Trump's Crypto Empire Exposed: Meme Coins Crash, Family Income Soars
John Oliver recently tore into President Trump's crypto foray on HBO's Last Week Tonight.
Oliver criticized the Trump family's handling of digital assets, pointing out that their personal income exceeds $2.2 billion in his first year back in office, with a significant portion coming from crypto.
The comedian also highlighted the President and First Lady's launch of their own meme coins, which crashed 92% and 99% from early highs, resulting in an estimated 1 million retail traders losing $3.8 billion trading $TRUMP ($1.55 · Live).
Oliver suggested that the President was offering White House access in exchange for investment in the meme coin in some cases.
