Trump's Fury on Ripple, Solana, and XRP: Disappointment Upon Hearing the Name! - Coin Bulletin

Trump expressed great anger upon learning that the Truth Social post, which stated that XRP, Solana, and Cardano should be included in the "Crypto Strategic Reserve," was written by a lobbying firm working for Ripple.

According to Politico, an employee of the lobbying firm Ballard Partners presented a message that should have been written to Trump, and Trump shared this message on Truth Social. However, upon learning that the message was connected to Ripple, Trump experienced great disappointment and expressed his anger towards lobbyist Brian Ballard.

In a post made by Trump in March, he stated, "A US Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corruption attacks from the Biden administration. That’s why I instructed the Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets to create a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA." Following the post, the prices of Cardano, XRP, and Solana rose. Trump then indicated that the reserve would also include Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Although Ripple claims it does not control XRP, it is recognized as the company that has the closest relationship with the token. It is reported that Trump feels he has been "used" and is facing a loss of reputation in Ballard's "Western Wing."
