I disagree. I think it was a bad move. And I think it's in keeping with sort of the sloppiness and the kind of brashness of Trump. And it's true that there may be this deeper issue or drive to kind of unweaponize justice by pardoning people who should not have been pardoned. According to people in his own administration, he just undermines himself.

I mean, this gets kind of silly, like to say, well, we should try to somehow exculpate Trump because Biden did something worse. Donald Trump consistently misses the opportunity to lead, to try to bring people together and to achieve a kind of common ground. I get it that he's the emcee of, I think, as I put it in my piece, the great circus that is the GOP.

And people like that don't look for common ground. They don't look to lead people. But it's troubling because I think that there is a consensus. There is room for consensus around pardoning people who got swept up in the January 6th crackdown, who were probably treated badly. And at the same time, holding to account those who should be in prison.

And so I guess like trying to compare, like bring in Biden into this equation seems to me to kind of obscure the bigger point, which is that Trump is now president and we expect him to lead the And on his first day, his first opportunity to do so, he flubbed it

But it's time to get off the campaign trail and to lead, right? So we're done with like scoring points. And now we say, you know what? We're going to rise above the freight. We're better than that. And that's where Trump fails, I should say, time and time again. He can never kind of like rise above himself.

Come on.

Yeah, I don't know about what it says about the Trump administration's position on crypto. I mean, he was pretty blunt in his message where he says, you know, the Libertarian Party supported me during my campaign, so I'm going to reward them as I promised to do by releasing or pardoning Russell Brick. There's not much like an ideological commitment there.
