**MEME Act Targets Politicians Amid Trump’s Return to Presidency**
In 2025, with Donald Trump back in office as the 47th President of the United States, the proposed MEME Act (Modern Emoluments and Malfeasance Enforcement Act) has stirred controversy in both political and crypto circles.
The bill, introduced by Democratic lawmakers, seeks to prohibit sitting presidents, vice presidents, members of Congress, and their families from launching or profiting from digital assets like memecoins and NFTs. The move is widely seen as a response to President Trump's prior association with the \$TRUMP memecoin and broader concerns over potential financial self-dealing.
Supporters argue that the MEME Act is necessary to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure that public officials don’t exploit emerging technologies for personal gain. Critics, however, view the legislation as politically motivated and an attack on the crypto space.
As Trump’s second term begins with an “America First” agenda, the MEME Act highlights the growing tension between Washington and the decentralized digital economy. The debate continues as the bill works its way through Congress.
