"We're the most canceled people in the world": Don Jr. & Eric whine as their crypto empire tanks

It has to be embarrassing to know that your father is one of history’s sloppiest grifters with years-long ties to a notorious sx trafficker. But apparently being sloppy runs in the Trmp family, because both Eric and Don Jr. just doubled down on their family reputation in one gigantic brainfart of an interview last week.

Both manchildren spoke to CNBC about their crypto company, the horribly-named World Liberty Financial, and let’s just say they didn’t do themselves any favors. In times like these, normal children of narcissistic parents wouldn’t have to be told twice to distance themselves from the people who brought them into the world. But in true Tr*mp fashion, the brothers are doubling down on their bad reputation.

World Liberty Financial was already on shaky ground just by the association with the Trmp name, but as Sara Eisen points out, a 49% stake in the company was sold to a member of the Emirati royal family after Trmp’s 2024 win, causing eyebrows to raise all over the world.

Not that the Trmp brothers care about this. “The Trmp family has used cryptocurrency to self-enrich to a disgusting degree,” explains independent reporter David Pakman, “and when asked about conflicts of interest they just go…’there’s always accusations of that.'”

After defending their shady business ties with United Arab Emirates royalty, the brothers launch into a pity party of dramatic proportion.

“We’re the most cancelled people in the world,” Eric says, complaining that the entire family was kicked off every social media platform like it’s an actual problem for them. “Our agenda was to modernize finance to allow that to never ever ever happen to anybody again.”

Well, there’s an easier way to ensure that that doesn’t happen to anyone ever again—which is for people to not act like the Tr*mp family and to just use social media in a normal way, not a self-serving, scammy, hateful way.

But the best part is yet to come: today, just days after the cocksure interview given by Don Jr. and Eric, World Liberty Financial is in deep, deep doodoo.

Yesterday, token holders started dumping their coins en masse, causing the USD1 value to take a steep drop. Shortly afterward, Don Jr.’s Truth Social posts about his crypto company started disappearing. It didn’t take long for investors to start jumping ship, causing a $270 million loss for the bitcoin venture and an 8% value drop for the stablecoin. Or should we say, not-so-stablecoin?

But true to form, World Liberty Financial is blaming a non-existent boogeyman.

“A coordinated attack was launched against USD1 this morning. Attackers hacked several WLFI cofounder accounts, paid influencers to spread FUD, and opened massive $WLFI shorts to profit from the manufactured chaos,” the official X account tweeted. “It didn’t work.”

Well…it did work, if we want to be totally technical about it. But as usual, the Trmps are allergic to admitting defeat. Any obvious loss they experience must be transformed into a win by the sheer power of delusion. For those in doubt, see Trmp’s comment about being “completely exonerated” by the Epstein files release.

Even without the surprise attack on the WLF, a drop in value was imminent. The company’s cofounders include not only Eric and Don Jr., but scam artist Chase Herro, who once stated that: “you can literally sell sh*t in a can, wrapped in piss, covered in human skin, for a billion dollars if the story’s right, because people will buy it.”

Eric Trvmp announced that the Trvmp Organization would be building a hotel in Australia.

“I am so proud to announce what will soon be the tallest building in Australia — Trv_mp International Hotel & Tower Gold Coast,” Eric wrote in a post on X. “This marks our first venture into Australia — an extraordinary country in every respect — and I couldn’t be more excited to help shape its iconic skyline forever.”
