Trump’s Crypto Play Fuels Senators’ Backlash and Bill to Ban President Memecoins

Washington’s crypto clash escalates as lawmakers move to block presidential-themed tokens. Trump’s recent embrace of digital assets—including a rumored self-branded memecoin—has Senate allies fuming. The backlash cuts straight to DC’s growing crypto divide.

Behind the scenes: Bipartisan bill drafted overnight would ban all elected officials from launching or promoting cryptocurrencies. Critics call it a knee-jerk reaction; crypto lobbyists whisper about ’killing innovation to score political points.’

Meanwhile, traders shrug and keep chasing the next pump—because nothing fuels speculative mania like mixing politics with unregulated financial instruments.
