Summary

US President Donald Trump, who once called cryptocurrency a "scam," has made over $1 billion from crypto in the past year according to his annual financial disclosure. The revelation has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats who accuse him of using public office for personal enrichment while American families struggle. The White House has denied any conflicts of interest. The article explores how Trump leveraged his political position and the launch of his own crypto ventures (including a memecoin and World Liberty Financial) to generate massive profits, raising ethical and legal questions about presidential financial conflicts of interest.
