Američki predsjednik Donald Trump, pod pritiskom javnosti zbog brze narastanja bogatstva svoje obitelji tokom njegova predsjedničkog mandata, iznio je iznenađujuće izjave o poslovima svoje porodice, sugerirajući da su njihovi potezi podložni kritici zbog njegove političke funkcije. Prema nedavno objavljenim financijskim podacima, Trump je prijavio više od 21.000 investicijskih transakcija, a samo u 2025. godini, putem udjela u tvrtki u vlasništvu obitelji Trump, zaradio je više od milijarde dolara, uglavnom putem kriptovaluta. Ova suma premašuje ukupnu zaradu koju je ostvario tijekom cijelog svog prvog četverogodišnjeg mandata, a trostruko nadmašuje prihode iz 2024. godine, prije povratka u Bijelu kuću.
U razgovoru za CNBC, Trump je odbio kritiku, tvrdeći da je gotovo svaka investicija njegove djece danas predmet propitivanja isključivo zbog njegove političke pozicije. "Na neki način mi je žalo moje djece... Što god radili, budući da je predsjednička funkcija toliko moćna, toliko velika... Ako kupe tvrtku koja proizvodi kolačiće, odmah krene priča o energiji potrebnoj za njihovu proizvodnju, u stilu: 'Kakva je moja energetska politika?' I eto, odmah imate sukob interesa," objasnio je. Primijenio je istu logiku i na kupnju vozila, dodavši da "gotovo sve što naprave, ako žele kupiti kamion... Ako kupe energetski učinkovit kamion, imaju povlaštene informacije."
Financijska dokumentacija, prema izvještajima medija, pokazuje da glavnina tog rasta prihoda nije rezultat ulaganja na tržištu kapitala, kao što je Trump ranije tvrdio, već povezana s digitalnom imovinom i kriptovalutom. Najveći dio prihoda stigao je iz kripto-projekata, a vrijednost digitalne imovine procjenjuje se na oko 1,4 milijarde dolara. Dokumentacija sadrži više od 21.000 pojedinačnih investicijskih transakcija, a Trump je odgovornost za upravljanje tim poslovima pripisao svom sinu Ericu. "Moj sin Eric upravlja time," izjavio je, dodavši da "s njim ne razgovaram o takvim stvarima. Mislim da bi mi to vjerojatno bilo dopušteno, zapravo nisam ni siguran kakav je točno pravni status oko toga, ali ne razgovaramo."
Trumpova izjava o "povlaštenim informacijama" ponovno je otvorila raspravu o insider tradingu, tzv. trgovanju na temelju nejavnih podataka. U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, takva praksa predstavlja kazneno djelo koje nadzire Komisija za vrijednosne papire i burzu (SEC). Zakonodavstvo predviđa iznimno stroge sankcije, uključujući dugotrajne zatvorske kazne do 20 godina, a fizičkim osobama prijete novčane kazne do pet milijuna dolara, dok za pravne osobe maksimalni iznos može dosegnuti 25 milijuna dolara po prekršaju. Osim kaznenih postupaka, SEC u građanskim parnicama redovito traži povrat cjelokupne nezakonito ostvarene dobiti ili izbjegnutog gubitka, uz mogućnost izricanja trostruke novčane odštete, dok se prekršiteljima trajno zabranjuje obnašanje direktorskih ili upravljačkih funkcija u bilo kojem javnom poduzeću.
U istom razgovoru, Trump je negirao da je bilo ništa ilegalno u njegovim poslovima s kriptovalutama, tvrdeći da "nije ništa ilegalno, nema ništa loše u tome". Iako je njegova djeca upravljala njegovim financijskim poslovima, Trump je izrazio nelagodu zbog njihovih sudbinu, posebno u skladu s njegovim mandatom. "Ni moja djeca nisu imala laku sudbinu," rekao je, dodavši da je njihov život bio "toliko moćan, toliko velik" da su gotovo svi njihovi potezi mogli biti smatrani sukobima interesa. U načelu je svojoj djeci savjetovao da pokažu suzdržanost, jer su poslavali puno prije nego što je uopće pomislio kandidirati se za predsjednika.
