Is this trump's version of the autopen?

Trump says he has ‘no idea who’ Binance’s CZ is after pardoning him​

President Donald Trump said he knows nothing about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao — or that company’s recent involvement in a cryptocurrency venture linked to Trump’s family — despite granting him a pardon last month.

Asked in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview that aired on Sunday why he pardoned the former crypto executive known as CZ, Trump said, “Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is.”

In late 2023, Zhao stepped down as CEO of Binance and pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to sufficiently combat money laundering on his crypto exchange. He was sentenced to four months in jail and released in September 2024.

Adam Schiff knows who CZ is.



Personally, I think Don is feigning ignorance about CZ because he doesn't want to answer uncomfortable questions about his connection to the guy. He's choosing to look like a doddering old man rather than a corrupt autocrat. The irony being he's both.

He definitely knows. He made money for Trump COrp.

He did the time: four months, which tends to suggest that it was not a big crime.

True.

And ultimately, Trump doesn’t care since he can commit his crimes with impunity.

If Dotard is to be believed someone told him to sign CZ's pardon without Don knowing who he was pardoning or why.

Which is perfectly okay with The Following.

Or........he lied during the interview and he knows exactly who CZ is.

Which is perfectly okay with The Following.

He told 60 Minutes he had no idea who this guy was, after pardoning him on the word of his Fail Sons.

And the Democrats have no soap box to stand on to call that out and the Republicans lost theirs in condemning Biden's pardons.

 

[Mac1958]

Clearly much of what we're seeing is being handed to him by Stephen Miller and the other neofascists.

And clearly much of it is for purely personal financial reasons. They tell him how the pardon will benefit him, he signs it.

Does America care? Evidently not. The cult will defend anything, and who won on "Dancing with the Stars" is more important to the rest of the country. Okay. That's America.

Biden pardoned 4200 people, do you think he remembers any of them?

Trump is up to 1700. Im sure he might not remember...a few..

Just pointing out, he does not even know what he is signing or who he pardons, even when in business with them. Sounds either demented or Trump is a crook doing political favors to help family business, by pardoning a confessed Crypto Fraud felon. Which is it, dementia or just a crook in the White House?

My guess is a crook. He's always been one.

Strange, Biance is part of FTX and FTX was owned by Larry Fink and BlackRock.

Was Trump in bed with the democrat trillionaire fund

Did democrats prosecute cause this man caused a big loss to democrats

How come the author of this piece never heard of this canadian dealing with yhe democrats

How come democrats did not catch this criminal until after the crimes, why did the checks and balance not work? democrats wrote the laws to protect, why are they not working

Thats not dementia. Thats service for fees paid.

He pardoned CZ like a few weeks ago. He had to have known this would be controversial.

 

[White 6]

I actually figure both crook and demented. If he was not demented, he would not have admitted pardoning the confessed crypto fraudster his family does business with, simply because his sons told him to.

He's also been demented his entire life.

He pardons on recommendations.
