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

Market Manipulation:

Presidential statements about crypto can immediately affect prices of coins Trump owns, potentially enriching him at taxpayers' expense through insider knowledge

Policy Conflicts:

Trump's crypto wealth incentivizes him to oppose banking regulations and consumer protections that would make your financial transactions safer

Enforcement Gaps:

Current ethics laws don't prohibit presidents from actively running businesses, allowing conflicts of interest that previous presidents avoided voluntarily

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
