Trump's "I Don't Know Him" Act? Yeah, Right.

So, Trump pardons crypto bro Changpeng Zhao – CZ, whatever – for enabling money laundering, then pulls the "who's he?" routine on 60 Minutes. Give me a break. I mean, are we really supposed to believe this reality TV president doesn't know who he's letting off the hook? 'I don't know who he is,' says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon

The Swamp's Still Swamping

Trump claims he was told CZ was a victim of a "witch hunt" by Biden. Okay, sure. The same guy who ranted about Hillary's emails is now suddenly concerned about "overreach" when it benefits a crypto billionaire? It stinks, plain and simple. And offcourse, it's not like Trump's hands are clean when it comes to crypto shenanigans...

Remember Justin Sun? The Trump administration halted a fraud case against him after his investments in the Trump family's crypto firm. Birds of a feather, folks.

Then there's Karoline Leavitt, the White House Press Secretary, calling CZ's prosecution a "war on cryptocurrency." A war on cryptocurrency? Seriously? It sounds more like a war for lining their own pockets.

The article mentions CZ's companies partnering with firms linked to Trump, like Dominari Holdings, where Trump's sons sit on the board of advisors. Based in Trump Tower, no less! You can't make this stuff up. It's all tangled up, isn't it?

And while the pardon lifts restrictions on CZ running financial ventures, it's "unclear" whether it changes his standing with US regulators or his role at Binance. Translation: the guy might still be shady as hell, but now he's got a "get out of jail free" card courtesy of the ex-president.

Trump Pardons Crypto Tycoon: What the Hell?

I mean, what's even the point of having regulations if a presidential pardon can just wipe them away like they never existed? It makes a mockery of the whole system.

Speaking of mockeries of the system, my internet provider is throttling my connection again. I swear, every time I try to stream a movie, it's like I'm back in the dial-up era. Maybe I should look into crypto... nah, scratch that. I'm not touching that digital snake pit with a ten-foot pole.

Crypto: The New "Too Big to Fail"?

Trump also said the US needs to be a leader in crypto to avoid China gaining an advantage. So, now money laundering is a matter of national security? That's rich.

Look, I'm not saying all crypto is evil, but let's be real: it's a breeding ground for scams, fraud, and shady dealings. And pardoning guys like CZ just sends the message that crime pays – especially if you're rich and connected.

Why are we even legitimizing this stuff? Why are politicians so eager to jump on the crypto bandwagon? It's either ignorance, greed, or both. Probably both.

He's Playing Us All for Fools

This whole thing is just another reminder that the swamp is alive and well, and Trump is right back in the thick of it. "I don't know who he is," he says. Yeah, and I'm the Queen of England.
