Former President Donald Trump has launched a new series of digital trading cards featuring himself in various dramatic poses, including dancing and wearing costumes like a "sneakerhead" with golden shoes and an Iron Man-like suit. Priced at $99 each, these cards are part of the "America First" collection and come in 50 different designs.
Trump introduced the cards in a video, where he referred to himself as the "crypto-president," a moniker he claimed others have given him. Buyers who purchase 15 digital cards will receive a physical trading card with a piece of a suit he wore during a presidential debate, known colloquially as the “knock-out suit.” Trump also announced that he would randomly sign five of these physical cards.
The digital cards are intended to be a fundraising tool, adding a new element to Trump's ongoing efforts to raise money. Additionally, those who purchase 75 cards will be invited to a "gala dinner" at Trump’s country club in Jupiter, Florida.
The announcement has sparked significant reaction on social media, with many users questioning the intent behind the sale. Critics argue that Trump may be in urgent need of funds or are skeptical of the merchandise’s value. Some have commented that this new venture reflects poorly on Trump’s approach to fundraising, with one user expressing disbelief that Trump is selling trading cards amid his presidential campaign.
Journalists and commentators have also weighed in, with some highlighting the commercial nature of the trading cards and questioning whether they are genuinely intended to support Trump's political ambitions or his personal finances.
