CNN: Trump Making More than a Billion Dollars in Cryptocurrency Is ‘Pretty Stunning’

EXCERPT:

COLLINS: "We‘re just now getting our hands on the president‘s latest mandatory financial disclosure, and it actually reveals something pretty stunning: that the president made more than $1 billion his first year back in office, and that more than $1 billion came from his family‘s cryptocurrency businesses alone. It‘s a remarkable windfall for a sitting president. And this is just what he made from cryptocurrency, not what he made from real estate ventures, from the products that he sells, Trump shoes, Trump watches, Trump bibles. What we‘re learning here is that the president made, as we‘re looking at this, more than $526 million from selling cryptocurrency tokens alone that are tied to World Liberty Financial. That‘s that firm that is managed by his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., in part. And it also shows in these financial disclosures that the president got an array of income from his properties, lavish gifts from CEOs and foreign leaders, and also royalty and licensing fees for what are known as celebration coins and Trump watches, more than $200,000 alone from the Trump bibles. The White House has denied that the president is conflicted by his financial interests. They say he doesn‘t control it. Though, when it comes to cryptocurrency, obviously, he‘s a stakeholder here. He‘s also the top policy maker.”
