Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission is letting grifting crypto executives get off scot-free, and it’s clear why. Trump doesn’t want the gravy train to stop for his allies or his own crypto grift. nytimes.com/2025/12/14/us/…

Bill
GENIUS Act
Details
The GENIUS Act of 2025 proposes a regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. It defines permitted issuers (insured depository institutions, their subsidiaries, and approved nonbank entities) and mandates 1:1 reserve backing with specific high-quality assets. The bill outlines federal and state regulatory oversight options, sets requirements for customer asset segregation, and grants stablecoin holders priority in insolvency proceedings. It also clarifies that regulated payment stablecoins are not considered securities or commodities under various acts. The bill designates issuers as financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act, requiring compliance with AML, KYC, and sanctions regulations to prevent illicit finance and safeguard national security. It also reinforces U.S. leadership in digital finance by supporting innovation and ensuring the dollar remains competitive in a rapidly evolving global financial landscape.

Wondering why the House has been gridlocked over crypto for 24+ hours? Here’s a hint: Trump and 70+ of his high-level minions hold over $193 million in crypto. Trump alone has $51 million. His Cabinet, his VP, and key regulators are in deep. That’s why Mike Johnson is jamming hat enrich Trump’s cronies.

Trump should be strengthening the U.S. dollar, not scheming to profit off crypto at the expense of American stability. An American president moving our Treasury toward a speculative currency he’s personally invested in is corrupt and it puts our economy at risk.

What do you mean the Speaker of the House doesn’t know anything about the “meme coin thing”? He pushed a through bill to deregulate crypto. Or is it that because it’s an obviously corrupt scheme tied to the Dear Leader, he suddenly can’t comment?

Trump‘s corruption has no bounds. He should not be allowed to sell access to the White House with his cryptocurrency. The Supreme Court made a huge mistake in providing the president with immunity from prosecution. It allows Trump to profit from his presidency without any limits.

This might be Trump’s biggest grift yet. He’s pushing a U.S. crypto stockpile while his own meme coin trades on the market, a huge conflict of interest. The gov’t hoarding risky tokens isn’t a strategy — it’s gambling with taxpayer dollars. Insiders profit, while Americans bear the risk.
