1. Shocked!!

It's like sending yourself flowers on Valentines Day...

13. She probably does that.

Or maybe just the stems and thorns.

2. Trashy lady... ugh

[Blue Owl]

3. The Non-Fungible Trollop

4. Not surprised she'd do this.

The NFT/crypto market needs some kind of regulation or protection.

5. A great way

to make suckers think your shit is worth something.

6. Once a grifter always a grifter.

It is in the Trump DNA!

[WHITT]

7. Gee

Wonder where she learned that?

8. Who is John Cooper? I'd like to see some confirmation of this assertion. n/t

Money That Won Melania Trump NFT Came From Melania Trump Wallet

The source of funds for the winning bid in Melania Trump’s first NFT auction appears to be the creators of the project themselves.

A series of blockchain transactions show that the cryptocurrency used to purchase Trump’s nonfungible token came from a wallet that belongs to the entity that originally listed the project for sale. The former first lady began an auction in January for a collection of NFTs on the Solana blockchain, with art from her first official state visit in 2018.

9. Like she cheated and lied on her Einstein Visa?

12. In the world we average folk live in, this is called "shill bidding." Ebay caught onto it pretty

early on, although I imagine some of it still goes on there if sellers have multiple personas and email accounts. In a brick and mortar auction you might encounter the auctioneer raising a bid by pointing at a phantom bidder in the back of the room. Melania most likely sees nothing wrong with it since it's pretty minor in her world of NFT grifting (to date).

14. She's got a new grift going.

Something to be honoring Presidents Day.

Coins, or something. Selling them. Again, NFT.

[Totally Tunsie]

15. She cheated and STILL settled for $65,000 under opening bid.

That's like buying a $1,000,000 house and flipping it for $750,000. Not going to make her fortune that way!

16. Ebay calls it schilling.
