(Patriot Insider) – Former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign made a huge, historic announcement on Tuesday when it revealed he would be the first major candidate for the White House to accept cryptocurrency donations. Trump is once again proving that he has his thumb on the pulse of not only political issues, but our culture and technological developments as well. He gets it. And this is what’s connecting him to younger voters, making Trump a very appealing alternative to President Joe Biden who comes off as cranky, old, and out of touch with, well, everything.
“Today, President Trump’s campaign has launched a fundraising page that provides any federally permissible donor the ability to give – through its joint fundraising committees – using any cryptocurrency accepted through the Coinbase Commerce product,” the campaign remarked in its announcement.
The news release divulged, “This addition to President Trump’s already groundbreaking digital fundraising operation marks the first time a major party Presidential nominee has embraced cryptocurrency for donations. Contribution limits and disclosure requirements for crypto donations will follow Federal Election Commission regulations. Starting today, people wanting to make federally permissible donations to the Trump campaign with crypto can do so at: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/crypto.”
Johnathan Jones of The Western Journal writes, “The website states the former president is accepting eight different kinds of digital currency, including Bitcoin, XRP and USD Coin.”

The website says, “Demonstrating President Trump’s success as a champion of American freedom and innovation, we proudly offer you a chance to contribute to the campaign with cryptocurrency,” going on to add, “Saving our nation from Biden’s failures requires your support. As Biden piles regulations and red tape on all of us, President Trump stands ready to embrace new technologies that will Make America Great Again.”

This development comes just as the former president’s fundraising has started to really blast off. A report from the Associated Press disclosed that Biden’s campaign managed to raise $51 million back in April. That’s a sizable chunk of change, no doubt about it. Biden’s efforts have pulled in a significant haul, however Trump is now bringing in even more.
“But according to the AP, while Biden raised just over $51 million last month, Trump hauled in $76 million. Biden’s donations for April were also down starkly compared to the month prior. In March, Democrats collected $90 million to keep the White House. According to Tuesday’s RealClearPolitics average, Trump led Biden nationally by 1.1 points, or 46.7 percent to 45.6 percent,” Jones reports.
A Harvard-Harris poll that came out just last week showed that the former president is currently enjoying a six-point lead over his competitor, which is far above the two-point margin of error. In other words, the closer we get to crunch time, the more it seems folks are opening their eyes to reality. Let’s pray this trend continues.
