Trump reveals 'major announcement' — a digital trading card collection worth $99
"MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting. Go to collecttrumpcards.com/ & GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly," Trump wrote on Truth Social.Wow... Selling NFTs. I'll admit, that was not on my list of guesses.
Honestly I'm surprised it took this long. Grift usually recognizes grift.
Melania started slinging NTFs over a year ago, starting with a painting of herself where the owner of the blockchain wallet that created the auction placed the winning bid.
She then branched out into the "POTUS NFT Collection" back in February and has been selling this sh*t to rubes ever since.
I love how every few months since the election the MAGAs whip themselves into a frenzy because of some imminent “big announcement” from Trump and then it always turns out to be some stupid grift like this and they have to find some way to connect it back to their conspiracy theories.
I think what I like most is how monumentally terrible all of them are.
I'm pretty sure the one with a signature on it isn't how his signature looks. He has a pretty distinct signature and that ain't it.

Yeah it's just like mountains and valleys, unreadable but distinctly his.
Trumpemon. Gotta contract them all.

Broke-e-mon
And they doubled in value in the gray market
According to data from OpenSea, at time of writing, the collection’s trading volume is 900 ETH, or about $1.08 million. Its floor price is about 0.19 ETH, or about $230 – more than double the original price of $99.
An interesting thought I saw
I believe the latter though the former being successful is just gravy on top.
Though I am sure they can manipulate that as well spending a million only to release the second set for more money and more cards. (spend a million to make 2 or 3 or 4 more)
It costs practically nothing to produce other than a photoshop artist or two for a week. You can get rock bottom ones on Fiver I hear.
Maybe even the AI art generators could be put to work.

Works for me!
I may try and get in on this action. I could use a couple hundred bucks per from rubes.
I may even try and make an ultimate one off and sell to the highest bidder. Maybe I could get a few mill for it?

Crim-e-mon.
On a side note, wonder if it's AI generated "art".
Even if it passed it would just fuel the conspiracy theorists but how much stuff do you *not* do because you are afraid it will piss off some group?
House Democrats introduce bill to bar Trump from office under 14th Amendment
The conspiracy theorists don't need fuel, they're a perpetual motion machine. f*ck'em.
No chance it passes, but f*ck that too. Make the cowards that would vote against it go on record and do so.

Apparently its just cheap photoshop of ripped google images:
And in case you wondered how stupid trumpists are...
Trump's "major announcement" of NFT collection draws ridicule but sells out
Isnt it just speculators who bought it and are trying to resell it?
It's crypto, so yes.
That has “MAGA Bored Apes” written all over it.
Apparently its just cheap photoshop of ripped google images:
Someone found a Shutterstock watermark in one of the images that whoever made the NFTs forgot to Photoshop out.
You can even see the white half circle divot on the upper left then done over by 45. Wow so bad.
Also the big hand just seems jarring.
