Josh Hawley says ‘nobody believes’ Trump can be bought: ‘What does he need more money for’?

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) flatly declared Wednesday that any ethical concerns over Donald Trump looking to use his memecoin to profit off from his presidency are unfounded because the president is so rich that “nobody believes” that he “can be bought.”

“What does Donald Trump need more money for?” a credulous Hawley rhetorically asked during a CNN interview.

Even before Trump was offered a $400 million luxury jet by the Qatari royal family, which critics have claimed violates the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, the president had come under fire for planning two lavish cryptocurrency-focused dinners — one of which costs $1.5 million per plate to attend.

Meanwhile, foreign investors have jumped at the opportunity to buy up the president’s $TRUMP, a so-called memecoin that Trump launched just as he entered the White House in January. Some of these foreign companies have explicitly stated that they’ve purchased the president’s cryptocurrency in an effort to gain influence with the president.
