Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the eldest sons of President Donald Trump, are holding an event at Mar-a-Lago on Wednesday for their crypto company, World Liberty Financial. In many ways, it’s a victory lap for the Trump family, a recognition that there is no mechanism available to stop the unprecedented corruption that’s being done out in the open, as foreign governments and U.S.-based executives jostle to please the Trump regime and profit from their proximity to political power.
There’s no livestream available for the World Liberty Forum in Florida, but CNBC is on hand broadcasting as an “exclusive partner” for the event. CNBC host Sara Eisen sat down with the Trump sons to ask them about the goal of their conference.
“We were the most canceled people in the world in 2020, 2021,” said Eric Trump. “And it’s really great to almost have this retribution where all of a sudden we start pushing an agenda. Our agenda was to modernize finance, to allow that to never, ever, ever happen to anybody again.”
The part Eric Trump is leaving out, of course, is President Trump’s attempt at aself-coupon Jan. 6, 2021, sending a violent mob to storm the U.S. Capitol in a bid to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. The president was banned from the major social media platforms, and his family was cut off from some banking opportunities over his effort to overthrow the government. The president has sincesuedJPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon over the moves.
The Trump sons bragged to CNBC about how opening their own crypto company has given them “credibility” to operate outside the traditional banking system, but Eisen pointed out that “critics” will say “the credibility factor is the Trump name and the Trump White House, and that everyone is here to curry favor.”
Eric Trump countered that “they didn’t give us much of a choice,” with Donald Trump Jr. proudly insisting “they created this monster.”
EISEN: The critics say everyone is here to curry favor
ERIC TRUMP: The great irony is they didn’t give us much of a choice
DON JR: They created this monster
ERIC: They were pulling these accounts from us like we were absolute dogs
