Trump’s Journey to Presidency
Before entering the political realm, Trump followed his father’s footsteps to become a successful real estate developer, owning many luxury hotels, casinos, golf clubs, uber-expensive cars and also a Boeing (BA) 757 jet. He also had a stint as a reality show host for The Apprentice from 2004 to 2015. Following this, Trump became the 45th U.S. President, winning against Hillary Clinton.
After his 45th Presidency (from 2017 to 2021), Trump was busy promoting his then loss-making social media platform Truth Social and pursuing his passion, such as selling NFTs (non-fungible tokens).
Trump’s Fervor for Digital Currencies
Interestingly, Trump launched the $TRUMP meme coin just days before being sworn in as the U.S. President on January 19. The demand for $TRUMP coin pushed its price from $10 to $74.59 in a single day, as fans loaded up on their icon’s meme coin. As of January 19, Trump’s cryptocurrency holdings had a value of $58 billion, according to Axios.
Importantly, Trump was very fervent about supporting cryptocurrencies during his presidential campaign last year. His interest has boosted the prices of several digital currencies to record highs. For instance, the price of Bitcoin (BTC-USD) surged to an all-time high of $109,358.01 on January 20, the day of Trump’s inaugural event.
The Good, Bad, and Ugly
While Trump has had many “firsts” up his sleeves, unfortunately, he has also been a victim of some high-profile lawsuits. In September 2022, Trump was accused of inflating his net worth by billions of dollars between 2011 and 2021 to borrow money from banks and financial institutions. He also faced some sexual assault cases and the allegation of attempting to overturn the 2020 U.S. Presidential election when he lost to Joe Biden.
To conclude, Trump is on a mission to make “America great again!” Soon after taking office, Trump signed several executive orders aimed at deregulation, refugee deportation, declaring an energy emergency, making housing affordable, and delaying the ban on the Chinese social media platform TikTok. With just a few days into his presidency, Trump has already made impressive headlines. In the four years to follow, Trump could make an extraordinary impact on the American economy.
