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.
That is so funny!
In other words: do as I say, not as I do!
I do not know if you remember what happened in the run up to the election of Donald Trump? He was not against Bitcoin back then.. he even appointed people that was pro-Bitcoin back then.
So ask yourself ..What happened since then? Well the former first lady has announced the launch of her own NFT platform... so he might be trying to eliminate the competition? (or to reduce the support for Bitcoin from his supporters)
I remember that. It was in 2016, crypto market even reacted well to his victory and there was a lot of hope he could be one of the first world's leaders to start talking about bitcoin in a positive way.
But actually since before the launchment of his wife's NFT platform he is against bitcoin, so I think when he talked positively about the digital currency back in 2016 it was just part of his propaganda to endorse anything the establishment was against, in order to enforce his position as an outsider and savior of american people from the bureaucrats and the fake news media.
