In a bombshell NBC interview that has crypto markets buzzing, President Donald Trump made shocking revelations about the controversial $TRUMP meme coin that's down 85% from its peak.

🔍 "I MADE ZERO PROFIT" - PRESIDENTIAL DENIAL STUNS VIEWERS

When pressed by NBC's Kristen Welker about using his presidency to pump the coin's price—particularly after announcing dinner invitations for top holders—Trump delivered an unexpected response:

"I do not make a profit from anything," the President declared firmly. "I have no idea how much it went up. I never looked."

This statement comes as the once-$77 token now trades around $11, representing a catastrophic 85% crash from its January peak.

🇺🇸 "IT'S ABOUT BEATING CHINA" - THE GEOPOLITICAL DEFENSE

Rather than addressing the price manipulation concerns directly, Trump pivoted to national security justifications:

"I want crypto and this issue is important. Because if we do not do this job much, China will," he explained, framing his meme coin involvement as part of a larger digital currency strategy.

The President added: "It's both new, popular and very popular. It has remained stronger than others in the falling crypto market."

💰 THE PELOSI COMPARISON THAT HAS WASHINGTON TALKING

In a stunning moment, Trump deflected criticism by directly attacking former Speaker Nancy Pelosi:

"The ones who really make a profit are people like Nancy Pelosi... A person earns $175,000 but their fortune is between $150 and $200 million."

He then made the extraordinary claim: "In fact, I am doing something that maybe only George Washington did before me," though he didn't elaborate on this comparison.

🤔 "I WAS ALREADY VERY RICH" - THE WEALTH DEFENSE

Doubling down on his financial independence, Trump insisted: "I was already very rich, even being president made me lose money," suggesting the meme coin was about crypto adoption rather than personal gain.

❓ THE QUESTIONS REMAINING

As the $TRUMP token continues trading at just $11:

  • Will holders continue supporting the project despite the 85% loss?

  • Could regulatory agencies investigate the dinner invitation scheme?

  • What does this mean for other politically-themed tokens?
