- Former President Donald Trump used Truth Social to tease what he called a “BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.”
- Turns out he sells NFT “trading cards” with himself for $99 each.
- President Joe Biden mocked Trump by tweeting that he too has had some “BIG announcements.”
President Joe Biden scoffed at what his predecessor called a “BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!” on Thursday with one of his own, releasing a checklist of the administration’s latest achievements.
Shortly after Donald Trump announced he was selling NFT “trading cards” for $99 each, Biden tweeted: “I had some BIG announcements in the last couple of weeks too…”
He listed easing inflation, signing the Respect for Marriage Act, bringing home WNBA star Brittney Griner from Russian custody, lower gas prices and “10,000 new high-paying jobs in Arizona.”

It’s not the first time Biden has mocked Trump on Twitter.
On the day Trump announced his 2024 presidential bid, Biden tweeted a video of Trump talking about infrastructure reform – and about Biden signing the infrastructure legislation. “The difference between talking and delivering,” Biden tweeted.
He wrote “Donald Trump failed America” Biden also released another video that day criticizes Trump on jobs, health care, the economy and for “coddling extremists”.
Trump’s big announcement came a day after he teased it on Truth Social, leaving people to speculate whether he would announce a candidate in 2024.
Instead, the former president released a cartoon image of himself dressed as a superhero and announced on Truth Social that his “limited edition” digital trading card NFTs “feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!” He directed customers to a new website to buy the cards, explaining that they are “very much like a baseball card, but hopefully a lot more exciting.”
He introduces himself in a video on the website as “hopefully your favorite president of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington.” The “artwork” shown in the video depicts his likeness on Mount Rushmore, holding a torch near the Statue of Liberty, riding an elephant or shooting laser beams from his eyes as he rips open his shirt to reveal a superhero body.
Each card comes with a chance to win prizes, such as dinner with Trump or golf at one of his “beautiful” courses. “This is a great Christmas present,” he says.
