Thank you! I voted for him too (being in NY doesn’t explain anything) but I’m not buying into this. Hope all you guys who did make out great. Let me know in a couple years how much it increased……..

I get why this was done and it's a great idea... but.

He raised $4.5 million for campaign funds and people got a chance to be involved. Great, that's the American way. But if anyone who paid $99 for one of these thinks they are ever going to sell it for a profit that seems like a stretch. It's like donating $99 to a campaign, you are really getting nothing of real monetary value in return.

I voted for Trump twice and would again if he wins the spot, but I agree this is just goofy. I thought it was to raise campaign funds but according to Wolfdog's article this is going directly to Trump. When said the other day he had a big announcement I was hoping for something better than digital Trump baseball cards, lol.

I mean can you really be mad at the guy. I'll tell one reason I like the guy is he's a pretty cut throat business man. Seen some reviews of peoel did his trump university thing and the guy knows how to make money......not really in a touchy feely way but it works. Honestly he probably saw he had a pretty rabid fan/vote base who would like to support him but they don't just like giving money sooooo.
And honestly his NTF's are dirt cheap compared to alot of them.
There where probably a lot of people buying them with the thoughts of their sticking to to the libtards lol. Honestly though this isn't the first time . Political NFT's / crypto was Thing

It's been fun watching folks move the goalposts on what it takes to qualify as having TDS over the last few years.

First you had to be absolutely rabid- really get riled up at just a mention of the guy.

Now all it takes is thinking that Trump trading cards in the form of NFTs are a ludicrous idea.

Trump announced the launch of his NFT collection on Truth Social on Thursday, stating that they would “make a great Christmas gift.” He added that “they will be gone, I believe, very quickly.”

He was right.

As mentioned above they are currently trading at much higher prices. The floor price, which is the lowest price in a collection, is 0.19 ETH or $226 dollars, more than double the original $99 it sold for. Some cards are selling for much higher prices, with one card at around $24,000.

So, tell me why you consider this a con?

Was anybody tricked into buying these through flase staments?

Was anybody forced to buy?

Explain it to me like I'm stupid because I really don't understand how this is a con.


Eh...wot?

Honestly I was just playing.. well kind of I bet you could sell them now for a profit to some of the Trump fan boys.

I can say they have zero appeal to me.

He didn't accuse you of having TDS because you think it's a ludicrous idea, I think it is too. He thinks you have TDS because you claim it is a con.

Please explain why you think it is a con.


Eh...wot?

Trump university, steaks, deodorant, vodka, social media stock and now this. Don't forget his legal defense fund.

But he loves America. Suckers.

It's a con in the same way that all NFTs are a con. The most prestigious of NFTs, the "Bored Ape Yacht Club" is getting sued at the moment for using celebrities to promote exceptionally overpriced jpegs (https://www.theartnewspaper.com/202...ed-ape-yach-club-nft-lawsuit-celebrities). The cheapest NFT in the series was at one point valued at over 400k, but has since dropped 80% (https://decrypt.co/114158/bored-ape-yacht-club-nft-prices-fall-after-ftx-sinks-crypto-market).

There's a clear pattern to these schemes: high profile celebrities encourage people to spend money on funny images (that they do not own) that look like valuable assets until people realize what they really are and the price comes plummeting back to earth. At least with baseball cards, you actually have a physical card regardless of value.

If I had posted any of the above links a week ago, everyone in this thread would have (rightly so) laughed at the idiots who bought a picture of a monkey smoking a cigarette for $1,000,000+ and watched their "investment" vanish over the course of a few months. Now, photoshopped images of the former president in a superman outfit are going for 24k... Who's deranged?
