Justin Sun has built a reputation as someone who knows how to spin up news to pump TRX. At the end of April, the Tron founder even managed to turn a pretty nasty event to his advantage.

Sun got involved with the Trump family's projects after he was elected US president. But the $276 million he'd put into World Liberty Finance tokens got unexpectedly frozen after they were unlocked back in September 2025.

Justin Sun waited seven months, and then, as TRX was hitting new highs again in late April, he spotted a perfect news hook to drive the price even higher. By that time, the US president's approval rating had hit rock bottom, and just about everyone was accusing his family of making money off crypto.

On April 21, Sun filed a lawsuit against World Liberty Finance. It was a real information bomb. Sun is the only person in crypto who wasn't afraid to pick a fight with the famously thin‑skinned Trump. At first, TRX dipped, but then it shot up with ten straight days of gains in May!

Suddenly, the names of Trump's sons disappeared from the list of people tied to the project on World Liberty Finance's website. Donald Trump Jr. had to explain himself at the Consensus Miami conference. He claimed there was an "information attack" in the media and that they aren't going anywhere.

Maybe Sun's marketing team stirred up the social media posts. Or perhaps the Tron founder figured the president's family wouldn't want to reveal just how deep they're into crypto, especially if that would come out in court?

In fact, the "Meet our team" section on World Liberty Finance's website, where the sons' faces used to appear, has now been removed. Word is, it's due to a restructuring of the "Super Nodes" program.

Meanwhile, TRX has cleared $0.35 and looks well-positioned to take a shot at last year's high of $0.37.
