Trump Pardoned Crypto Bro After Family Crypto Venture, Shocking No One
Bloomberg's 'Scoop' regarding Donald Trump potentially pardoning Binance founder Changpeng Zhao after Zhao's alleged aid to the 'Trump family crypto venture' reads like a belated exposé. The article, optimistically dated October 2025, details a quid pro quo that feels less like news and more like a template for transactional politics. We’re constantly told to be outraged by individual acts of
corruption, conveniently ignoring that the system itself is designed to monetize influence. This isn't an anomaly, it's the rule. Remember when Trump pardoned Steve Bannon after Bannon's involvement with the 'We Build The Wall' scheme? Or when he commuted the sentence of Roger Stone, a long-time political ally? The pattern is clear: dispense favors, expect returns, and if caught, wait for the next
Republican occupant to clean up the mess with a stroke of the pen. The only 'shocking' part is that anyone pretends this isn't how the game is played, whether it's through PAC money, lobbying, or, apparently, crypto ventures.
