We speak with Robert Weissman of Public Citizen about Donald Trump's various conflicts of interest after Trump hosted a private dinner at his Virginia golf club for the 220 top buyers of his $TRUMP cryptocurrency. The Trump family has also announced it is expanding its holdings in cryptocurrencies, with the Trump tech startup set to raise $2.5 billion to invest in bitcoin. "There's millions of losers for every few winners in the crypto game. Trump is rigging the rules to make sure he's on the winning side, but regular people are going to be hurt," says Weissman, who was among protesters outside Trump's crypto dinner. He adds that the Trump family's crypto business is part of an "overall authoritarian mission" to reward the rich and powerful by skirting the rules while bringing the full weight of the government down on immigrants, protesters and other voices of dissent.
