WSJ Torches Trump Family Over 'Profiting Off the Presidency'

The Wall Street Journal's editorial board has publicly criticized President Donald Trump and his family for 'profiting off the presidency in ways that demean the office.'

The criticism stems from a recent financial disclosure report, which revealed that Trump earned roughly $1.4 billion from cryptocurrency ventures in 2025 alone.

According to the report, Trump's memecoin generated $635 million in royalties, while his crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, brought in another $593 million through token and equity sales.

The editorial board noted that these deals raise concerns about foreign entanglements, as they involve partnerships with entities linked to the UAE and Pakistan.

Trump's sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are also implicated in the controversy, with their venture capital firm investing in a company that received a $620 million government loan.

The Journal's editorial board warned that if Democrats take control of Congress in November, they will have a 'field day' probing these deals and charging GOP corruption.
