The Republican presidential nominee changed his tune this year and has embraced the crypto community during his reelection bid. Last week, both of Trump's sons teased an announcement related to the world of crypto and decentralized finance (DeFi). Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump Jr. clarified the tease has nothing to do with memecoins.
“There’s a lot of guys doing great stuff. I love memecoins and that culture. I love what those guys are doing with some friends of mine. It’s great,” Don Jr. said. “But I just have to make sure that people understand that you can’t conflate one thing with another.”
In the lead-up to his Musk interview, Trump began utilizing his X (formerly Twitter) account Monday after going silent for several years in favor of his Truth Social platform.
