Pokemon, move over! Confidence man Donald Trump is taking some time from his busy schedule with federal prosecutors to announce that he's selling his own trading cards. Just $99 a pop! He modestly claims he's "better than Lincoln, better than Washington." Most ex-Presidents write books, but as I can attest, most of his base lacks basic reading skills.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Anxiously waiting for the memes
ReplyDeleteThe company who produced and sells the cards, NFT.INT. has provided a statement its company is not owned, managed, or controlled by Trump. Further, the funds do not go to any political campaign. Evidently, NFT.INT. purchased a license to use Trump’s Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) on a novelty product for sale to the public.
ReplyDeleteI was disappointed to learn of these cards, and believe this careless arrangement between people of his management team should lead to a few employment terminations. I doubt Trump was fully aware of the scope of all this, but he sure did promote the card’s release date. NOT a good look, and Trump will be criticized, nonetheless. He’s criticized for just about anything, so what’s new?
What a waste of energy, when will this disease be evisceraced.
ReplyDeleteA grifter's gotta grift!
ReplyDeleteReal Republicans, thus Real Americans have had it with trump. We know he is bad for the GOP and that he will only play into the democrats' hands if he continues his bogus and egotistical run.
ReplyDeleteThere are real men and women in the GOP that deserve a chance to demonstrate they care more about our country than they do themselves and that they will represent the people and not just themselves.

Penny stocks are a better investment. He preys on weak impulse. Invesr in yourself. Not this guy. Guilded dumbness.

ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing and cringe-worthy.
ReplyDeleteBernie, you won’t see too much activity denouncing Trump for this ridiculous and obvious grift because none of his cult members ever hold anyone accountable in their party.
Boy did twitter and the Fbi and the state department and the media lie about Trump because Trump was exposing them sad part people like you fell for there lies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke and how embarrassing
ReplyDeleteAnd 70+ million idiots voted for this grifting snake-oil con-man?
ReplyDeleteWhen do the Steve Lynch and Benji the RATriot NFT’s go on sale?
ReplyDeleteOh, and the guy the always ends his messages with, “UHURU!”…
When does his NFT go on sale?
Can't disagree. It's more elegant if former POTUSs take $2 million plus travel and expenses per 30 minute speech, like Obama. He's an elegant grifter. Copenhaaaaaagen, ISIL .... he always fumphered like a pro.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, posters quickly shoot off their mouths without knowing all the details. Trump does NOT receive proceeds from the sale of these cards!
ReplyDeleteWhere does it say he doesn’t receive any proceeds from the sale of the cards? Because we all know Trump doesn’t do anything of it doesn’t make him money.
DeleteOr does it say that the proceeds do not go into a political campaign? There’s a difference.
Reading comprehension is important.
Stop being a bootlicker and just admit you’ve been lied to and conned by this grifter and move on.
My only thought is OMG
ReplyDeleteFWIW, I voted for him, and I liked his policies, AND I read lots of books, the Bible, history, all 14 Mitford novels, stuff about gardening....Had not known anything at all about these trading cards, because I sort of ignore the television.
ReplyDeleteBought the whole set, gonna HODL to the moon maybe give as gifts to kiddos for life milestones
ReplyDeleteThink Sleepy would look good in a cape? Maybe booty judge if he stuffed his cod piece-!
Uhuru!
There he is. Can I design your NFT?
DeleteI have ideas…
"Once again, posters quickly shoot off their mouths without knowing all the details. Trump does NOT receive proceeds from the sale of these cards!"
ReplyDeleteYeah, he does. He has a licensing deal and the money goes right into his pocket, sucker.
https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/15/us/politics/trump-nft-trading-cards-superhero.html
Yes, Bernie. I mentioned the licensing deal that was stuck before ANY cards were sold. Happens all the time. Some entrepreneurs succeed, some do not. That’s on them. Trump’s a businessman. He does licensing agreements all the time and has done so for many years.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the cards sold out in 12 hours! 45,000 @$99 each. How is this businessman any different than say, Michael Jordan, or even the recent high school football player NIL deal from Western Pennsylvania?
If you believe these cards were purchased by normal individuals and actually sold out, I have a bridge to sell you.
DeleteThe cards were never on a crypto blockchain so you don’t know what digital wallets they were sent to, so…
Something smells fishy. Perhaps some money laundering scheme, perhaps someone paid him for, I don’t know, secret files?
A digital piece of stale, pink gum comes with each purchase!
ReplyDeleteWait, there's more!

Love the Don and hate what Nasty Nancy and her cabal of satan worshiping squadron members have done to this great country if there isn’t. A fund to have his brain cryogenically preserved we should start now because the future needs him Greta Thunberg Al Gorr and the like want us to give up everything for a lie gen Z is unhinged not fit for reproductive purposes eugenics preserves good genes something 45 spoke on often, Uhuru!
ReplyDeleteTrump should have toilet paper made with his face on it so we can wipe it on his face after crapping!
ReplyDeleteCIC Ventures, the company making the cards, has the same address as Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. His "cabal" plot to relieve the idiots of their money gets better.
ReplyDeletePlot twist: NFT’s of Don Jr., Eric, Ivanka, Barron, Melania and Tiffany are $49.99
ReplyDeleteBarron’s NFT price just went down to $9.99 for making fun of Trumps trading cards.
DeleteI wouldn’t pay $0.01 for a trump trading card. Let’s get rid of this joker from our airwaves once and for all.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans will not win as anything until Trump is totally purged.
ReplyDeleteDidn't they just win control of the US house of representatives?
DeleteKeep the cards away from Dave Hopkins
