I had difficulty not laughing when I saw the new Trump digital NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). I think he called them digital trading cards. What are they? I’m so glad you asked. They are digital images that you can buy for a mere $99 each. You can trade them, I suppose, on a digital NFT exchange. Who knows, the card you buy today may be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars tomorrow as the MAGAts fall all over themselves to own one. Or your Trump NFT may be worth even less tomorrow than the $99 you paid for it today. I’m going to bet on the latter, but we will see. It is possible that there are enough MAGA blockchain blockheads out there as there are aficionados of glitz that buy junk from the Franklin Mint.
The digital images that I saw online looked very photoshopped and cartoonish. They depict Trump as a super-hero, a Sheriff in a western duster, an astronaut, and so forth. One media item described them as cringe-worthy because they reveal this fool to be the pathetically needy person that we all know he is.
If these digital artifacts are meant to perpetrate yet another Trump grift, they more clearly represent an epic self-own.
