For maybe the first time, TFG has done something so dumb even his supporters think it's stupid. For instance, there are the people on the subreddit r/dwac_stock who are all into buying stock in truth social.

Trademark/Copyright suits incoming...
Trump’s Badly Photoshopped NFTs Appear to Use Photos From Small Clothing Brands

The images were so lazy that based on reverse image searches they were edited photos scraped off the internet. It’s unclear if they were edited by hand or perhaps crafted using AI image generation, though the one image of Trump in hunter garb bears a very distinct resemblance to waders crafted by Banded, a hunting apparel company.
Trump’s cowboy outfit appears to match a leather duster made by Scully Sportswear, a California-based costume and western garb shop.



eta: To get 45,000 unique images, they are almost certainly scraping web pages with an AI art tool and inserting him into random manly shit.

Newsflash: Trump's NFT's are officially sold out!

The only way they sold out is if he canceled it because it was so embarrassing. Are they on a block chain where it can be seen they were all transferred to one entity or something? No news about that I can find yet but it is very early in the morning.

The website says they are on the Polygon Blockchain.

I think it's more likely to be pure and simple money laundering to get around gift or campaign finance laws.
Additionally, with the tax fraud convictions, the corporations -- there are hundreds -- will likely be under continuous internal scrutiny by a court-appointed monitor. The sort of shenanigans involved in this will be harder to get away with, I think.

Gotta make hay grift while before the sun shines!

My guess is that Trump took notice of the news surrounding FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried. The words "grift", "crypto" and "billions of dollars" trickled through the thick walls of his skull, an errant neuron fired and established an association with himself. Then he angrily yelled something about Barron's computer and Eric figured that meant doing something with NTFs.

I mean, seriously, does anyone here really believe Trump actually knows how NFTs are supposed to work? I don't think this drooling idiot understands the grift he's doing this time.

ETA: he's calling them "trading cards", FFS. Like the cards kids are trading between classes at school.

He doesn't know, or care. This particular enterprise is almost certainly being run soup to nuts by a Trumper who's a dedicated cryptobro and Trump isn't even remotely interested in the details except for the end where the real money appears in his actual bank account.

That WILL be the one thing that's different about this thing versus every other NFT scam - Trump is absolutely not HODLing. Any crypto he gets for these things, is guaranteed getting cashed out almost immediately. Trump is an idiot but he definitely wants real money, not Chuck-E-Cheese tokens.

He knows exactly how they work. People give him money and get nothing in return except bragging rights, hand waving, and meaningless letters and numbers. This is an idea he is intimately familiar with and yugely experienced with their manipulation. He also knows how to explain in a way that will make it sound like the best of ideas to the targets so that they will not only take part but be happy about it until it is too late. The only difference between this and Trump University is that he is working with a different business partner and it is more entertaining.
