Over in Trumpland, the presidential hopeful’s most recent crypto stunt involves him buying a hamburger with bitcoin at PubKey, the self-described “bitcoin bar”. Or at least that’s how PubKey tells it, but video of the interaction shows Trump briefly fumbling with a phone handed to him by a helper after he’s instructed to scan a QR code on a tablet. Failing to do so, he hands it back to the helper, who then unsuccessfully tries before handing it to the bar employee who gives it a shot. “Slight technical difficulty...” the employee murmurs, before Trump’s helper exclaims “and fantastic, it went through!” After a few more seconds of fumbling, the bar employee says, with some surprise, “oh, it did go through!” before falsely stating that he had just witnessed “the first transaction by a president on the bitcoin protocol. History.” Not one to be bothered with the fact that he is not the president, or the contradiction with his past claims to have purchased bitcoin, Trump then parrots, “That’s history. History in the making.”
