Melania with a whole new bunch of NFT offerings for sale, including “iconic” “patriotic-themed collectibles” from Trump this time. The grift goes on as they continue to seek new ways to cash in on the post-presidency.

Trump might very well be broke and or Melania is putting together her "traveling funds."

BTW send a Trump real money now and they will reserve your product using "blockchain" and
something to do with crypto.

Franklin Mint, Hummel figurines).

The Melania ones are better though because they won't clutter up your attic or garage.

I don't know a single person who would celebrate that. But, here's a hint for Melancholia - try this again once the hateful beast is dead. You'll be more successful with the number of people who will celebrate that.

All starting with “air” — ( at least the printable ones: the old gent could be pretty salty) —

This type of business is really a Luftgeschaft— an “air business” — no investment capital needed
The type of money involved is Luftgelt — “air money”

There was a certain fellow he used to call a Luftmensch, an “air man,” someone whose head was full of schemes that came to nothing. The Trumps really are not Luftmenschen — they are very accomplished grifters and crooks.

I keep trying to wrap my mind around NFTs and Bitcoins, and it all seems to be just another gigantic Trump scam, this one built on a castle in the air.

How on Earth can anyone fall for this crap? — possibly because their own feet are not on the ground.
