Omunye uMongameli wase-US uDonald Trump uphinde waqinisekisa inhloso yakhe yokunciphisa umusho kaRoss Ulbricht, umsunguli weSilk Road. U-Ulbricht, owadala ipulatifomu yewebhu emnyama yokuhweba kwezimpahla ezingekho emthethweni, uhlala isigwebo sokuphila esiphindwe kabili kanye neminyaka eyengeziwe ye-40 ngaphandle kwethuba lokukhululwa. Icala lakhe livuse izingxoxo eziningi, kanti abagxeki, njenge-venture capitalist uTim Draper, babheka lesi sigwebo ngokweqile.
Ngo-Okthoba 1, 2024, u-Ulbricht waqala unyaka wakhe we-12 wokuboshwa. Uphawule usuku ngomyalezo, oshicilelwe ngomndeni wakhe, ezwakalisa ukuzimisela kwakhe ukusebenzisa kahle isikhathi sakhe ejele. Ekuphenduleni, uTrump uthumele epulatifomu yakhe Iqiniso Social: "NGIZOSINDISA ROSS ULBRICHT!" Lokhu kuphinde kwaqinisekisa ukweseka kwakhe u-Ulbricht, kwathembisa ukumkhulula uma ephinde abe ngumengameli.
Ngaphambilini uTrump uzwakalise ukuzimisela kwakhe ukunciphisa isigwebo sika-Ulbricht. Ngasekuqaleni kuka-2024, wamemezela emhlanganweni weLibertarian Party ukuthi isenzo sakhe sokuqala njengomongameli kuzoba ukuxolela u-Ulbricht.
