White House: ‘Ridiculous’ to think Trump doing anything for his own personal wealth
- The White House defended President Trump on May 9, 2025, against allegations he profited personally while in office, amid controversy over a $320 million cryptocurrency coin linked to him.
- The controversy arose after the $Trump coin, announced before Trump's inauguration, offered buyers a dinner with him at his Virginia golf club on May 22, prompting Senate legislation to restrict officials endorsing financial instruments.
- A spokesperson for the White House highlighted that Trump prioritizes the American public's interests, having twice left a prosperous real estate career to serve in public office, and asserted that he has incurred financial losses as president despite his family's continued involvement in multi-billion-dollar Middle Eastern real estate and cryptocurrency projects.
- Leavitt also contrasted Trump with predecessor Joe Biden, stating Biden profited from family business interests involving Hunter Biden and questioned why similar scrutiny was not applied to Biden's office.
- This defense coincides with Trump's upcoming Middle East trip aimed at expanding trade and the Abraham Accords, while Senators Jeff Merkley and Chris Murphy plan legislation to limit presidential financial endorsements due to potential conflicts of interest.
