I’m not here to say “I told you so.”
In my October 4th article, I wrote that Donald Trump doesn’t care about Bitcoin, and in my November 5th article I wrote that he just wants to participate in the cryptocurrency scam. But I didn’t mention Ross Ulbricht in either, largely because I expected Trump to at least make good on his promise to release Ross. It’s an easy promise to keep, with no real downside for Trump; After more than ten years in prison, Ulbricht deserves to be free.
However, I didn’t really expect Trump to release Ross on the first day of his presidency. I’m sure Inauguration Day is a very busy day for the new president.
Having said that, that’s what Trump did same He said He will. Of course, Trump also said he would have resolved the war in Ukraine by now — and it appears they are Still fighting.
Trump is prattle. He will only say what he wants or what people want to hear, without any regard for the truth. He probably has the most recorded lies of any politician on Earth: for example, fact-checkers from The Washington Post counted more than 30,000 false or misleading claims During his first term as president alone.
However, it is also true that Trump had a busy day yesterday. He signed 26 executive orders (A register the sum of a president’s first day), and pardoned more than 1,500 of his supporters; Those who stormed the US Capitol on January 6th four years ago. Yes, this means the QAnon Shaman breaks free before Ross Ulbricht (H/T Trey Walsh)…but let’s just hope that Elon Musk is proven right in the next few days, and Ross will also be released.
