Trump unveils NFT trading cards in ‘major announcement’ [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Former President Donald Trump got fans excited when he teased a “major announcement” on Wednesday.
- He later unveiled an NFT collection of “Trump Digital Trading Cards,” costing $99 each.
- Each card, featuring idealized artwork of himself, grants a sweepstakes entry for a chance to meet him.
Supporters of former President Donald Trump eagerly awaited the “major announcement” he teased on Wednesday morning on his Truth Social platform. Several theories arose, including speculations that he could create his own party or run for Speaker of the House. But no one expected the announcement to be an unveiling of “Trump Digital Trading Cards.”
On Thursday morning, Trump launched an NFT collection of digital trading cards featuring fictionalized artwork of himself in various costumes and settings.
Trump announced on Truth Social, “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!”
The trading cards featured art of himself in different outfits and settings, including Trump as a football player, an astronaut, or a cowboy.
Trump wrote, “Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting.”
Each card cost $99. Every purchase would deliver a randomly generated NFT trading card of the former president, and an automatic entry to a sweepstakes for a variety of prizes, including a chance to meet him.
Trump remarked that the cards “would make a great Christmas gift,” adding, “Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!”
Critics wondered what could have spurred the former president to release an NFT collection at a time that has controversy surrounding the crypto community. Many wondered if he badly needed the funds for his 2024 presidential campaign or his legal battles.
But the trading card website clarified that proceeds will not go toward Trump’s presidential campaign.
Fans were excited to hear what Trump’s “major announcement” would be, which led to various speculations regarding his campaign. Some thought that he could be announcing a running mate, others thought that he could run as an independent, and some even thought that he would drop out of the race altogether.
Trump’s favorability rating has been decreasing in polls, recently falling behind potential rivals, Democrat President Joe Biden and fellow Republican, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

I voted for Trump mainly to keep the Clinton Witch out of the White House. Now, his spoiled brat personality has made him a dismal failure once again.
America needs a dedicated civil servant who will act on behalf of the people instead of his over active ego. He needs to understand that God has given us all two eyes, two ears and only one mouth. There is a reason for this and I remember the words of an old friend and mentor many years ago: “YOU CAN NOT LEARN ANYTHING WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN”

It was fun watching people get all jacked up about his mysterious ‘big announcement’ (yet another one), mostly because I just didn’t care any more. Then you had to laugh with the NFT cards! Trump had some huge wins during his term, but also some huge failures as well. Anyone who paid attention from 2015 onward saw Pelosi’s and the Democrats maneuvering the election rigging into place a year before COV!D hit in Dec 2019 – we could see it coming: voter rolls, mail-in ballot laws, etc. Trump withstood more than any human should have to endure with the relentless and unfounded attacks throughout his entire presidency. I always backed him, even though I didn’t like the egotistical name-calling uncivil behavior, I felt he had no choice because corporate media is owned and controlled by the Globalist Elites and Democrats. So trying to run a country and communicate in 140 character chunks is gonna have some rough spots. Add to that the dumbing down and indoctrination of our American society for the last several decades and it’s easy to understand why he had to go with the blunt attention-getting social media comms.
But Trump completely lost me forever with his Operation Warp Speed. Granted, OWS started before Trump’s presidency, but he had the power to stop if if he wanted to. You didn’t need to be a doctor (in fact, it helps not to be since the medical field is completely captured and part of the medical-pharma-gov’t industrial complex) to quickly figure out the truth about SARS-CoV-2 and the bioweapon-renamed-vaccine. Now almost 3 years later, the truth that we “conspiracy theorist anti-vaxxers” knew all along is hitting more mainstream news. It’s not there yet, but give it another year of people dropping dead and disease rates thousands of times higher than pre-vaxx norms and all but the extremely brainwashed should wake up. And Trump continues to push the vaxxes… Hmm.
Even with the COV!D attack, Trump won 2020 by a huge landslide. That will come out eventually too, hopefully we won’t need to wait 60 years like we’re still waiting for the truth on the JFK assassination.
So now what do America First Constitutional Patriots do? We have far too many RINOs in office. The Democrats control the Holy Grail of tyranny, which is the elections. Look at this year’s Arizona’s mid-terms. No thinking individual, no matter which party, can deny blatant fraud. Our courts are just as corrupt as our politicians, refusing to seek justice and truth and instead playing political process games. Watch Finchem’s hearing yesterday (Friday 15th) if you have the stomach for it. You’ll never find what you’re not looking for. Our gov’t owes We The People the proof that elections are irrefutably honest and legal through transparency, we shouldn’t have to ask for it or file lawsuits. That should be the case for every election, all the way down the ballot. In AZ, our 2018, 2020, and now 2022 elections were all complete jokes. I don’t know, it would be nice to clean up the GOP and rid ourselves of the RINOs, but we’ve got the fox guarding the hen house and as long as those old style self-serving Republicans along with their Democrat compatriots are doing the guarding of the proverbial hen house, we’ll be having chicken for dinner every night.

my neighbor who does business in Asia said t.rump NFT was a FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY all done to wash millions in EURO cartel drug money…HE GETS CASH, THEY GET NEGOTIABLES THAT THEY TURN OVER AND FLIP back for cleaned laundered cash…
A very smart ego maniacal well done grift.
An incredibly bent and dangerous person finally getting his come up ence….
60 republican appointed judges…60…threw out each make believe election fraud suit, in t.rumps seditional attempt to re install a psychotic traitor!
But I would out of compassion, empathy, sympathy, pity, kindness and concerns,
allow him to commit publicly televised suicide by a fast acting poison!
then a quick cremation, and a tombstone that says…
“I was fired!”
