Trump Crypto Empire Under Fire Over Earnings
The Trump crypto empire is facing increasing pressure after a recent poll showed that a majority of voters disapprove of Donald Trump's cryptocurrency earnings.
A survey conducted by Echelon Insights found that 55% of voters disapprove of Trump's crypto earnings, with 44% strongly disapproving. Another survey from the Progressive Policy Institute and GBAO found that 71-75% of respondents support banning federal officials and their families from profiting from cryptocurrency.
Trump has earned an estimated $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion from crypto ventures over the past year, according to federal disclosures. Critics argue that these gains came while many Americans still struggle to cover everyday expenses.
The issue has become a growing political flashpoint, with Senator Elizabeth Warren tweeting that 'Tens of millions of Americans can't afford the basics, and they want the Washington to do something about the affordability crisis. Trump's response? Using the presidency to boost his family's crypto business.'
