Trump finally makes his 'major announcement' - and it has nothing to do with his campaign
Source: Independent UK
Donald Trump has revealed his major announcement, which the former president teased with great fanfare on Wednesday.
It turns out that Mr Trump is selling digital trading cards of himself.
My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting, Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Speculation over the former presidents announcement centred around his campaign, and whether Mr Trump would be revealing a 2024 running mate or other political moves.
Dont Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly! Mr Trump added on Truth Social.

(3,473 posts)1. Trump throwing a plate of ketchup-soaked food at the wall.
2. Trump being spanked with a rolled-up magazine by Stormy Daniels.
(granted, he might have to give her a cut, so probably not)
3. Trump winding up the SOTU address as Pelosi tears up her copy behind him.
(OK, same problem)
4. Trump changing the course of a hurricane with his Sharpie.
5. Trump sitting behind the wheel of a big rig acting like a little kid.
I'm sure there are plenty of other good ideas out there....

The media has egg all over their faces and they are and absolute disgrace for being so easily fished in in this.

(8,721 posts)He sent Trump $100 for a signed photo of Trump. (Looked stamped, not signed) and because he has a problem with me being a Dem - he insisted his (embarrassed wife) show me the photo. But you cant make this up - she had to show me a copy because the original was too valuable.

(11,594 posts)I am laughing so hard, but then I realize how perfect an idea this is for him. He loves to control and market his own image. I can only imagine how adulterated these 'limited edition' images of the goon will be to satisfy the body dysmorphic disorder he obviously struggles with (orange/bronze face tint, hair weave extensions and elaborate comb-over, long tie, shoe lifts, girdle, shoulder pads, baggy open suits, etc.) These trading cards will be heavily photo-shopped.

His lawyers have been shot down too many times and are too busy keeping him from being indicted and hoping to keep his witnesses from spilling to launch any more major lawsuits.

He'd be smart to release the whole deck for $100, and don't doubt that he will after this trading card cow quits giving milk.

A sample of the verbiage:
Each Digital Trading Card (NFT) is not only a rare collectible, it automatically enters YOU INTO A SWEEPSTAKES for a chance to win 1000s of incredible prizes and meet the one and only #45! There's no purchase necessary to enter!
*snip*
Win incredible prizes, including your chance to spend time with the President of the United States. For the first time ever, you can secure your own rare piece of Donald Trumps history.
*snip*
BUY 45 Digital Trading CardS And YOU are GUARANTEED a TICKET to A dinner with the President
-------------------
(Please note that he is referred to here as "the President." Not "the former president" or "the 45th president." For the purposes of this sweepstakes, he is THE PRESIDENT.
Sweepstakes prizes include such things as:
- Miami dinner with Donald Trump
- Mar-A-Lago group cocktail hour
- One-on-Meeting with #45
- Play golf with Trump & Your Friends
One wonders, of course, how many of these "prizes" will actually be awarded, much less "delivered."
It's also possible to enter the sweepstakes without purchasing anything, but the instructions for doing so involve snail mail and are absurdly complicated.
Whoever said he has outdone himself was so so SO right.
