President Donald Trump is taking his efforts to use his office for personal enrichment — the very definition of corruption — to new levels Thursday night, selling face time to those who put money into his bank account by purchasing nearly $200 million worth of his branded souvenir crypto coins.
And while Trump will know who has parted with all that cash for the opportunity to spend a few hours to bend his ear, Americans will not — unless they can somehow match real names to monikers like “MeCo,” “CASE, “GAnt” and “REKT.”
Those four individuals or organizations, identified only by their usernames and crypto “wallet” addresses, collectively owned 2.7 million $TRUMP coins, worth a total of $38.3 million on Wednesday, based on the $14 price per coin that day.
“He’s auctioning off access,” Connecticut Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Thursday. “It’s corrupt and it’s out there for everyone to see.”
