Former President Donald Trump may want to Make America Great Again, but he’s also got his eyes on the future.
Prior to his rally in Uniondale, Trump visited Manhattan’s crypto-themed bar, PubKey. Video footage posted by Margo Martin shows him passing out burgers to patrons, cracking jokes, and having a good time.

This comes after the Trump family gathered to promote their new business, World Liberty Financial (WLF). The former president credits his youngest son Barron for pushing him in the direction of cryptocurrency and NFTs.
“Barron knows so much about this. Barron’s a young guy, but he knows – he talks about his [crypto] wallet, he’s got four wallets or something, and I’ll say ‘What is a wallet?’ But he knows it inside out,” he explained during an X-Space on the topic.

X users reacted to the more relaxed side of the Republican nominee:
Man, the dude is being shot at and death threats nonstop, and all he wants to do is hand out burgers, shakes, and sign shirts.
What a dude.
