What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

So when you say NFTs...is there no actual card?

Maybe they will release the cards so you can play Magic, the Trumpeting.

Serious question. I'm old. I have no idea what this is

This is the definition of a NFT.

But I have no idea if this is what Tump has launched or if there are real trading cards, I have not followed the story.

I think the "digital" part suggests there is not. You get your very own .jpg - or maybe a .png if you pay premium money.

Do we have any Trumpists here? Maybe they can buy one, so we can see.

I'd stop there.  You've already maximized your understanding of the phenomenon.

I watched the actual announcement video.  The on-screen graphics do say "NFT", even if Trump does not use those letters.

I very much doubt that Trump even knows what an NFT is.  He pretty clearly thinks that they are physical cards, "very much like a baseball card."

So I don't seem to understand everything, but the Trump NFTs (and again confirms they are NFTs) sold out in one day, but for only about one million, which seems like a really low-end grift for Trump.

But then it mentions a wallet which gets royalties from secondary sales of the NFTs, which I didn't know could be a thing, but I guess explains the matter.

He does in this video maybe a later one

He sounds desperate.

And you know - the images are just so, so, so bad.  They're all just bad photoshops.

The thing is - Trump has had a very interesting life.  If you actually did a series of NFTs about his actual life, it would be, well, interesting.  Imagine - you could own the moment when Trump danced at Studio 54!  When he released The Art of the Deal!  When he helped create The Apprentice!  When he came down that Golden Elevator!  (it's actually pretty hard to think of moments that aren't cringe-worthy).  I mean I sure as hell wouldn't buy them, but at least they'd be based on reality.

But no - instead lets get some lazy photo-shop of Trump as a cowboy or superhero.

He knows the insane rubes that follow him will throw their money at him regardless, and from what I heard they already have, so *shrug*

I think it's more likely money laundering rather than fans, but maybe there are a couple.

Sort of like the Saudis just happening to spend tons of money at his hotels?
