It is a significant departure from Trump’s previous stance on cryptocurrencies during his stint in the White House when he called bitcoin a scam.

Is it a departure? Trump running a scam seems perfectly in line with his previous stance.

He got paid by crypto bros, now he is pro crypto.

He was anti-EV until Elon paid him to care.

If he gets elected Putin will pay him to pull US support from Ukraine.

That’s how he works

People are presuming he used the word "scam" as most people do - with negative connotations - when, Trump being Trump it's likely that the only negative thing he sees in a "scam" is him not making money from it.
