Trump did not discuss specifics about World Liberty Financial on Monday or how it would work, pivoting from questions about cryptocurrency to talking about artificial intelligence or other topics. Instead, he recounted his experience Sunday, saying he and a friend playing golf heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five. I would have loved to have sank that last putt, Trump said.
