Maybe he is waiting for the inevitable butchering of the artworks to release his crack team of IP lawyers in the hope they can raise more than the NFTs ever will.
Or maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

I think we’d get better results using Midjourney to create those portraits

Whatever gets Trump out of the limelight gets a cheer from me, but DeSantis, man, I don't know, perhaps it's better with the devil you know... Yeah he's a thoroughly sadistic piece of shit and marginally smarter, less compromised and I gather less narcissistic than Trump. My one hope is they split the vote sufficiently, despite the gerrymandering/suppression, and Gen Z do their thing in greater numbers than they did in the midterms Hear, hear!!!

Also Top Trumps should sue. Top Trumps should ENsue more like. I propose a series of cards where Trump and other members of the Trump family are being fucked up the ass, “topped” if you will.

Not going to lie, I'd be tempted by physical copies of these things. As long as he gets no part of the money, mind.

You have to admit, if nothing else, this time he's honest about only wanting the money for himself... So seems the idea is to use those cards to start emptying his PACs money bins by making them buy it. Then announce he will not be a candidate in 2024.

I don’t see how this would be a better way of laundering political donations into his own pocket compared to his previous strategy of (checks paper napkin) “just keep the money”. It’s no more legal or less transparently obvious.
Might be a way to try and inflate the value of them though.

Imagine all the bad things that would need to happen in your life to lead you to the point where you would spend a hundred dollars on a JPEG of Donald Trump dressed like a cowboy. Imagine if you don't get it at first, so you kept spending that amount until you finally get the one you really wanted.

"Trump Card Booster PACks, coming soon to your local game store!" - Hey man, I'll trade you my Astronaut Trump and my Cowboy Trump for that foil SuperTrump! - Cowboy Trump? No way bro, I've got four of him already. I'm game if you've got a Gala Trump though.

But can't I just copy paste from the web page? I'm confused. What is an NFT???

I don’t know if this has been mentioned, but apparently his cards are GIS results with his head pasted on…

Apparently they are all sold out. Although, Trump being Trump, I’m sure they’ll keep making more. Which makes me realize, I thought the point of an NFT image was you had the only one in existence?
Also, the prizes are a doozy. Thousands of prizes translates to 2,000 winnable slots to a 20 minute Zoom call with Donnie. Then a handful of others. Such as a meal with him at MaL. Where the winner has to pay for their own travel and accommodation…
Still, shows us how dead NFTs are as a viable thing. They are so lame, so I wanted, that they are popping people out of his cult. People who were fine with him killing hundreds of thousands of Americans, trying to overthrow the Constitution and almost certainly selling national defense secrets
It’s pretty obvious now that Trump learned his lesson after 2016. A presidential campaign is a great way to fleece rubes for money. You just gotta make sure you don’t actually win the damn race. I think someone is helping him to make sure that doesn’t happen this time. Maybe Baron. He is into computers, after all

Boomers have bought Trump’s cards and now have no idea how to access them. A few are expecting them to show up in the mail.

Thing is, the joke's on us, since he seems to've netted $4.5m from these

Guess that means there's at least $4.5m worth of red-necked chumps out there.

The things are risible, so no idea why anyone would willingly pay noney for those laughable images.

Because, one other way of looking at this, is Trump just got $4.5 million in untraceable foreign money, (45,000 transactions are going to be a lot more work to trace than a single one)

I bet a lot of them bought 45 just so they could be in their messiah's presence for an evening.

Someone should photoshop their head on to a bunch of Trump’s least flattering photos and sell those as NFTs.

Maybe NY is looking too closely at all those Russians paying over the odds for Trump Tower suites.

Well that’s just it. There’s someone now looking over Trump Org and any transactions involving it
He’s gotta get paid for those empty ‘Top Secret’ folders somehow

Turns out the images they used for the NFTs still have remnants of watermarks on them, meaning the person who made them just googled for the images and edited out the watermarks as best they could (ie not very well) rather than actually paying for the copyright.
