[quote=Anonymous]The Wall Street Journal editorial board is calling out the optics of the Trump family crypto ventures. The article is behind a pay wall and I can’t cut and paste in the whole thing due to DCUM rules, but here are the first two and the last paragraphs of the article:

President Trump likes flying close to the sun regarding his family business, and the flight is closer than ever in his second term. Is no one advising Mr. Trump that his family’s crypto plans are inviting trouble?

Mr. Trump said last month that he’ll host a dinner with the top 220 holders of his $TRUMP meme coin at his Washington, D.C.-area golf club on May 22. Step right up and invest in the Trump crypto enterprise for a chance to rub elbows with the leader of the free world. The President says all of this is above board. But it nonetheless raises the appearance of a conflict of interest in selling access to the President.

Last paragraph:

Expect the press to spend the next four years chasing stories about the Trump crypto family. The political optics are awful, especially in light of the Trump border taxes. The Democratic midterm campaign ads write themselves: Millions in secretive crypto profits for the Trump family, but Mr. Trump’s famous “two dolls” and “five pencils” for everyone else.
