Trump embraced crypto as a candidate in 2024.
Then he and his family invested like mad in it
– through CIC Digital,
a Trump Organization affiliate that is behind his memecoin, $Trump,
and through another Trump family-backed crypto company, World Liberty Financial,
co-founded by Trump, his sons and the family of the special envoy Steve Witkoff in the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign
(but which the White…

Conflicts of interest? Trump only has one interest: himself
The president made $2.2bn last year, with plenty of help from his own political decisions. This is called corruption, folks

I have a JPC-12 vertical antenna. On the good side, it puts the coil 4' away from the base, reducing coil losses by not putting it at the point with the highest current. On the other hand, it's stainless steel with significant real resistance, so even that reduced current still heats it up substantially. Some of that heat could instead be radiated RF!
