Trump's Crypto Profits Spark Widespread Public Outrage

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that most Americans believe President Donald Trump and his family have improperly profited from cryptocurrency since he returned to the White House. The survey found that 63% of respondents considered it inappropriate for Trump and his family to have earned over $1.4 billion from crypto ventures, including World Liberty Financial and a self-branded meme coin.

The poll also showed that 69% of respondents believe Trump's private business interests are influencing his decisions in office, with two-thirds of independents and nine in ten Democrats sharing this view. Even among Republicans, roughly half said they think the president lets his business interests shape his decisions.

The online poll surveyed 1,166 U.S. adults from August 14 to 17 and carried a margin of error of 3 percentage points. The White House rejected any suggestion of impropriety, stating that there are no conflicts of interest and that Trump acts only in the public's interest.
