Former president Donald Trump promoted his family’s new cryptocurrency project Monday during a disorganized livestream short on details and even shorter on actual mentions of cryptocurrency, but the Trump clan’s supposed top “DeFi visionary” ghosted on the affair.
Trump’s youngest son Barron, 18, was nowhere to be found when it came time for him to speak, some two hours into the meandering promotional for World Liberty Financial, which even Trump’s crypto sector allies reportedly think is a stupid idea.
“He’s not here anymore,” said Farokh Sarmad, the crypto entrepreneur who hosted the livestream on X. “We took too long. We’re gonna try and get him back.” It would have marked Barron’s first major speaking role in public.
