  • Truth-telling independent media is one remaining bulwark against an autocrat's unrestrained exercise of power. At a time when billionaire owners of corporate media are making accommodations to political leaders, our nonprofit newsroom cannot be bought, bent, or broken. Depend on it, and please stand with us.

The article from Mother Jones discusses the ethical concerns surrounding Donald Trump's involvement with cryptocurrencies. It highlights how Trump has been promoting various cryptocurrencies, including his own "Trump Coin," which has raised significant ethical questions about conflict of interest, potential fraud, and the manipulation of markets. The piece details how Trump's endorsement of these digital assets could be seen as leveraging his political influence for personal financial gain, especially given his history of business dealings and the lack of transparency in his financial disclosures. Furthermore, it explores the broader implications of a former president engaging in such activities, including the potential for misleading investors and the regulatory challenges this presents. The article also touches on the reactions from ethicists, legal experts, and the crypto community, many of whom are skeptical about the legitimacy and long-term viability of Trump's crypto ventures.
