Trump Fundraised Off Crypto/AI

USA Today reported:

Just 11 days after President Donald Trump hosted a $1 million dinner for the MAGA Inc. Super PAC, he kicked it up another notch in May with a $1.5 million-per-plate dinner at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia. 

Co-hosting the shindig with him on May 5 was David Sacks, the White House AI and crypto czar who collaborates with lawmakers on potential regulations for digital assets.

Trump granted Sacks an exemption from conflict of interest rules, which are even less for a special government employee. 

Sacks said he wasn't divesting anything when he got the nod but did not stick to that.  He sold a number of holdings:

What benefit does David get from selling assets as a special government employee?

Tax deferral on over $200 million in crypto related holdings is great for someone who hates paying their fair share of taxes.  I'm sure most of the $1.5 million per plate dinners felt likewise.

The question becomes at what point will donors have paid more to remain in Trump's close orbit than they would have paid under a fair tax situation?  Four years of $1.5 million per plate dinners could add up to some serious money for the "All In" crowd.

Taxes may be more predictable than Trump's endless glad handing (which is really an overt demand for cash).
