Easiest way to funnel foreign money into his own pockets, eh?

I heard, I think on Pod Save America, that they have to be purchased using crypto. There is no doubt in my mind that it's a money-laundering scheme.

Trump himself is one big money laundering scheme.

I had three thoughts:

1. This can’t be real. Is this a deep fake?

2. Oh this is real. He must really need money.

3. I wonder if SNL could work this into a skit, but instead of a skit they just play this exact video and just put a laugh track over it.

Of course he needs money, didn’t the RNC finally quit paying his legal bills?

Omg. I didn’t really understand that they are DIGITAL. Online only. Nothing tangible people can have in their home.

That’s even funnier. 45,000 fools bought this shit.

I can’t…. 😂😂😂

Yep, and he made $4.45 million from them. A fool separated from his money, indeed.

If I didn’t have a moral compass, I could’ve gone into rainmaking. 4.5 million is a bananas amount of money

I actually think it’s more likely this was mostly some kind of money laundering scheme, not all individual buyers.

Yes, you may very well be right.  Probably are right!

But I also do think there are at least 45,000 people dumb enough to buy this shit.  Sadly he still has a LOT of supporters. 

[aspentosh]

BARF. Seriously.

Yeah, buying one of these doesn't seem nearly as dumb as voting for him, and look how many people did that.

So. Many. Fools.

So CLEARLY I am not defending this and yes, I believe it is on many levels a money grab/possible laundering situation.

However these are NFTs which are by definition digital, and the vast majority of NFT vendors only take cyber currency. Those facts alone, are not more suspicious or ridiculous than all of the other NFT trades that happen daily. (Which can be described as both)

[isabel]

Mostly I am just amazed that I can still continue to be surprised by his bullshit. I looked for several legit sources before I could let myself believe this wasn't satire.

[livinitup]

Be prepare to be shocked folks. Trump stole the images on the NFT cards.

That took ONE day to uncover? There are no words.

But why settle for a regular grift when he could have an ultra nefarious conspiracy grift? /s

Me too. When I saw the clip of these cards, I went down a hole, because I thought it had to be from The Onion.

He has truly jumped the shark.

From a CNN article:

It’s not clear how much Trump himself will take from those profits. The Trump Card Collection site includes a disclosure that says the Trump collection is “not owned, managed or controlled” by Trump or his companies and instead his likeness was licensed to “NFT INT LLC.” The LLC has no website and lists its address at a mall in Park City, Utah, next to an Asian restaurant and vape store.

Scam upon scam upon scam.
