Trump is now selling his own superhero NFTs
See what people put up with to stay relevant. One way to do that, in today’s society, is to get on the technology bandwagon, like the so-called NFTs.
If you’ve ever thought about spending some time off at an elegant resort and National Historic Landmark in Palm Beach, Florida and having a tete-a-tete with a former President of the United States, now’s your chance.
But first you need to buy an NFT at $99. What kind of NFT, you might ask? A Donald Trump NFT!
Now, wait a minute. Isn’t this the same guy who said Bitcoin is a scam? Yes that’s him.

Former US President Donald Trump, who once had a low opinion of cryptocurrencies and described them as potentially “a disaster waiting to happen”, made what he called an “important announcement” on Thursday.
“Hey everybody, this is Donald Trump, hopefully your favorite president of all time,” the former US commander in chief said in a promotional video.
“Better than Lincoln, better than Washington, with an important announcement,” it added.
Trump Superhero NFTs unveiled on their own social app
Trump took to his Truth Social app this week to tease the launch of NFTs showing the real estate mogul in various outfits and weird fantasy scenarios, like a Trump-branded “Superman” suit while unleashing a deadly heat beam from his eyes.
To attend a “gala dinner” with Trump in Florida, just buy 45 Trump Digital Trading Cards and they are “guaranteed” a seat. However, the website for the initiative makes it clear that winners are responsible for their own transport and housing costs (what a horror).
“Here’s one of the best parts,” Trump says in the promo. Each NFT card comes with an automatic chance to win amazing prizes, “like dinner with me!”
Some may wonder what the theme will be during the dinner:
Ask the former Oval Office tenant if he thinks Boris Johnson’s hairstyle is hipper than his?
Or, if it would have been more appropriate to be portrayed as Deadpool in his NFT campaign? (Wasn’t this all just a joke? No?)

About jokes, NFTs and crypto destroying the world
Seriously now.
Trump can’t be that broke to be shilling NFTs. No. We may have an idea of what they are for. And he is taking another crack at the presidency. NFTs are a great way to entertain the masses and he has his own social app to sell the drama. Go figure.
So this guy with the white pompadour said he doesn’t think “we should have all the Bitcoins in the world out there” and that “the currency should be the dollar” shouldn’t be taken seriously now, should it?
People change their minds and that is his right.
Meanwhile, Trump says his NFTs “make a great gift this Christmas” and that he accepts credit card payments and Ethereum.
Crypto is a scam and a disaster waiting to happen.
Yeah sure.
