freitasm:  ... It's just another grift - NFT "cards" CollectTrumpCards | Donald Trump Digital Trading Card NFTs

 

Visit this website - it's beyond satire!

 

It's so bad that it's (almost) good.

 

I dare you!  🤔🤔🤔🤔

 

According to the legalese at the bottom of that web page.

 

NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.

 

Mmmmmm So supposedly ?????? he doesn't get a dime.

 

AND YET

 

"MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here!"

 

This all sounds like a Super PAC.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

There's no way Trump would let anyone use his name/likeness/whatever unless there's a cut in it for him. He would sue them until the cows came home otherwise.

Some supporters aren't exactly lapping it up like he expected, though.

I guess for Trump, it both strokes his fragile ego, and earns him cash without no effort.

What is this NFT's target audience?

The only way a typical Republican would buy an NFT would be a pathetic attempt look " hip and cool", or perhaps gift to some disappointed child.

The United States actually has a pretty low NFT ownership percentage, not in the top 10.

Global NFT adoption by country/

What is so refreshing about this is how vividly it demonstrates his complete and total lack of any grip on reality. He seems to have fully descended into his megalomanic narcism cave. At best this nonsense will reap a handful of pity sales. Trump is destined for a sad and pathetic old(er) age.

In an apparent jibe at Trump, Joe Biden has also made some "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS" on Twitter:

Wonder how long until Elon bans him from Twitter, too? He banned a few reporters from (mostly left-wing/liberal) news outlets this week. But Nazis, white supremacists and anti-semites? No problem whatsoever. All in the name of "free speech" 🙄

Ridiculous.

 

I guess there is truth in the old saying, "a fool and his money are soon parted".

 

Imagine getting this bs for a Christmas present.
