There're either a lot of suckers or speculators or scalpers out there, it seems.

Trading cards in the guise of Crypto.

Remember the 1990's baseball card price collapse?  Most modern cards dropped 95% in value to those suckers who were stupid enough to buy into the hype.

Fast Forward to Trump's silly trading card event. 

Now add a Crypto angle to it?

Nothing could go wrong with that.   :cool:   :silly:

‘I Can’t Do This Anymore’: Steve Bannon Ridicules Trump’s NFT Announcement, Says Those Involved ‘Oughta Be Fired Today’
By Michael LucianoDec 15th, 2022, 6:37 pm


Steve Bannon is not taking kindly to former President Donald Trump’s self-described “major announcement” that he’s now selling non-fungible tokens.

Trump teased the move on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, saying in a video, “America needs a superhero.” The video shows an image of Trump wearing a superhero outfit underneath his suit and fire shooting out of his eyes.

On Thursday, Trump revealed his NFT collection, which drew widespread mockery and criticism – even from conservatives.

“Teasing NFT cards as a major announcement is not the kind of fight people want to see now,” one tweeted. “These are dark times. Love the guy but this turns many off.”

Later in the day Bannon – a former White House adviser to Trump – panned the development on his show War Room on the Right Side Broadcasting Network.

“I can’t do this anymore,” he said. “He’s one of the greatest presidents in history, but I gotta tell you: whoever–what business partner and anybody on the comms team and anybody at Mar-a-Lago – and I love the folks down there – but we’re at war. They oughta be fired today.”

Man was POTUS 45....   Win lose, or draw, you can't take that fact away from him or discount that.

But the same guy who was POTUS is now hawking Crypto based super hero cards?  That is beyond bizarre, and honestly pretty sad.

So much for leaving with the same dignity as Reagan.

I am guessing that he isn't worth quite as much as he is letting on.  Again, that's just a guess.

At least B.T. Barnham provided a public service with entrainment value to people despite being a world famous self-promotion.   Trump is just the worlds biggest grifter and should be in prison and bared from ever holding any office for the rest of his life.

They're trying to spin it as some sort of "head fake," and that his REAL announcement was Trump's campaign platform video released a few hours later after the backlash embarrassed him.

Nobody's buying that though.

I took him very seriously. The guy accomplished great things despite his many flaws. We now have a conservative majority court for the first time since FDR (I believe). And the establishment very much still views him as a threat. And he did all this in perhaps the most hostile media environment ever.

But any and all bad things you might wanna say about the guy are probably true as well so it's sort of a tragedy.

One day, when anyone who ever had an opinion on Trump is dead and buried they will make a true objective movie on the man and he will be recognized as a misunderstood but flawed genius IMO.

How sweet of you to worry about this.  But, could your concern be a bit premature?

Quote
People have learned how dangerous it is to show support for Trump. Once leftists have the federally required list of campaign donors, they dox them. That is, they try to shame individuals, get them fired, or force social isolation upon them. If a business has donated, activists urge people to boycott the business. This effectively dissuades people from exercising their First Amendment right to political speech via campaign donations.

By selling a product, Trump can get money without publicly revealing donors. Even though there are limits on how NFTs can be created and marketed, selling them is still easier than trying to raise campaign funds by moving mugs, t-shirts, and bumper stickers.

Some will point out that the NFT’s FAQs state explicitly that the monies received from the trading cards are not going to Trump or any campaign entity:

Quote
NO.  These Digital Trading Cards are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign. NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.

There is nothing to stop NFT INT LLC from donating a substantial portion of the money it makes to… Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

While I definitely don't agree with Trump's latest rants and antics, I still defend him as one of the greatest Presidents this country has seen.  Energy independence, renegotiated NAFTA, lowest unemployment in the history of this country including Blacks and Hispanics, Fair trade in lieu of free trade, respect around the globe, our borders were pretty secure, etc.  It is a stark contrast to the direction that Joe and the marxist have us heading.  So, go ahead and throw darts at this man, I'll take Trump over Joe any day.

This country is in trouble.  I do agree it is time for Trump to pass along the baton as I think the b.s. from the leftists and him watching this country take a nosedive after he had us above water is getting to him and him getting up in years is a concern.

Pray for a miracle, because we are imploding from within and on top of that millions are invading our country.

Excerpt.

Running the economics of the  math, $570,000 market cap divided by 15,000 units (3 coins per minted set- 45,000 NFTs) means those late to the game and stupid enough to buy..... paid as much almost $40,000 per set. 

I thought hard core Trump supporters were smarter than that. 

Considering the late breaking story of the biggest crypto scandal in crypto's short history, I'd say Trump's timing was immpecable.  /s  :silly:

It might be, it's about as dumb as dumb can be. Trump for all his great qualities and insight has a flaw in allowing people with questionable judgement and skill to gain his support. While Trump is selling NFT's DeSantis is seeking a Grand Jury to investigate the Wuhan Virus vaccines. It's not to hard to see which action is more Presidential.
