involvement of Trump's sons in cryptocurrency businesses and described the money flowing around as 'shady as f***'. While acknowledging that it remains legal, Rogan expressed concerns about the close connection between the president's political influence and family business interests.
The White House has responded to criticism by stating that independent financial institutions control the assets through fully discretionary accounts. However, Rogan's remarks have sparked debate among Trump's supporters, particularly younger males who may be more likely to question the ethics of the president's business dealings.
