According to reconstruction by The Guardian, Donald Trump has earned at least $2.2 billion over the course of a year and no less than $1.4 billion have come directly from his activities in the cryptocurrency market. The digital component would therefore represent the dominant portion of the indicated income, despite the president having no prior professional experience specific to this market. A trajectory of finances leads us to Justin Sun, Chinese entrepreneur, founder of blockchain Tron and CEO of BitTorrent.

In Washington circles, Sun is considered a determining financial force behind the family Trump's cryptographic initiatives. He had invested nearly $200 million of his own wealth into projects related to the digital assets of the Trumps. This investment places their relationship on a strategic as well as commercial level.

On one hand there is a presidential family capable of transforming its political reputation into a digital activity worth more than a billion dollars; on the other an established player in the cryptocurrency industry interested in reducing the distance between traditional finance and decentralized markets. However, the source does not specify which share of revenue attributed to Trump derives directly from Sun's capital. Proposed comparison with Teapot Dome scandal serves to illustrate the economic scale of the phenomenon.

In the twenties Albert Fall, Secretary of Interior during Warren G Harding presidency received approximately 400000 dollar in bribes equivalent about six millions current day. Two point two billion earned by Trump in one year results roughly between two hundred and three hundreds times superior that sum rivalutated. Parallel however implies no equivalence on legal plane.

Teapot Dome dealt with payment of bribes whereas sums associated with Trump are described as income coming from business ventures. Common thread is rather centralization of relation between public power and private economic interests accentuated this case through presence of significant weight investor and limited transparency available structure operations. Trump has already sold off his brand through products targeted at his base politics including Bibbie and gold sport shoes.

Cryptovalutes have produced a leap forward. According data reported, nearly two thirds of total income considered comes from digital activities transforming sector where president was initially without experience. Sun accompanied own entrepreneurial activity with strong personal communication defining himself promoter billionaire cryptovalute and became known outside sector after buying for more than six million dollars “Comedian” artwork consisting banana fixed to wall with adhesive tape then eating it.

The Guardian argued success of cryptovalutes requires crossing boundaries traditional finance. Alignment with Trumps however did not produce stable relationship. Sun initiated lawsuit against World Liberty Financial, company linked family accusing them of freezing illegal its assets.
