Yes, but not blocks of history, new blocks. Can they verify those?

A partial node can validate the block header but it cannot validate the transactions in the block.

And a pruned node?

yes a pruned node validates all blocks and all transactions. It is fully trustless. But because it is pruned it is not appropriate for something like a block explorer which may seek to view transactions and blocks that have been pruned.

But yes, pruned nodes are trustless.

as I've been explaining to you since the beginning of this conversation, Kaspa cannot be run trustlessly.

If a pruned node validates all blocks and transactions, what’s the issue with Kaspa?

And to be clear, I buy BTC and Kaspa weekly.

Good for you. You buy bitcoin which is the hardest money in the history of human civilization and kaspa which is a centralized shitcoin that cannot be run trustlessly.
