Two-Thirds of Americans Say Trump's Crypto Profits Cross the Line
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has shed light on Americans' views of President Donald Trump's crypto dealings, and the results are mixed. While a majority of respondents - 63% - consider it inappropriate for Trump and his family to have profited from cryptocurrency in the way they have, 32% believe it is appropriate.
The poll also found that nearly seven in ten Republicans think Trump's private business interests influence his decisions, although only about half of those surveyed said they believe he lets his business interests sway his decisions.
These findings come as lawmakers continue to wrangle over provisions in the Clarity Act that would restrict the president's crypto ventures. The White House has rejected any suggestion of impropriety, with spokeswoman Anna Kelly stating that there are no conflicts of interest and that Trump acts only in the public's interest.
