1. For Real? LOL! Grifter Gunna Grift

Good lord, can you imagine? This can't be real? Can it? I just don't know anymore...

[Walleye]

2. $99?. They will order these cards and complain about the economy at the same time

This seems kind of delusional to me. You’re gonna buy a digital trading card of this jerk for $99? I have to wonder if the artist has even been paid

[louis-t]

3. Aw man, I just ate......

and just got over the flu. Now this?

[chicoescuela]

4. What a delusional bastard

[relayerbob]

5. Surely, this is parody

Even the Onion couldn’t come up with something this absurd

[ornotna]

6. 🤡🤡🤡🤡 What a clown

[onethatcares]

7. magats gonna run that

credit card debt up for these for sure. Then they get the entire set on approval after the card is charged while they arrange return shipping with an approval.

[nolabear]

8. A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Oh god…this just gets better and better.

[Aristus]

9. "Hey, Lurlene! We ain't got no shoes, nothin' ta eat but raccoon, and th'rent is due!

But let's git ourselfs some Trump Tradin' Cards! Whoo-ee baby!"

[LakeArenal]

21. It's Christmas!!!Eff the rent!!! Who needs heat?

[Mz Pip]

10. Hah!

I knew there’d be money involved.

This is hysterical, even by Trump standards.

11. Grifter gonna grift.

12. It seems to be for real.

Go to https://www.collecttrumpcards.com/ and see - it's hilarious, in a horrible sort of way - unless that's a satire site, too. It's painfully amateurish, as if one of the Proud Boys, sitting in his mom's basement, had designed the site with an old version of iWeb, and it includes this exciting offer:

SWEEPSTAKEs BONUS
With Every Digital Collectible you Buy, You're entered into the Trump Sweepstakes.
1000’s of PRIZES! See below for some of them.
Win incredible prizes, including your chance to spend time with the President of the United States. For the first time ever, you can secure your own rare piece of Donald Trump’s history.

[Arkansas Granny]

13. When I first saw this I thought it must be "The Onion". Apparently, this is the big announcement.

Unbelievable.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

14. TDFG wished he looked that good.

What a clown.

[dweller]

15. WTFH

he really is like 7 yrs old, if that




✌🏻

[Caliman73]

41. I would say more like 11, maybe 12.

7 is still cute, at the stage where they are starting to know more, but they are still innocent enough to dance in the store without shame. Curious, but not over confident. I wouldn't tarnish 7 year old kids with a comparison to Trump.

11 and 12 is when kids can get really annoying. They have just had a bit of a cognitive leap so they think they know way more than they do. They start talking back, start caring more what their friends think, and can be little jerks. They are likely a bit more experienced than a 7 year old, but are still childish and now they are, as Key and Peele put it, "churlish and impudent".

[rurallib]

16. the only thing more pathetic than Trump is someone who

would buy this horseshit.

[thomski64]

17. ...not that I give a rat's ass..

...but what is a digital trading card? Is it
like crypto currency?

[emulatorloo]

26. NFT - Non-fungible token

You pay $99, you basically get a jpeg.

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

[moonshinegnomie]

27. pretty much

its a non fungible token (NFT). basically on teh blockchain (where the record of every bitcoin transaction is stored) there will be a nottin that you own teh digital card.

[emulatorloo]

37. A wonderful example of one of the 'cards'

It has been decades since Trump had that waist size. Dunno if he has a halloween costume like that or not.

[Chakaconcarne]

18. Let me guess... there are huge orders coming out of Russia and Saudi Arabia

[Mad_Machine76]

19. .........

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. Oh my goodness Trump's "major announcement" is even more pathetic than I anticipated

[onethatcares]

22. collect the entire set before they're gone

to prison or Russia.

Buy 4 and get charged 4 separate times, does not include shipping or handling.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. these trump nft cards are f*cking insane.

24. Cartoon character

[emulatorloo]

25. I had to visit the website, it is incredibly absurd. Pure cash grab. Of course.

If you buy $4500 worth of them you get a ticket to a “Trump Gala” in Florida.

I enjoyed the visit, looking forward to Wonkette’s review.

[moonshinegnomie]

28. the most important line from his ad

Trump Digital Trading Cards (NFTs) are intended as collectible items for individual enjoyment only, not for investment vehicles

[emulatorloo]

29. I liked the description of their "rarity"

Each Trump Digital Trading Card has a unique pre-assigned rarity. Some will be one-of-one’s (i.e. the only one in the world), while others will be limited to 2, 5, 7, or 10 copies. No Trump Digital Trading Card will have more than 20 copies in existence!

30. Eric likes the free stick of gum included with each pack

[fightforfreedom]

33. Lol. Good one.

[Prairie_Seagull]

31. Wait,,,what? Tell me this is satire, please.

An ex-president releasing playing cards is a "major announcement'. WTF.

[keep_left]

34. Are these based on NFTs or something? Why else would anyone spend $99 on a single card?

In addition, Ben Garrison should be suing over the "Trump fantasy physique" plagiarized from his ridiculous cartoons which show Trump as 30 years younger, 100 pounds lighter, and possessing chiseled superhero fitness.

Edit: Well, post #28 was made while I was typing. It looks like they are a combination of NFTs and limited releases (or one-offs) for a few of the cards. What a fucking grift!

[Rachel M at 6 pm]

35. The price is $99 for ONE digital card

This isn't $99 for a pack of physical cards. It's a single card that lives on your phone or computer, like an NFT

From the site: "BUY 45 Digital Trading CardS And YOU are GUARANTEED a TICKET to A dinner with the President"

I'm so glad he did this

Now his failed legacy will include this grift. History will laugh that much harder

[MissMillie]

36. Well, we knew better than to expect his health care plan (n/t)

38. Apologies to @hwinkler4real & whoever the creator of the original is.

39. each????????????

i think he blew a major marketing win here.
Say pack of 20 for 20 bucks....viable stocking stuffer for your trumper.
print up a variety so the trumpers would buy multiple sets to get a complete set.
like baseball cards...create a market for the rare ones.

instead of candy at parades hand out trump cards.
at your county fair both hand out trump cards

Issue special event limited edition cards.....

Really a cool idea. Lucky for us his greed is stronger than his marketing

[Ocelot II]

40. These are digital, so there are no printing costs involved.

There are almost no costs to him at all for this project (he can't have paid much for that cheap-ass website and the cheesy photoshop jobs). Physical cards would cut into his profit.

[dembotoz]

46. opportunity lost

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

42. I think we are safe to say...

we're done with this fucker now.

44. It's weird that when Trumpers Photoshop him

he winds up thinner and more physically fit but none of 'em ever bother to swap out the moth-eaten prairie dog hide on top of his head for something less ludicrous.

[GreenWave]

45. No rotten bubble gum included?

Trump for Mickey Mantle. Remember: No steal, no deal.

[H2O Man]

49. +1

[MuseRider]

47. Makes me recall the Terrorist Trading Cards.

Remember that from the last dumb ass Bush**? I would say that these are more colorful and much much dumber but the terrorist part is awfully similar.

[H2O Man]

48. Fucking pathetic.
