President Donald Trump’s family has long generated controversy and criticism for running a cryptocurrency business during his second term in office, and now they’re adding an online betting business to their portfolio.

The Financial Times on Tuesday reported that the president’s Truth Social platform is getting into the prediction market business to allow bettors to place wagers on the outcomes of elections, sports games, and other events.

The new “Truth Predict” betting market platform will be a partnership between the Trump Media and Technology Group and Crypto.com, a cryptocurrency trading platform that in the past has donated millions to Trump causes.

Comer indicated that he was fine with the Trump family’s potentially corrupt money-making schemes because they were being done out in the open.

9. Seems to me that this takes insider trading to a whole new level

With A-I, all sorts of variables can be entered and more accurate predictions of an outcome than human calculations will be relied upon.

I have no doubt that the Trumps already are plugged into this for their own gain.
