Former U.S. President Donald Trump teased a ¡°major announcement¡± just weeks after declaring a third presidential run, leading political-watchers to speculate about big campaign moves. Instead, he¡¯s hawking digital trading cards with depictions such as his head atop cartoon super-hero figures in an NFT market that¡¯s already sagging.
Trump said on his Truth Social platform that the ¡°Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection,¡± can be collected like baseball cards and stored digitally. They cost $99 each and people who buy them are also entered into a sweepstakes for prizes including a golf outing with the former Republican president.
The digital cards are being offered by NFT INT, which says on its website that the cards are not connected to Trump¡¯s presidential campaign and that the company is not owned, managed or controlled by Trump, his company, or their affiliates. Trump gets paid under a license for use of his name and likeness, according to the website.
