According to Internet reports, Trump posted a post on Truth Social on March 2,"Strategic reserves of cryptocurrencies including XRP, SOL and ADA will be promoted." A few hours later, Trump felt that he had been fooled and was furious. He ordered Brian Ballard to be included in the White House's "blacklist." At that time, Trump was participating in a donation event at Mar-a-Lago Estate. An employee of the well-known lobbying organization Ballard Partners lobbied the president in person many times, strongly advocating that Trump publicly express his support for the encryption industry. The lobbyist not only personally delivered the prepared speech model to Trump, but also repeatedly emphasized the importance of promoting the industry. Trump later realized that Ripple Labs, the company behind XRP mentioned in the tweet, was a customer of Ballard Partners. Lobbying firm Ballard Partners is run by U.S. political lobbyist Brian Ballard, who is known for his close relationship with Trump and was once considered an "insider" in the Trump administration. A few minutes after the president posted, David Sacks, White House director of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, was furious and immediately called Chief of Staff Susie Wiles to protest. Trump also bluntly stated at an internal meeting that Ballard "never wants to get involved in anything again." White House staff were instructed not to meet with Brian Ballard. Despite being banned internally, Ballard still received invitations from Trump for fundraising events and successfully arranged for NFL executives to meet with the president. Evidence shows that Ballard has not severed ties with the White House.
