Cryptocurrency and the Presidential Election

“I am very positive and open-minded towards cryptocurrency companies and all things related to this new and burgeoning industry,” he stated, before criticizing the current president, Joe Biden, who is his opponent in the 2024 presidential race, with the US election day scheduled for November 4.

Criticism of Biden

“CROOKED JOE BIDEN, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WORST PRESIDENT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, WANTS IT TO DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH ME!” Trump made these remarks ahead of his scheduled speech at the Libertarian Party’s National Convention in Washington on the same day.
