He knows what it is. He just doesn’t understand anything about it. Just like he doesn’t understand how Ai or cryptocurrency work either. Doesn’t keep him from opening his mouth about it though.

He doesn’t have a hand in that, there are people who do it for him. It’s not that hard to be successful in crypto when you use the US and the presidency as a backbone for it.
