The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is slamming former President Trump as a con artist, following reports that Trump is dining with donors who supported his mug shot digital trading cards.
Trump, who has the day off from court Wednesday, is expected to host a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida with donors who bought the Trump MugShot Edition non-fungible tokens (NFTs), according to Axios.
In a statement first provided to The Hill, the DNC called out Trump for other merchandise he has sold, including sneakers and Bibles. Donald Trump is nothing but a con artist who has ripped off the American people time and time again, and this election is no different: Trump has hawked bootleg sneakers, peddled his own Bible, and pushed NFTs, said Alex Floyd, DNC rapid response director.
As Trump continues to back a laughably out-of-touch MAGAnomics agenda that puts his ultra-wealthy friends ahead of hardworking families, Americans arent falling for the con job. Voters see right through Trumps never-ending grifting and will reject his extreme and unpopular brand at the ballot box in November, he added.
