Of all the things I thought doofus was going to announce today, I didnt think it was going to be digital trading cards for $99 dressed in different costumes.
This is too much. I need to calm down. This is the hardest and loudest Ive laughed since Q nuts thought Keith Richards was JFK a little more than a year ago.

My question is has the man gone totally bat shit crazy or is he desperate for cash?
I thought he was sitting on a big pile of PAC money?

(63,912 posts)Even my Trumpy neighbor on Facebook gave up on him a while back. He then made a last stand on Hunter Biden's laptop. I've been expecting him to pop off again on the anniversary of Jan. 6, probably about the martyrdom of Ashley Babbit.
Honestly, I think the loonies have pushed him over the line. Was it MTG who talked about "Peach tree dishes"? Maybe that done him in...

The traitorous fuck has jumped the shark with this bit of idiocy. Surely this will cause even some of his most ardent supporters to shake their head.
And it's almost $100 bucks for a fucking DIGITAL copy?
Oh well, I guess he's doing us a favor by taking even more of their money so they don't have it to give to actual politicians that might win their next election.

(1,967 posts)Trump's ego is pathetic. He thinks we are so in love with him that we will pay $99 for a digital picture of him.
He must think he is more popular than the Beatles. More popular than God even.
EnergizedLib
(1,897 posts)If he paid me $99 for them.
ThoughtCriminal
(14,047 posts)Shockingly, I think this hurts that more than the criminal and civil cases pending against him. His base would always view those as political persecution. But that same base cannot escape the blinding and inescapable ridicule that will come from today's "Big Announcement".
Before today, I think they had to take the threat of Trump forming a 3rd party or running as an independent seriously. He could have pulled 15-30% of their most loyal base away.
But the complete embarrassment of today's stunt drains any chance of him being a credible candidate again. If he's still around in 2024, I doubt he will win any GOP primaries or pull even low single-digits in the General Election as an independent. It's just a question of what excuse he will use when he quits.

(6,544 posts)For a mere $99, I will be selling digital trading cards of my cats, accompanied by a "NFP" (non-fungible poop). They will be the best trading cards EVER!!! Buy them now for a chance at a great drawing prize - an opportunity to feed and pet my cats for an entire day (all travel and cat food costs at your expense). BUY THEM NOW, they WILL run out (when the litter box is empty)

(13,776 posts)It's fun to see some people bailing and some people opining that this is just a prelude to actual big news (???). For some of them, being a Trump supporter has become their entire identity and they can't let it go, but some of them are realizing that the emperor really doesn't have any clothes. Highly recommended reading!
