Tell Congress: Stop Trump’s Crypto Schemes

While ordinary Americans like you work hard to keep up with rising costs, Trump is also working hard – to enrich himself and his family.

Just look at the math: Last year, Trump made a staggering $2.2 billion in income – or $6 million every single day. That means he pocketed more money each day than an average American family will earn in their entire lifetime.

And he didn’t earn it through a hard day’s work – he extracted most of it straight from the cryptocurrency industry that he’s supposed to be regulating.

Trump has used the power of the presidency to hype his “memecoin” – and nearly one million Americans bought it. They paid the ultimate price, losing a combined $3.81 billion when it crashed by 97%. One grandma even reportedly lost 60% of her retirement on the memecoin.

But this is about more than just Trump ripping off his supporters – that's nothing new. This level of presidential profiteering is completely unheard of, and we need to draw a hard line before this rigged system of self-enrichment becomes the new normal.

Right now, Congress is debating a major crypto bill called the CLARITY Act – and Common Cause is demanding they strengthen it with a strict amendment that shuts down this swampy behavior for good.

Sign the Petition: Tell Congress to pass the CLARITY Act with strict conflict-of-interest rules to end Trump’s crypto schemes.
