Qatar knew that they had to get him a cut and they wanted to get Donald Trump a taste that he would listen to them and be amenable to them. So they would rent an office space in a floor of a building he owned. People who were coming to visit D.C. and were going to conduct business with the federal government knew that they needed to stay at the Trump Hotel across the street.

But I mean, how much money are you really getting there? I mean, the rack rate on a hotel room there is like, what, $850, maybe $1,300 for a nice room, office space. And plus, there's all these other middlemen taking cuts out of it, right? You've got to pay tax on it. Trump 2.0 realized that you could industrialize and take to scale corruption if you owned platforms and currencies.

Because then people don't need to physically currency currencies. People don't need to actually show up at a physical location to deliver you the bags of money. And they can do it at the scale of billions of dollars at a time. They could say, yeah, we're going to conduct a business using $2 billion of your currency and you'll get whatever the blockchain percentage says of it.

Look, anything is possible. I could be wrong.

They were down 14. They only have four players. This is not a JVL is always right money back guarantee. But on the other hand, I look at this and I think these things are all hard to explain to people. I think the average person does not even understand crypto or finance or any of this stuff.
