Trump announces NFT collectible cards
 

Just ... Wtf.... And at 99 dollars a pop, who the ****ing hell would buy these???

He was trying to get a walk-on in Clerks III but nobody told him it came out already.

Dude, if you ever gave me this as a gift our relationship would be over and that would be grounds for a divorce! ><

I'm not certain how many hotels and golf courses have been sold off and how the lawsuits are holding up, but it sure sounds like somebody wants more cash.

I thought that those NFT trading cards were a Steven Colbert joke, but I guess that they're the 'real deal' after all.

Awww you don't want to be the first to own the full collection? It's gonna be hyuuuuge.

:lol::lol::lol:

I can just hear his voice while reading this.

**** NFTs, sell like those hologram type cards, the ones that kinda/sorta animate when you tilt them, but do it with his hand motions.

This idea: Tell us that you're completely detached from regular people and that you think they are extremely gullible and easily led without saying so.

He/they think $99 per card is nothing? Esp right now after the economy has been crappy and now people are racking up the debt for the holidays. And act like buying 45 of them ($4,455!) is just a normal thing too? Way to restrict it to the rich. What people do with their money is on them, though if any not-rich fan of his is in so deep as to actually spend that for a chance to meet their idol, that's as gross as mega churches and the tv evangelists trying to convince poor people to hand over what little money they have.

However, scrolling that page IS frigging hilarious. I needed the laugh lately.

The "art" just kills me that it's that sort of fan art people were making during his term, the stuff where they turn him into a completely fictional caricature (with a different body type no less) in order to make him cooler.

Dear god I love that part. I totally remember when he was a comic book superhero, a cowboy, a jet pilot, an astronaut... Remember guys?

Elon Musk and Kanye probably bought 95% of it. :tlol:


edit: Since they were accepting crypto... that could have gone very wrong for them over night if this was released just before that big crypto company collapsed due to fraud and suddenly became useless. lol


Omg. :lol: If it cost like 25 cents I might even buy one.

Trump already killing the 2024 for republicans election in slow motion. It's going to be a long 2 years and an even longer 4 years after that.

I can't see De Santis losing at this point (if he runs). The Republicans need to cut this clown off. Do they even need to accept his nomination to run.

But these cards, I kind of wish 1987 and Mmmzcaps were still here to watch them defend this grift.

you got trolled, folks :)

the REAL announcement

of course, no one is covering this. npcs

Plenty of women and gay people vote and he has few fans in either camp.

I agree he looks like he's being groomed (snerk) for the role but he's far from a slam dunk. Republicans are gonna have a hard time presenting any candidate who isn't a dumpster fire, considering how aligned the entire party is with Trump in peoples' minds, and how even in his absence it seems like the party is like, "Let's just triple-down on bigotry and homophobia and religious extremism!" since, y'know, as usual they don't have any actual platform or policies or anything. Their base loves that sh*t, but people who can read generally do not, so they're kinda screwed.

When "We REALLY Need to try and keep the racists and homophobes happy!" becomes paramount to your "success", it's time to consider that you MAY have collectively sh*t the bed and that it's time to try some new strategies.

I mean, it's pretty much only Bible-thumpers who vote Republican anymore, and more and more people become Atheists every single day, so they're gonna HAVE to try and shift gears at some point or else their entire base is just gonna die off. You can't try and make religious nuts your base when most of the people out there walking around know the stuff is all make-believe.

I can easily create Trump trading cards via one of those free Pokemon/MTG custom card makers online and give them away for free.

Yeah, it's clear that Trump isn't digging in on his belief for Blockchain here. Pure cash grab using his "Brand".

It's the fact that they are NFT's that netted results. If these were "Trump Cards" sold in packs or wax boxes they'd have languished.

I agree, however, the left continuing to get crazy and more emboldened, as well as turning violently against their own whenever one of them disagrees with the narrative, it does throw several people to vote in the other direction.

There's been quite a bit of videos popping up recently about 'why I left the left'. All of them are gonna vote red, and they're men and women of all races, genders and sexualities. I mean all a trans person has to do is question whether or not transwomen should be in sports and suddenly they're a Nazi and her own community wants her dead.

While one side, the right is full of racists and bigots, on the other side I feel the left is getting to the point of 'we can do and say whatever we want and get away with it because hey, at least we're not racists and bigots. We can wish for all unvaccinated to get lined up and gunned down, we can wish for all Republicans in our family to ****ing die, and we can have kids questions their gender and sexuality before they even learn to stop eating play-doh, but it's all good cause we're not racists and bigots."

Honestly, the left is bolder and the right is full of pussies. I rather have a Republican in the lead (just hear me out here) because if they get too crazy the left can and will push back. But if the left is in charge and gets too crazy, the right just complain online but pretty much bend over and take it. Literally none of this vaccine mandate crap from the last 2 years would have happened if Trump was president because half the country would refuse to obey and enforce them. There wouldn't have been any firings over it. If anything there would have been BLM-style riots over it, but they would just allow it, cause they're sticking it to Trump.


I do admit though, the Roe V Wade thing will forever be a huge scarlet letter against the Republicans and if they lose in 24 it will be 80% because of that and 20% of whatever Trump stupid thing does between now and then.

Have to admit I laughed at this…

the 'one side is full of racists and bigots' just got disporved here by how the left reacts to anyone who instantly disagrees with them. seems like the left side is the one with the problem :). Remember, The republicans ended slavery while the democrats supported it :).

and yes, I'm aware snopes says the image isn't entirely accurate...but pretty darn close.

lol But what fun is that, may as well make a few bucks by selling them on eBay with a small "not official Trump card" disclaimer at the bottom of the details that they won't bother reading.

And remember that the aims and ideals of the Republican party back then are roughly where the Democrats are today, and vice versa. Whichever stick you throw at it, the more left wing party at the time was more liberal than the other and against slavery. Republicans, liberal, oh that's gonna sting in a sentence :lol:

Makes me wonder if in a few decades the left will be the racists and bigots (even more than they already are, whether they admit it or not) and the right will be woke and insane.

Well you know what the say, it all goes on who screams the loudest.

The leftist woke weirdoes with their crazy ideologies speak the loudest so it makes them look like all of them are like that.

The racist bigoted MAGA morons scream the loudest so it does make all of the right look like that.

I mean c'mon, you know the average joe if you either support the right, or even if you're centrist or apolitical and don't support the left, that automatically makes you a Trump supporter and a Nazi.

Ah yes, "Republicans ended slavery" so wtf happened to them in more recent times? Why must people have to reach back into history in order to defend them.

Though of course there is also a catch, that people seem to sweep under the rug because it's inconvenient.

Where did those slavery-ending republicans live, huh? Oh, that's right... the north. Are people out there believing that those virtuous republicans would then pack up and move them and their descendants to the southern states? And the dems likewise did the same, moving north? Because that didn't happen. What happened is a shift in party affiliation... Same people, different political name. The people who were against ending slavery were in the south. They're still in the south. Party names don't end things like slavery, people do. The name changed, the people didn't. So republicans ending it is a weak argument at best, either way it was those in the north, where much of their descendants still live and still disagree with racist BS rather than screaming about SJWs every time the subject comes up.


Anyway... this is supposed to be about Trump throwing all his trump cards on the table and if you love him enough you're supposed to skip buying gas and groceries, and Timmy's new bike from Santa, and happily own a jpg of fan art that will one day gets lost when your computer craps the bed/desk/table/lap.

I still can't imagine anyone being that dumb (or rich) enough to spend 99 bucks on that nonsense.

I can't imagine if someone just said 'Oh I didn't buy you (whatever you wanted for Christmas), I got you something better!' and I just show you the image of some fan-art off my phone. "Cost me nearly a hundred dollars. Pretty cool huh?"

Whoever does that honestly deserves to have their SO pack up and leave and take the kids.

:lol::tlol: Yeah, that would have to be a relationship on its way to ending anyhow, so what do they have to lose. Maybe it's a coward's way to break up.

Oh to be a fly on the wall if that really happens somewhere this Christmas, even just once.

And then drop dead, your little fuzzy fly body barely making a sound upon hitting the hardwood floor, because your little fly heart just couldn't take the absurdity and hilarity of the moment. Laying there, little feet up and destined for burial by vacuum one of these days, but it was worth it.

And if there aren’t kids, make some up and take them. Seriously! :lol: :lol: Yeah. I still wonder if 1987 would jump in on that and buy some. That Superhero Trump one is probably the rarest since it looks the most epic and would probably require a lot of purchases to get it. lol

If I ever want to get a girl to stop chasing me, I swear I'll deck the house with American flags, pics of Trump and a big sign saying 'Trump actually won the election'.

She'll be running out in no time.

And then I'd take them all down before everyone in the neighborhood burns my house down and they put me on the No Fly List.

So let's really simplify. There's extremists on both sides, but at least most Liberals, even at their most idiotic, do actually have their hearts in the right place. They don't ACTIVELY want to make life worse for anyone, it's just a common side effect of their well-intentioned idiocy. Republicans, meanwhile, are very outspoken about how much they want to make life more difficult for various groups of people, and they claim it's because "God told them to make life worse for Those People". Intentions matter as much as actions do, and people need to be held accountable whether they're actively doing harm or passively. But I'd argue that actively doing harm is worse, because that suggests "We know this action will make life worse for certain people, we simply don't care."

Basically, Liberal Extremists are "merely" crazy and shortsighted while Conservative Extremists are Actually Evil. One side does harm through short-sighted policies they THINK will actually help people, the other just says "F*ck those people, they're gay/women/non-white/not here legally, so they deserve to suffer." Once more, the intentions matter.

And yes, being a racist bigot is a lot worse than any of the dumb sh*t the far-left Libtards put over, I don't see how that's even a conversation. There's admittedly worse things than hating an entire group of people because they're a different race or sexual orientation, but... not many. But the fact that so many of them say stuff like "It's just my beliefs/opinion, man" is even more slimy, because like, those aren't acceptable "beliefs" or "opinions" to have. "I shouldn't have to serve black people in my restaurant, I shouldn't have to bake a cake for gay people... 'my beliefs', wah wah wah." It's just How To Admit You're An Awful Piece Of Sh*t Without Saying Those Exact Words, is all it is. And they say it while acting so pious and high-and-mighty, on top of it. It's sickening.

I'd prefer not to engage with either flavor of political extremists but when you're talking about Crazy vs. Evil then Crazy wins on points every single time. Because they may be crazy and ignorant, but at least they're not Actually Evil.

I bet he might of if he got to it in time. Bigger chance he's mad that he missed out. lol

Hey Jups, I'll trade you two of my Astronaut Trumps cards for your Cowboy Trump card.

Only if you pay for the digital shipping and handling.

Awesome. Now all I'll need is the Breakdancing Trump card and the Dabbing Trump card and I'll have the full set!!

I heard that the price on those things actually went up or were sold out or something. Mind-boggling, but here's what I really think. It's like book sales. Publishers buy a lot of copies to make it seem like they sold more than what they did in some cases. What if this is the case here? What if they're saying that they sold them out when in actuality, they didn't, hence driving up prices to fake their rarity and value?
Actually, there are three Breakdancing Trump cards. One where he's posing on the cardboard, one where he's spinning on his head, and the other where he's pop-locking. I hear it's a triple set. Oh and there's also the SSJ Trump card for the anime fans out there. I'm missing the Kamehameha Trump Card, the Masenko Card, and the Genki Dama card. Triple sets. He's got the right idea!

I swear, that one with Trump carrying the big Boom Box and the Sombrero Trump card that are coming out for the second set are gonna be hyuuuuuge.

I know cards, I have the best cards.

He knows anime too and that Dragon Ball is all the rage! But man, the Boom Box card is a must have! Sombrero Trump, nah...you can keep that one. I don't think that would be as cool as Boom Box Trump. Now if we get Magic the Gathering Trump cards (I hear the title of that future set is still pending), then we'd be all set. We could digitally play.

Don't forget the Fortnite Trump cards, he loves building walls in that game, doncha know.

That's what I want to see. Trump the brick layer. Grab em by the pussy Trump. Awkward bible holding Trump.

Revive the old Garbage Pail Kids series?:lol:

It's not the shameless grifting, it's the fact that NFTs are a last years grift everyone got over.

****. I'm missing Awkward Bible Holding Trump. I have a spare Trump Insulting Handicap Guy card, wanna trade?

What I'd quickly wondered as well, there's no telling how many "cards" were actually available. Or if rares even exist. They claim (in the FAQ) 45,000 (44k available on the site -- what about that last 1000?) but it's digital junk so that number isn't even real unless they actually issue that many? And with no physical card it would be far too easy to just claim they sold out to create an illusion of popularity?

Feels too much like a shell game, but a laughably obvious one. The fatal flaw of being as opportunistic as he is...being so easy to see through. lol

Boomers... always behind on the trends.
