Less than two months ago I got to interview Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago 24 hours after the second assassination attempt. Besides his appearance at BTC Nashville with Bitcoin Magazine, Rug Radio appears to be the only crypto-native media that did so. Regardless of all political opinions, it's an achievement for us and I wanted to reupload the interview because tonight will either be the last day I can brag about it or the beginning of four more years of it. Timestamps: 1:02 - What exactly happened at the Trump National Golf Club on Saturday, September 15th? 4:27 - What does Donald Trump make of the second attempt on his life in 2 months 9:30 - Why does President Trump do this and what motivates him 12:35 - Is there a force out there to get Donald Trump? 16:47 - Why is America not the crypto capital of the world? 19:18 - Learning about crypto from Eric, Don Jr. and Barron and the impact it had on him 23:53 - Is it important for the USA to have a legal framework for crypto? 26:45 - Donald Trump and his success with NFTs 30:46 - What made Donald Trump look at Crypto differently?

The last few weeks have been mentally draining as an Iranian who hates the Islamic Republic and wants them out, but who also hates war, or the idea of a prolonged war that will hurt the iranian people. If I post that I am against a prolonged war, I am told that I'm a traitor, that I wished this on my people and get called 100 different names. If I post that I want the Regime out, I am told that I'm bending the knee to Trump, that I am a war mongerer and also get called 100 different names. There is no winning on social media, there has never been, but what I find shockin is the inability for people to have more balanced opinions. Not everything is all or nothing. Do I think this war is for the liberation of the Iranian people? Absolutely not, it's business as usual. Do I think that the current Regime in Iran is good? Absolutely not, they are terrorists who murder their own people for protesting, and they need to be taken out. At the end of the day I care about one thing and one thing only and that's for the liberation of my people. Since people don't read on X, here's a video of my thoughts.

Yesterday, I got to interview Donald J. Trump, making it the first time he spoke after the second assassination attempt on his life. The energy was electric, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation that followed about cryptocurrency. Yesterday, a lot of you didn’t know me. Today, that changed, and I am eager for you all to join our world and learn more about how it can change yours. I will get to all enquiries in my DMs soon and have put an email in my bio. For now, enjoy a sneak peak leading up to the big moment as we get the final video interview ready and uploaded!
