A week ago:
https://news.bitcoin.com/donald-trump-crypto-very-dangerous-warns-of-explosion/Donald Trump commented on cryptocurrency ... in an interview with Maria Bartiromo over the [last] weekend:
“What do you think about crypto?” Trump was asked. Bartiromo noted that “New York and Miami are really getting cryptocurrency into their financial systems.” The former U.S. president reiterated his anti-crypto stance: “Well, I never loved it because I like to have the dollar. I think the currency should be the dollar so I was never a big fan. But it’s spilling up bigger and bigger, and nobody is doing anything about it.”
Trump has never been a fan of crypto. In August, he predicted that cryptocurrencies are “a
disaster waiting to happen.” In June, he called bitcoin a
scam that needs heavy regulation.
... but ...
Melania Trump announced the launch of her own NFT platform as well as her first NFT “Melania’s Vision”. The platform is based on Solana ...

I hope that he knows, that NFTs are on crypto blockchains.
Trump has been used to using dollars and he's grown up with it. I believe he has experienced the great things that come with using dollars, hence, he has a big trust on it and continues to uplift it despite all of the inflation that has been happening. Maybe because he thinks that inflation is normal and shouldn't really be afraid from as long as the leaders know how to manage well. However, you see it isn't always the case. In which the reason why there is high inflation that is beyond normal from the usual rate which makes the value of dollar depreciate over time. I guess this is one of the sensitive topics he just can't fathom to tackle about because he is so fixated about the power of dollar.
Trump saying bad things about bitcoin or crypto in general is actually not news. It has been reported several times already about how he disgusts the idea of cryptocurrency stating that it is a dangerous thing to do, as if other things done related to money don't possess risks at all. It's just ironic to hear though now that he is supporting his wife's NFT which is clearly anchored also in cryptocurrency. I don't know if he don't really know that NFTs belong to crypto world or he agrees and supports it suddenly because it will benefit him and his wife. Who knows right? Maybe he already has a portfolio in crypto and just don't let the public know because of his previous stance. Either way, they are the only ones to know. I'll just hope he'll just keep his mouth shut if there would be no educational or sensible things he would say about the community.
