Roger Stone, a longtime associate of Donald Trump, is auctioning off a copy of a 1990s magazine cover he says is signed by the former president as part of a larger fundraising campaign to pay for his legal defenses and medical bills.

“To Roger YOU ARE THE GREATEST!,” reads a Trump note in his distinct scrawl on the cover of a now-defunct trade publication: Real Estate New York. If the bid exceeds $20,000 dollars, the bidder gets the physical version of the magazine along with “one of only one” digital copy, which Stone marketed as an NFT, or a non-fungible token. NFT’s, which are essentially non-interchangeable digital tokens of a visual item, have shaken up the art world this past year with many being sold for millions. Former first lady Melania Trump recently announced that she too was entering the industry.

In an email, Stone said he believed Trump signed the magazine in 1999 and that it was “indeed real.” While Real Estate New York was a magazine, POLITICO was unable to confirm when or if Trump graced the cover.

As of mid-day Wednesday, there were zero bids for Stone’s item.

1. He should peel the skin with the Nixon tattoo off his back and see what he can get for that.

Stretch it, dry it, mount it.

It would be a truly one of a kind artifact.

3. I would bid $5 for a NFT (hope I'm using the term correctly -- first

I have enocuntered it) movie with sound of removing the Nixon tattoo.

5. Can I cut it off his back?

Please?

I have just the knife for the job. It's a 50-year old Bowie knife that has hung in a garage for all those years. It was used for cutting sod and it's dull and very rusty. Should be just right.

Please?

6. "...very, very sad."

Bulshit.

Here's what's sad: Stone is a traitor and a criminal and he's getting away with his nefarious acts. His actions are helping to threaten our democracy and government.

Here's what's funny: Stone has to liquidate his stuff in order to pay for his legal representatives covering his sorry ass for his crimes. I hope he has to sell everything he owns. If he isn't going to prison, I hope that he's bankrupted, at least.

7. What's even sadder is how little he's probably going to get for any of it ...

And by 'sad' of course I mean 'fucking hilarious'

8. May I just say, "Womp"

Also, "Womp."

11. No Cameo money for Roger?

[Generic Brad]

12. NFT's sound like a new money laundering tool

Art as cryptocurrency. Don't invest. Run away from it. Scammers will have a hey day with this.

13. Agreed, Melania made that grift obvious.

14. What is an NFT?

I'm sorry--I'm old

15. Non-fungible token

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger.[1] NFTs can be associated with reproducible digital files such as photos, videos, and audio. NFTs use a digital ledger to provide a public certificate of authenticity or proof of ownership, but do not restrict the sharing or copying of the underlying digital files. The lack of interchangeability (fungibility) distinguishes NFTs from blockchain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin.

NFTs have drawn criticism with respect to the energy cost and carbon footprint associated with validating blockchain transactions as well as their frequent use in art scams.[2][3] Further criticisms challenge the usefulness of establishing proof of ownership in an often extralegal unregulated market.[4]

16. Thanks

I still don't understand

[ARPad95]

19. Neither do I and I don't think I'll ever get to a point where I need to understand.

[canetoad]

20. I kind of understand

It's like trading in virtual cowrie shells.

17. A Nasty Fucking Trump autograph.
