President Trump said he does not discuss cryptocurrency with his sons because the presidency is a "much higher calling" as he compared himself to "other wealthy presidents." "One of the wealthiest, believe it or not, was George Washington," he said Monday in the Oval Office. "George Washington had two desks … one was for business and one was for the presidency. He had two desks in the same room, and so you're allowed to, but I choose not to." The remarks come as reports estimate the president earned about $636 million from his own cryptocurrency while investors collectively lost an estimated $3.8 billion on the same crypto venture. "I let my kids do whatever the hell they do they can do. I don't talk to them, ever, talk to them about it," he told reporters. "I'm allowed to, I think — I'm allowed to but I don't bother." #trump #crypto #bitcoin #cspan
