So the request in front of our government right now is this: the Trump family 'crypto-operation' (which produced almost 800 million dollars in World Liberty Financial income for Trump's companies last year according to Reuters' reading of his disclosure) wants to become a Federal Bank that:

(1) Creates the coin

(2) Guards the pile of money behind the coin

(3) Keeps the interest that pile of coin earns and

(4) Controls how people move between the coin and real dollars

ALL of this supervised by an agency whose leadership Trump himself appointed.
