Trump Fans Hoping To Win Dinner At Mar-A-Lago Will Have To Cover Their Own Travel Expenses

[Initech]

Buyers of newly released NFTs featuring former President Donald Trump will be entered to win a 20-minute meeting with him at Mar-a-Lago, but winners will have to cover their own travel and lodging expenses, according to the project's website.

Trump announced the digital trading cards — which feature images of the former president as a superhero, an astronaut, and a Top Gun-style pilot, among others — on Thursday after hyping up a "major announcement" the day before. The trading cards are being sold as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, for $99 each.

Although Trump in November announced his plans to run for president in 2024, money from the sale of the cards will not go to Trump's campaign, according to the website. The company behind the cards is not owned by Trump but uses his likeness and image under a paid license.

Purchasers of the card will also automatically be entered into a sweepstakes for a "chance to win 1000's of incredible prizes and meet the one and only #45!" though a purchase of a card is not required to enter the contest. According to the fine print, the prizes include 2,533 NFTs, totaling an approximate value of $54,695.

ROFLMAO... this gets better and better. I totally expect him to be this cheap! I'm surprised he's not sticking his winners with the dinner bill on top of that!

give it time...

2. Never give a sucker an even break. If the dumb asses want to piss their money away fine let 'em.

Although I really doubt if many of those "things" were bought by real people and the vast majority of them
were "bought" in some kind of money laundering operation.

3. PT Barnum was 100 years ahead of his time!

He may have said there's a sucker born every minute, but he definitely never met the MAGA crowd. They spend a lot of money on a lot of really stupid shit, and they fall for scammers, hucksters and con artists 10 times out of 10!

9. Holy crap, this sounds like the worst contest prize ever!

11. And it only costs $4,500 for you to WIN!

Notice it makes sure not to say it’s AT Mar a lago.
I’m feeling a rented warehouse and cold fast food vibe.

14. Yeah I'm guessing you get the lukewarm Big Mac version of Trump.

And not the black tie burnt steak and ketchup version of Trump. And it would be freaking hilarious if people went to a warehouse in full tuxedos and dresses and he showed up in a white collard shirt and a MAGA hat.

"Winston had nothing to do with the running of the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (in- deed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being non-existent persons." (George Orwell's 1984)

8. "Sorry, Lurlene! We on'y gots enough juice inna truck ta git from East Nowheresville

ta West Nowheresville. Dang! I wuz hopin' fer a Big Mac with Trump, too..."

10. Then Trump will excuse himself and not return...

Sticking you with the check

12. I wonder if 1000's of prizes means more cards.

Right click, copy paste, here's your prize.
