  "account": "A new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that a majority of Americans believe former President Donald Trump and his family have inappropriately profited from cryptocurrency while in office, with half of Trump's Republican supporters agreeing. Over 63% of respondents found it inappropriate for Trump and his family to benefit financially from his cryptocurrency ventures, while 32% disagreed. About 30% of Republicans deemed these deals inappropriate, while 70% found them appropriate. Trump, a real estate tycoon before his political career, earned over $1.4 billion from his family's cryptocurrency investments in 2024 alone. The White House dismissed the allegations of impropriety, stating that Trump's investments are managed by independent financial institutions. Experts on presidential ethics have called the current situation unprecedented, with 69% of Americans, including Democrats and independents, believing Trump's private business interests are influencing his decisions.",
