About the ..."Trump Special Announcement" -- "Trading Cards"

[Stuart G]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Among "some" Trump supporters, this was the "Final Straw" in my opinion.

This was stupid, inconsiderate, foolish and a waste of everyone's time. Trump posed it as something
important, and it turns out to be an ad for his own special ..."Trading Cards." Of course, Donald Trump
thinks he can get away with ..."with anything at all." but the lead up to this announcement is a
sword in Trump's back for "some" people. Too foolish to ignore, and in the end a "Waste of Time."

...Since Trump is sure he can get away with..."Anything" he will never know how much this has
hurt his reputation. Trump did this as if it were something "special" and it was as special as last
years snow in upper Alaska. Donald Trump is much too stupid to know that this was "very stupid."
He used the media as a "joke" and media executives will never forget it.

...Some Trump supporters will see Trump as a ..."Fool" for the very first time.
Those supporters stuck with him through thick and thin and they expected some kind of ..."Special Announcement."
It was just another ..."Con Job."
....But for some of Trump supporters, it was the last .."Con Job." that he will ever pull on them.

...For the above to happen, this will take .."TIME" Family members will talk to each other about this and some
people will be convinced that Trump is a ... "Total Fool" for the very first time.

Why? Because those family members expected ..."A Special Announcement." not another ..."Con Job" And, of course, Donald Trump doesn't have a clue at all. Trump has conned some of his strongest supporters for the very last time.

1. He forgot to include the Super ConMan card

2. "He used the media as a "joke" and media executives will never forget it."

We'll see.
The media is a joke.
They are like a bunch of guppies going after every shiny object.. They are as pathetic as he is.

4. Some "media executives" will figure it out because they are "smart enough to figure things out."

..And they will never forget the abuse that Trump pulled on them, with his "Special Announcement."
...For those "media executives" it was also the .."Last Straw."

7. I hope you are right.

3. Or, they will believe he is super strong and fit and worthy of them voting twice

or more at great personal risk.

5. Unlike yard signs, flags, and tee shirts....

...these cards are not displayed to "own the libs" and are therefore worthless. His fans are idiots, but they aren't 14 year old idiots that have meetings to admire and swap cards. Showing off a stack of hundred dollar bills is much more impressive. Expect huge discounts soon.

What's more, if they're like a baseball card they'll be easy to counterfeit and will end up at those weekend Trump souvenir stands where not one penny reaches Mar a Lago.

10. Worse: these are nft's ... he climbs aboard where others are jumping the nft ship.

12. They're digital, so they can't be displayed at all except

on your phone or computers. They can't be copied because they are registered when sold, so can't be counterfeited; they are basically bitcoin only with pictures. They are valuable only as a kind of currency, something that can be bought and sold. I doubt there will be much of a market for them, though it might be a sneaky way to get otherwise-illegal contributions from foreign entities, or do a little money-laundering.

8. As this blows up in his face, I think they'll lay it all on Eric.

11. Agree, except for "hurt his reputation" - something left to hurt? Well, among his zombies.

Yes, this would seem to be a straw too far even for them and for him.

One of their markers is how they mock anybody not fitting their delusional standard of what is "Normal" - and this is just too over the top even for him and them.

Instead of his vaunted shooting-somebody-on-5th-Avenue, he has shot himself in the feet. But then, we've thought this since 2015.
