From the promise of 'crypto capital' to disappointment: the young people Trump is losing

Donald Trump is losing significant support among young people, especially crypto enthusiasts, following disappointment over his promises to make the US the 'global crypto capital'. A recent Fox News poll indicates a drop from 43% support among 18-29 year olds in 2024 to just 19%. Investors complain about the $TRUMP coin's fall and a 'rug pull' - a scam where the developer inflates the coin's value and runs off with the money. The article quotes Nick Pinto, an investor with two million Instagram followers, who said: 'I was sure he would be the president of Bitcoin, I never thought he would launch his own coin'. Meanwhile, reports indicate over $1.4 billion in crypto revenue in 2025. The article also details Trump's family businesses, including the 'World Liberty Financial' company founded by his sons, which sold a $500 million stake to investors from the Emirates, a deal described by Democrats as corrupt. Tron platform founder Justin Sun filed a federal lawsuit claiming the company prevented him from withdrawing his investment.
