American Bitcoin Corp. (NASDAQ:ABTC) co-founder Eric Trump lashed out on Tuesday at an article painting the firm as an “arbitrage play” targeting MAGA supporters.
Trump Brings Out The ‘China’ Angle
In an X post, Trump attributed the critical coverage to Forbes’ ownership by Hong Kong-based Integrated Whale Media Investments.
“Since being acquired by China, Forbes has become a political weapon and an embarrassment to journalism,” he said. “Educate yourselves as to the source of your information — in this case, China!”
Trump compared the current narrative to Forbes’ past reporting on his St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fundraising, with some funds allegedly diverted to other charities linked to his family.
Forbes didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.
