US President Donald Trump Made Very Special Statements About Memeconi TRUMP and Cryptocurrencies! Will He Donate His Crypto Profits?

US President Donald Trump, whose every move creates controversy, made very special statements about the cryptocurrency industry.

Donald Trump spoke about the memecoin TRUMP, which has been at the center of the controversy, for the first time in an exclusive interview with NBC News.

Trump, who denied making any profit from his eponymous token TRUMP in an interview with Kristen Welker on NBC News’ Meet the Press, claimed he had never looked into crypto.

Trump has denied profiting from the TRUMP token, despite blockchain data showing he earned around $900,000 in transaction fees following the news of a dinner for top token holders.

But Trump also admitted that he did not check to see if he was making a profit.

Program host Welker asked Trump, “So you don’t make any profit from cryptocurrency?” Trump responded by saying, “I haven’t even looked at it,” and continued:

“But I’ll tell you this. Look, if I own something and I do well and the stock market goes up, I guess I’m making a profit.”

Trump said during the interview that he would donate his presidential salary back to the government, and Welker asked if he would also donate any potential cryptocurrency earnings.

“I’ve never thought about it,” Trump said. “I mean, if I’m president and I’m doing a good job and my profits go up a little bit, should I give away all the real estate that I’ve owned over the years? I don’t think so.”

We Must Stay Ahead of China on Cryptocurrencies!

Reiterating his support for Bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, Trump underlined that his goal is to be a leader in crypto and warned that China could lead the way in crypto if the US falls behind.

“I want crypto. I think crypto is important because if we don’t do it, China will. And they will be ahead. Crypto is new and very popular,” he said.
