After having spent most of the last two years playing golf and dining with his paying fans at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump picked up the pace of his campaign a little bit this past weekend. He met with a Christian group on Friday night and then made two appearances back to back, first at a Bitcoin convention in Tennessee followed by a rally in Minnesota.
You might think that just coming off of the Republican National Convention 10 days ago and after last week's dramatic events in the Democratic Party going to a Bitcoin convention might not be among your top priorities. But Trump is always hungry for money and his campaign's been collecting Bitcoin donations for a couple of months while observing that large cryptocurrency PACs have put over $180 million into some congressional races. So he went there along with some other high-profile Republicans and Vivek Ramaswamy to make a bunch of promises at the behest of donors, which he clearly didn't understand, and make a pitch for votes from people who had listened to independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the night before.
