Polygon-Driven ‘Trump NFTs’ Are the ‘$BAYC of the Bull Cycle’, Says Crypto Influencer

A crypto influencer, who claims to have made millions of dollars in crypto, says the value of the highly successful NFT collection “Trump Digital Trading Cards” could go much higher in the future.

The collection, which contains 45,000 unique images of former US President Donald Trump, was launched in December 2022. Trump talked about these NFTs during an interview on the One America News (OAN) show “Weekly Briefing With Chanel Rion”.

Trump said:

“Well, I didn’t know anything about them, and then a group came along. And I loved the art. They showed me the art … it’s comic book art when you think about it, but they showed me the art, and I said I always wanted to have a 38-inch waist, but I look at these things, and I’m like, ‘that is a bit sweet, which might sell.’

“They thought it would sell in six months; it sold in six hours. And that set a record, I understand. It has been incredible. You know, if you bought a card for $99, I’m guessing it’s much, much higher than that. And I heard the Wall Street Journal or somebody say it was the investment of the year.

“I was criticized, really criticized, when it was announced… I didn’t see it as [an] investment…I thought they were cute. I mean for $99 you get these visions that are very beautiful and interesting, I think. And I looked at it that way, much more than as an NFT, but the NFT was really hot two or three years ago, and then it cooled off…

“So when they announced that it’s NFT, everyone was like, ‘what’s he doing that for? It’s so cold. And I did that, and I guess it was one of the most successful, maybe the most successful, but it was certainly in terms of speed. It all sold out almost immediately. Pretty amazing!“
