Trump's Crypto 'Transparency': Stammered Pardons & Selective Cuts
In a spectacle fit for the 2025 circus, President Trumpâs '60 Minutes' interview was trimmed like a bad crypto walletâ28 minutes aired, 73 online, but juicy corruption doubts? Left on the cutting room floor. The CBS extended cut showed Trump denying knowing Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, then refusing to address corruption appearances with a stammering 'Iâd rather not answer.' Remarkably, Trump claimed, '60 Minutes paid me a lotta money' while complimenting new editor Bari Weiss, fresh from Paramountâs $16 million settlement with Trump post-Kamala Harris editing scandal. Amid FCC drama, Chuck Schumer threatened complaints but FCC chair joked of the government shutdownâs grift-proof shield. Crypto? Trump craved US dominance 'massive industry,' China watch out!

Trumpâs 60 Minutes interview was like a crypto wallet: selectively opened and mostly silent on corruption, with bonus stammering and FCC drama starring Schumer and a government shutdown that made complaints vanish faster than Binance transparency.
When Trump says 'I donât mind answering questions,' but then refuses to answer the one about corruption, itâs the political equivalent of a mute magician revealing all his secrets except the biggest trick.
Paramount paying $16 million to Trump for an interview edit scandal, then installing Bari Weiss as CBS editorâbecause nothing says 'press freedom' like settling up with the subject and hiring their friend to run the newsroom.
