Trump sides with crypto firms in trillion-dollar battle with banks over stablecoin yield
The dispute centers on whether crypto firms like Coinbase can offer yields on stablecoins, which banks warn will siphon trillions of dollars from the industry.
Follow the money
The Coinbase CEO met with Trump at the WH & hours later Trump attacked banks for opposing stablecoin yields
His family has made hundreds of millions from World Liberty Financial, which issues USD1 β a stablecoin that benefits directly!
Corruption in plain sight

Scrutiny focuses on whether Kalshi and Polymarket offered proxy bets on an assasination of Iranβs leader.

Most were created days before it happened

Trumpβs War on Iran Is Illegal
Neither a future threat nor regime change can be legal justification for war without congressional authorization.
Trump's war on Iran is illegal β full stop
No Congressional authorization, no imminent threat, no legal basis under the Constitution, the War Powers Resolution, or the UN Charter
A president does not get to start a war alone

Could he use that as part of the pretext for an elections emergency executive order taking over the midterms?

Trump, seeking executive power over elections, is urged to declare emergency
Activists who say they are in coordination with the White House are circulating a draft executive order that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.
I have worked on 264 legal cases & matters against the Trump administration, including helping secure the injunction to stop his first executive order on elections
If he tries this, it will be 265
This is unconstitutional & insane
