Most Americans Say Trump's Crypto Profits Cross the Line: Poll
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found widespread concern that Trump and his family have improperly profited from cryptocurrency since his return to office. About 63% of respondents said this was inappropriate, while 32% said it was appropriate. About 69% believed Trump’s private business interests influence his decisions as president, including most independents and nearly all Democrats. Even among Republicans, roughly half said his business interests affect his decisions, though about 70% still said the family’s crypto dealings were appropriate. The poll surveyed 1,166 U.S. adults from Aug. 14 to 17. The findings come amid reports that Trump has earned more than $1.4 billion from crypto ventures and as lawmakers debate possible restrictions on presidential crypto activity. The White House denies any conflict of interest.
