😎Trump vs. XRP: Digital Drama in the Oval Office!
🔍 What happened?
Trump blew a fuse after realizing he was duped into backing XRP for a U.S. digital asset reserve—thanks to a draft tied to a Ripple-affiliated lobbyist.
🧾 The bombshell moment:
On March 2, Trump endorsed XRP, ADA, and SOL for a proposed national crypto reserve. But that plan came from Brian Ballard’s team—a lobbyist with Ripple links.
💥 Trump's reaction:
Furious, Trump declared Ballard “persona non grata” and felt manipulated by a crypto backdoor play.
💸 Follow the money:
Ripple had donated $5M in XRP to Trump’s 2017 inauguration and backs pro-crypto PACs like Fairshake.
📜 Despite the chaos…
Trump still signed an executive order on March 6 to launch the U.S. Digital Asset Reserve.
