jesus fucking christ
why did he even go to that event? he's already got the racist vote in the bag, and it doesn't seem like he put a molecule of effort into convincing any attendees that he's the best choice. actually nvm, he's just fucking stupid and incompetent on top of being racist af
The submission title of "earning trust" is fucking hilarious but it speaks to your question. Trump has appeared before an audience of Bitcoin enthusiasts in recent days. He's apparently open to reaching out to crowds that aren't his core MAGA audience at this particular moment.
Knowing as we do now that this event went to shit for him, it's easy to look back and say it wasn't strategic for him to do it, but for the campaign manager planning the event, it was probably an easier call than letting him debate Joe Biden was, and he [will be perceived as having] "nailed that," right?
He’s desperate and going for any Hail Mary in reach.
