Trump's Crypto Windfall, Dems' Anti-Establishment Wave, and the Supreme Court’s Big Week

First, let, let me just tell you, Donald Trump's embrace of crypto is paying off in a big way.

Trump earned about $1.4 billion over the past year from crypto according to a new financial disclosure, which I think is undercounting all the grift he's doing.

A big chunk of that came from sales of his Trump meme coin and digital tokens for the Trump family crypto company, which he gets paid no matter what, and everyone who's invested in it is losing.

Just so you know, he got all this money.

It's not just crypto.

Trump pulled in at least 2.2 billion in total income for the year, up from 622 million in 2024 before he returned to the presidency.

That includes more than 620 million in real estate, hotel, and golf related income, which is almost nothing.

Um, plus 80, uh, 86.5 million from legal settlements from ABC, CBS, YouTube, Meta, and X.

Uh, this grift is just a-ast...

And it turns out we're paying for the East Wing, we're paying for the Kennedy Center, we're paying for all manner of things that he is up to, um, which he said the, the public wasn't paying for.

So what, what-- This is astonishing.

I think they're undercounted.

What did you-- I mean, nobody's surprised, but the grift is really quite astonishing.

I, I thought was, wow, that's a lot of money.

Your thoughts?

Well, there's the grift and there's the, I mean, there's the micro, and that is 2.2 billion in personal income You know, while sitting w- as you're occupying the wa- the Oval Office, and 1.4 billion of it from crypto, a financial system that he now supposedly regulates.

It's, it, it, it's not a conflict of interest, it's a business model.

Yeah.

And essentially what you have in America is slowly but surely we're monetizing everything.

We monetize healthcare, we monetize education, we monetize, uh, enragement online, and now the president is monetizing the full faith and credit and power of the White House.

And he, he went from 622 million the year of net worth before taking office to 2.2 billion after.

He's essentially set up a toll booth, uh, for the American government.

And the meme coin would've been a five-alarm scandal for anyone else but him.

Absolutely.

It's a financial instrument with no underlying value that goes up when the president tweets about it, and that's securities manipulation with a big red hat.
