Why This Matters
💻 Regulatory Capture: Trump personally profits from cryptocurrency while his administration decides crypto regulations - creating direct incentives to favor crypto over traditional banking that protects your deposits
Personal financial interests in regulated industries create conflicts that prioritize private profit over public protection and consumer safety.
📈 Market Manipulation: Presidential statements about crypto can immediately affect prices of coins Trump owns, potentially enriching him at taxpayers' expense through insider knowledge
Government officials with financial stakes can manipulate markets through policy announcements while profiting from information unavailable to ordinary investors.
⚖️ Policy Conflicts: Trump's crypto wealth incentivizes him to oppose banking regulations and consumer protections that would make your financial transactions safer
Financial conflicts of interest undermine regulatory protection while prioritizing industry profits over consumer safety and market integrity.
🔍 Enforcement Gaps: Current ethics laws don't prohibit presidents from actively running businesses, allowing conflicts of interest that previous presidents avoided voluntarily
Legal loopholes enable corruption while ethical traditions get abandoned in favor of personal enrichment through government service.
📊 Transparency Theater: Financial disclosures only show income ranges, hiding the true extent of presidential business profits that could influence your access to federal programs and services
Incomplete transparency conceals conflicts of interest while preventing public oversight of how personal business affects government decisions.
