Crypto Trump
I don't believe in getting my panties in a bunch over Donald Trump and his sponsors. The world is going to hell in the proverbial hand basket and Trump and his irrational deeds are symptoms of exploding global chaos rather than its engineers.
Whatever his real role in history is, whether as tool or dictator in command of capitalism, he is turning himself into a joke that even his most ardent MAGA fan boys and fan girls can get:
President Donald Trump is once again under scrutiny over foreign money flowing into his family’s cryptocurrency business, and his response to potential emoluments clause violations followed a familiar pattern — feigned ignorance, internal contradictions, and an insistence that critics simply don’t grasp his brilliance.
Pressed on whether overseas investors were enriching his family while he occupies the Oval Office, Trump dismissed the concerns as “ridiculous,” insisting he has no involvement in the venture even as he defended it at length as an innovation the country can’t afford to lose. As he spoke, his denials repeatedly clashed with his own public statements and disclosures tied to the project, turning his attempt at deflection into a self-inflicted stumble.
Rather than directly addressing the constitutional issue at the center of the controversy, Trump pivoted to grievance, framing the scrutiny as yet another politically motivated attack and casting himself as a victim of unfair treatment. The more specific the questions became, the more abstract his responses grew.
“Well, I don’t know about it,” Trump said, despite the deal involving his own family business. “My sons are handling it. My family is handling it. And I guess they get investments from different people. But I have all I can handle right now with Iran and with Russia and Ukraine and with all the things we’re doing. So I don’t know exactly other than I’m a big crypto person. I’m the one that probably helped crypto more than anybody. Because I believe in it.”
Only then did Trump reach for a familiar fallback — warning that if the United States doesn’t move forward on cryptocurrency under his leadership, other countries will. In particular, he invoked China as the looming threat, suggesting that any attempt to rein in his family’s business would amount to handing economic dominance to America’s chief rival.

Crypto, now that I see Trump's endorsement of and profiting by crypto, is a crock, just like Trump. Crypto currency is imaginary money that you buy in hopes of selling it later for real money.
I advocate ridicule and a focus on the Trumpian Adventures in obvious bullshit that he and his friends cannot come up with a better reposte than, "That's just liberal crap."
"I'm a big crypto person." The most truthful comment in this asshole's public life.

Well, not really. But we can pretend!

I don't get it

Is Bondi insinuating the Dow is up
because of Epstein? Same real mental
contortions involved there. Perhaps she
is competing for the Kallas title.

Sigh... having to explain a joke
after which it's no longer as funny. As for Bondi, she was cornered by Congress on the Epstein files, and the Dow quote was her response.

Pam Bondi: Shocking and Hilarious.
No DC Hearing will ever be the same.
It was a free-for-all.
The US is finished.
From this point on, we will just be faking it.
I honestly don't think there is anything left in the US worth discussing.
Not for me, anyway,.

Yeah.
I think you figured that out really early
...about the punch-line.
I didn't expect it to end in ridicule. An isolated bully, hiding on dark side of the planet, terrorizing the indigenous Americas.
And I sure didn't expect Europe to become such complete fools. I thought when the EU became a Union, they would grow together in stature and achieve noble advances in civilization. Working together, they would shape the modern parameters of a worthy civilization for the future of humanity. Instead, they recycled their Neo-NAZIs to lead them nowhere. Two thousand years of wars, and cruel feudal injustice, and religious nonsense had broken them. Europe was never a real civilization, and it could never become one in an enlightened world.
Punch-lines and after-thoughts.
All Maggott Brained (tRump) is and
has ever been is a bright shiny puppet. It's his/its puppet masters and rubes who voted for it who pizz me off. Here I am in my final years in good health, both physically and financially, having to deal with imbecilic American Nazis, brownshirts, and concentration camps!! I skip it (glad for genetic BP). And Bimbo Bondi? You're talking to a Floridian here. That ditz with a bad hair color job should have been jailed years ago. Thanks for the vent forum. Rec'd!!

Indirectly, yes
In the context of GOP 21st Century politics, Bondi is saying that the stock market is more significant than Trump's little scam with crypto crap. As big-time scams go, this one is actually quite modest. Well below a billion bucks to his sons.
She implies that it's self-evident that Trump made the Dow hit 50K for no comprehensible reason, just Trump magic. She is saying that "we" should be talking about the Dow rather than how Trump cons money out of chumps.
Personally, I think his conning of fat cat investors is the least of his flaws as a human being.
