Former President Donald Trump stopped by a New York City crypto-themed bar, where he signed autographs for his supporters and handed out promoted "crypto burgers."

Donald Trump promoted 'crypto burgers' at a bar.
A video was shared by Trump's deputy director of communications of the GOP nominee, which showed the politician standing over a table of burgers, scanning people's QR codes.
âWho wants a hamburger?â Trump said as the crowd inside cheered.
âThose suckers are good too!â he said while handing out burgers to people inside of the bar. âThis is a crypto burger, actually you should name them â name them Bitcoin and a crypto.â
The clip was shared all over social media, where many of Trump's loudest critics claimed the Republican leader found another way to "scam" his supporters for as much money as he could get.
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared the video, and wrote, "Heâs become a caricature of himself. He is the living, breathing email scam thatâs so absurd you might be inclined to reply just to play along."
Another user commented, "From the guy who doesnât trust electronic voting machines!? I guarantee he hasnât put any of his own money into this crypto! Guaranteed! He is a grifter of the first order."
A third person asked, "Does he actually want to be president? Or is campaigning just another scam from chumps?
