He made that with the business he already had and some legal cryptocurrency investment based on capitalizing his fame. How on earth you call that "corruption"?

  When the dude's family is simultaneously launching and/or on the board of directors of many 'crypto' scams, while he is in office promoting the government owned use of crypto, its pretty much corruption of the first order. The dude wouldn't even divest himself of his businesses, nor would he reveal his tax returns, both items which would go a significant way toward easing everyone's concerns. (well, maybe actually looking at the tax returns would make everyone a lot more concerned...)

  And members of congress have their spouses just make totally legal stock market trades because they happen to be genius investors, don’t you dare suggest otherwise!

  How could "buy and hold my crypto pump and dump or Ill cut aid/hike tariffs to your country" not be corruption?

    People who voted for him are still trying to work out in their own heads how he's not a criminal.

      They aren't really trying, they admire crooks who get away with it.

  A president using his status in government to influence private business deals certainly feels like corruption

  Is it not literally bribery, which is definition number 1 for corruption?

  Political corruption entails at least one of: - Bribery - Embezzlement of public form - Nepotism, cronyism, or patronage You can accuse him of beign inmoral, but “corruption” has a very specific meaning.

    He's taking bribes. That is what the crypto is for.

  I'm frankly amazed that not a small portion of the population seriously believe that he's not corrupt and is genuinely trying to do what's best for the country. Many believe he's making a personal financial sacrifice in doing so. And this despite the mountains of evidence. I mean the man isn't even trying to hide it. I'm not trying to be snarky here, just curious and seriously trying to understand the thought process. Not sure if I'll get a response here, but if we just take one example of trump coin and dinner invite for those bought a lot of it. How do you justify that? And if Biden or Obama did the same thing, launch their coin which they have control over while being president. Invite people that they can directly benefit or harm with their position to buy and hosts a person dinner for those that bought a lot of it, would you be as forgiving?
