Last night, Donald Trump threw himself a lavish $60 million UFC birthday party attended by his billionaire donors and rich friends. During the event, TV ads promoted Trump-branded gold coins while the broadcast announced that fighters would be paid an additional $250,000 in crypto from World Liberty Financial, the Trump family crypto company.
The Trumps have made massive profits off of their crypto business, with a recent report showing Trump and his sons have added a whopping $2.3 BILLION to their fortune since Trump took office. Eric Trump also recently joined his father on an official state visit to Beijing while a company linked to Eric and World Liberty Financial is exploring a deal with a Chinese firm that lawmakers have warned poses a national security threat.
In response, DNC Spokesperson Director Jaelin O’Halloran released the following statement:
“There seems to be no limit to Donald Trump’s self-dealing. Trump never misses an opportunity to use the power of the presidency to make himself and his family even richer. While Trump throws lavish parties for himself and his rich friends to promote his family businesses, his actions have driven up prices to record highs and working families are struggling to make ends meet. As Trump prioritizes his own ego and self-enrichment, Democrats are fighting to lower costs and make life better for everyday Americans.”
Since entering office again, Trump has consistently used the presidency to enrich himself and his family. He has sought to reap rewards from his office, including by engaging in more than 3,600 stock trades in the first quarter of 2026 alone, potentially valued at more than $100 million. To top it off, Trump bought more than $300 million in bonds as he repeatedly pressed the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, which would help increase the value of his bonds.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to turn a blind eye to Americans’ financial hardship. Inflation data released last week revealed prices in May surged to 4.2%, the highest in three years, swallowing Americans’ hard-earned paychecks. The same day, Trump admitted, “I love it. The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation.”
