Yeah, eventually we may have to concede that Douglas Adams will have proven to be the most accurate techofuturist of the 21st century, which is mildly amusing given that he died in 2001.

Trump’s interest in crypto is limited to—and I say this with a high degree of certainty—that SBF was able to steal $8B of it and if Trump gets re-elected, that’ll look like rookie numbers.

He’s issued some NFTs, so a bit more interest than that.

That “he’s” is doing some heavy lifting, he approved a plan where some crypto bros made some nfts and sold them, giving him a healthy slice of the profits.

When asked what his favourite book is, Biff’s stock answer is All Quiet on the Western Front. This is one of the “tells” that supports the contention that he’s aliterate to the point that he’s effectively illiterate. The novel has long been a fixture on middle school reading lists (including military schools). I have no doubt that it was the last book he ever attempted to read, before bullying a classmate into churning out a book report for him.

IIRC Trump insists on making his bed himself. This is something that he would have had to learn to do at boarding school, to strict standards enforced by regular inspections. No doubt he bribed or bullied other boys into doing it for him, but eventually the housemaster (or whatever the American equivalent is) would have found out, punished him and tested him until he could do it himself.

He’s a case study in arrested development – a perpetual 12-year-old boy, and a rotten one at that. It’s also expressed in his attitude towards women, his eating habits, his taste in interior design, and his affinity for WWE wrestling.

He’s a rotten, randy 12 year old boy who thinks that being obsessed with sex and hawt women is a sign of maturity and sophistication. He was attracted to the modelling world because it meant sexy women who dressed “classy” – he could pretend that he admired them for their style instead of just wanting to fuck them.

I’ve thought that crypto has the same imaginary value as pieces of fancy paper with lovely portraits of Presidents printed on it, except that it’s much more efficient at destroying the planet’s atmosphere.
Those pieces of paper are at least backed by the government. I think it’s closer to the pieces of paper labeled with “(x) shares”

Now that would be highly entertaining. Even more so would be the replacement of the traditional Alice/Bob method with a completely fictional one—let’s call it the Sinclair and Kovalev method. Trump would undoubtedly waffle, as you described, but the real fun would come from observing Trump’s reaction once he’s let in on the joke.

Remember, most people don’t understand cryptocurrency, so Trump’s lack of understanding doesn’t sound like a lack of understanding. It’s the old observation:
Trump is a stupid person’s idea of a smart person.
