Confused Trump struggles in ‘painful’ crypto interview and keeps trying to change topic

Trump pledged to turn the United States into the “crypto capital of the planet” but found it hard to handle the concept, admitting he has to be taught by 18-year-old son Barron, who was supposed to speak but went missing.

“Barron knows so much about this,” said Trump. “Barron is a young guy. He’s got four wallets or something. I’m saying ‘explain this to me.’ He knows it so well. And Eric and Don. I have a lot of respect for them.”

When asked direct questions, Trump changed the topic to AI needing electricity or China. At one stage, he made a comparison between crypto and his granddaughter learning Chinese.

He said: “It’s sort of like a language. I have a beautiful granddaughter, Ivanka’s daughter, Arabella. She speaks perfect Chinese. Their other two children speak perfect Chinese. From a nanny who was from China.”

Trump slammed the Biden/Harris administration for being “extremely hostile” to crypto, despite initially claiming it was a scam himself.

“My attitude is if we don’t do it, China will. We have to be the biggest and best,” claimed Trump.

“The value of this whole thing is bigger than the top 20 corporations. The numbers are gigantic. It suffers from some credibility lapses.

“It’s very young and growing. If we don’t do it other countries will do it. We have the advantage because it’s me, I do believe in it.”
