Here we go again, Patriots. The liberal media machine is working overtime to tear down another America First conservative who threatens their cozy establishment.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), the frontrunner for Florida's 2026 gubernatorial race, is now facing manufactured outrage from the Washington Examiner over his wife's perfectly legal bitcoin investments. According to congressional financial disclosures, Mrs. Donalds purchased cryptocurrency during a market decline - you know, the kind of smart "buy low" investing that millions of Americans do every day.

But because Donalds supports pro-crypto policies that align with President Trump's America First agenda, the establishment wants to cry "conflict of interest." Give us a break.

This is the same playbook they used against Trump for four years - take legal business activities and twist them into imaginary scandals. Donalds has been transparent about his investments through proper congressional disclosure channels, following all the rules that apply to every member of Congress.

The Real Story They Don't Want You to Know

What's really happening here is that Byron Donalds represents everything the deep state fears: a brilliant conservative leader who understands that America needs to dominate emerging technologies like cryptocurrency instead of letting China take the lead.

President Trump himself has embraced crypto-friendly policies, recognizing that financial innovation strengthens American economic dominance. Donalds is simply supporting the Trump agenda that Florida voters overwhelmingly endorsed in 2024.

The timing of this hit piece is no coincidence. Donalds is surging in GOP primary polls for Florida governor, and the establishment knows he would be a formidable conservative leader who won't bow to special interests.

"Byron Donalds has been completely transparent and followed all congressional disclosure requirements. This is just another desperate attempt to smear a conservative rising star," said one GOP strategist familiar with the situation.

Every day, members of Congress make investments while supporting policies that could affect various sectors. The hypocrisy is staggering when you consider how many Democrats have gotten rich off their "public service" with zero scrutiny from these same media outlets.

Florida Patriots see right through this manufactured controversy. They want leaders who understand 21st-century economics and support policies that keep America competitive globally. Byron Donalds delivers exactly that leadership.

They hate successful conservatives, especially when they're smart with money like Byron is.

Wait, so politicians can invest in stocks that they might influence with legislation, but Bitcoin is somehow a problem? Make it make sense!

Exactly! Nancy Pelosi made millions on stock trades but crickets from the media.

The mainstream media will attack any conservative who threatens their narrative. Byron is smart, articulate, and successful - everything they hate in a Republican leader.

I've been investing in Bitcoin since 2019 and it's been one of my best financial decisions. Smart move by Donalds - Bitcoin is the future of money and represents true financial freedom from government control.

This is exactly why Byron Donalds needs to keep rising in the party. They're scared of him!
