Former First Lady Melania Trump praised her husband’s bid for the White House and supports his decision to run again.

In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News, Melania said that she believes Trump will return America to peace, love, and prosperity during his second term.

In addition, the Trump administration’s achievements has had a great effect on all Americans.

On Tuesday night, the 45th President announced his 2024 presidential campaign from his Mar-a-Lago estate, pledging to return the country to law-and-order and economic success.

Billionaire investor and "Shark Tank" TV show star Kevin O’Leary claimed he would still invest with Sam Bankman-Fried, the man who just lost billions of dollars in cryptocurrency with the collapse of his crypto exchange FTX.

O’Leary, who is also a CNBC contributor, made the perplexing claims during an episode of YouTube crypto finance show "Crypto Banker." 

Bankman-Fried’s company declared bankruptcy last Friday, sending shockwaves throughout the finance world. As Fox Business reported, Bankman-Fried lost $15.6 billion of his own money.

In addition, over 130 companies affiliated with FTX filed bankruptcy along with the exchange, and the massive loss resulted in a major crash in the value of cryptocurrencies worldwide.

Bankman-Fried, who also happened to be the Democratic Party’s second-largest donor in the 2022 political cycle and second only to billionaire George Soros, apologized for the devastating loss. Last Thursday, he wrote, "I'm sorry. That's the biggest thing. I f---ed up, and should have done better."

Despite the historic financial downturn, O’Leary claimed he’d still be more than happy to take a chance on Bankman-Fried.

"Crypto Banker" host Ran Neuner directly asked O’Leary that if Bankman-Fried "knocked on your door again and said, ‘look I failed in my last venture, I have a new crypto venture, I need money.’ Would you back him?"

O’Leary confirmed he would. He prefaced his answer with a defense of Bankman-Fried, stating, "I think we can all admit — you can love him or hate him, given what’s happened — but he was one of the most brilliant traders in the crypto universe. He also built one of the most robust platforms."

The famous investor added, "We used FTX actively. It was a very robust platform that allowed us to get information on a compliant basis, so I really liked what he built."

After Neuner reiterated the question again, O’Leary responded, "The answer would be yes."

Social media users were shocked with his answer. 

The founder of digital assets research firm Reflexivity Research, Will Clemente, tweeted, "Unbelievable @kevinolearytv says he would back SBF again and he was a ‘great trader.’ Kevin, you do realize he was front-running and counter-trading his own customers and dumping accumulated tokens on his own customers?"

He added, "You cannot be serious."

Verified Twitter user and NFT enthusiast Farokh tweeted, "Are you kidding me? Listen to what @kevinolearytv had to say when asked if he’d support SBF again if he knocked on his door with a new idea… you guys are delusional to speak of him that way. Wtf."

Lawyer and founder of Crypto-Law.us John Deaton tweeted, "SBF DID NOT FAIL IN HIS LAST VENTURE. What is wrong w/ @kevinolearytv. He didn’t fail not-so-Mr. Wonderfull. He lied. Cheated. Deceived. Committed insider-trading and stole people’s money. O’Leary had the audacity to criticize @brian_armstrong but he would back SBF again. My God."
