Trump's crypto, the Qatar jet ― will supporters finally admit something's wrong?

emolument noun /ɪˈmɒl.jə.mənt/ payment for work in the form of money or something else of value. In February, I wrote a column for the Free Press wondering at the 'all-inness' of many of President Donald Trump's supporters. For them, it seems the president can do no wrong, a kind of blanket certainty I've never felt toward any politician in my lifetime. (In fact, that's too limiting; point to any leader in American history and rest assured I've got a gripe or two.) The reactions to my column were fairly revealing. I'm happy to say a large majority of those who got in touch found the column to be on the money. Even some Trump voters thanked me for giving them something to think about. There were also those who took (occasionally profane) issue with my thoughts. They, of course, unwittingly helped make my point. I chose two things that troubled me about Trump 2.0, and for them that was two things too many. At the heart of my column was a challenge to the president's ardent supporters to call out bad behavior when they see it. Friends, such a moment has arrived. More from Freep Opinion: Devin Scillian: I'm mystified by the blind allegiance of Trump supporters In that original dispatch, I described the Emoluments Clause ― the section of the Constitution that prohibits presidents from profiting from the office ― as 'a rancid, rotting carcass in the road.' I was speaking of the president's cryptocurrency money play ― and by the way, not a single one of those who wrote to disparage my column even tried to defend the Trump meme coin. The crypto scheme has only grown in its ugliness. Trump and his family have raked in hundreds of millions of dollars — we'll probably never know from whom — and because surely there was a little more money to be wrung from this morass, the president launched a pay-for-play competition to offer a private dinner with him to the top 220 holders of the coin. ('You can't win if you don't play!') It's worth noting the value of the coin had fallen almost 90% from its high until Trump announced the dinner competition. Voila! The price jumped 58% almost immediately. It's also worth noting that many Americans have lost collective billions trying to jump in and play this shell game that so defines the crypto world. But ahh, the beauty of this thing; while the coin value can bounce around like a neutron, the transaction fees remain a certainty. (Fans of the 1983 film 'Trading Places' may recall this simple explanation of Wall Street largesse: 'No matter whether our clients make money or lose money, Duke and Duke get the commissions.') The president's sons, meanwhile, are traveling all over the world pushing something called World Liberty Financial. That's the Trump family's crypto exchange launched just before the 2024 election. From Bitcoin mining to releasing meme coins like $TRUMP and $MELANIA, a new study reckons crypto has pushed a breathtaking $2.9 billion into the Trump family vaults. (It adds up quickly when an Abu Dhabi-backed firm announces it's buying $2 billion worth of World Liberty Financial goods.) It leaves us with the nation's chief policymaker on cryptocurrency standing right at the corner of Conflict and Interest. More from Freep Opinion: Ghost of Brooks Patterson and specter of Donald Trump collide in Oakland County All of this makes it all the more stunning when White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt takes to the podium and somehow manages to say, 'I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service ... This is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the United States.' Ms. Leavitt, a lot of people lose money in crypto, but the president isn't one of them. That was going to be the sum total of this column. But then ... I'm not actually sure what happens when 'a rancid, rotting carcass' decays even further. But whatever is left of the emoluments clause in the Constitution is being slapped in the mouth by the offer of Qatar to give the president a luxury jet to be used as Air Force One. Now, I'll set aside the seeming impossibility of this offer. (That plane would have to be torn apart down to the bolts for it to be scrutinized and likely overhauled for security measures.) But a $400 million gift (a term the president has used himself, helpfully cross-referencing it for legal scholars) clearly flies in the face of the straightforward guardrails laid down by the Founding Fathers. The emoluments clause says that a president cannot accept money or gifts from foreign governments without the consent of Congress. (Congress is, by the way, still a functioning government body. I Googled it to check.) Trump said you'd have to be 'stupid' to turn down the Qatari offer. But I tend to think James Madison and company were onto something. The irony here is that big piles of money and lavish gifts passing back and forth with a wink and a nod are the hallmarks of the swamp that so riled and motivated Trump voters a decade ago. I'm not arguing about tariffs, immigration, inflation, or anything that can be considered a matter of policy debate. I'm talking about deep, dark money, dark money being passed in broad daylight. So, as I did in my first column, I'm wondering aloud if the president's supporters can be the ones to tell the commander-in-chief he's wrong. Some card players have what is known as 'a tell.' I detected a pretty strong tell from the president when he announced that he had reached a trade agreement with the United Kingdom. As he outlined the importance of the deal, he noted, 'We have a lot of investment over there,' and then started talking about golf courses and hotels. It took me a moment to realize he wasn't talking about the United States. In the middle of praising an American trade pact, the president's mind was clearly on Trump Inc. Are you good with that?
