What IS the utility of a physical Donald Trump trading card, indeed?

so its just a grift to fill his pockets

Sounds like his pockets were already lined and NFT INT LLC is the one who is actually doing this. He's just a paid spokesman.

For $99, you’d think he’d throw in a copy of Huckabee’s Trump book for kids..

Why would there ever be a market for an easily reproducible image of Trump as a superhero?


I'm always shocked at the things that people will buy. Scarcity, real or perceived always creates a market.

If you still believe this guy is a serious candidate for President, you’re a fricking moron.

Which has been his career since the 90s...a reality performer/spokesman/brand.

You are correct.

To make this more political, if voting is ever done electronically, it will involve the blockchain or similar technology.

people probably said the same thing in the 1940s when we started putting photographs of baseball players on pieces of cardboard and selling them for a nickel

these Trump cards will probably be worth zero over time. but some digital collectibles have status, scarcity, and transportability, etc. with that said, i wouldnt touch 99% of them but the remaining 1% will be very valuable over time.

Others have turned it into a get rich quick scheme for gullible people who have money to burn but absolutely no common sense.

Also, similar to FTX/Alameda, the timing was just perfect. 2020 led to a lot of bored people with a lot of disposable income. Actual trading cards got big again in the pandemic economy. Luxury cars and housing prices skyrocketed. You name it and a bubble likely formed.

This is getting major pushback on very Trump-centric message boards right now. Examples:

quote:

If he really doesn’t want to run, just have a “medical issue” and be done with it. Otherwise, be a serious opposition leader, making serious statements on the failures of Biden’s policies on the economy, foreign policy, border security, crime, etc.


quote:

A serious opposition leader would talk about the successes of his administration in foreign policy, economics, energy independence, and border security. Those were serious issues that he dealt with skillfully.


quote:

This is one of the worst moves….I am at a loss for words. Totally embarrassing. Did his youngest grandson come up with this? He has caused himself a huge amount of grief with this.


quote:

What a dumb f****in’ idea


quote:

Big announcement? This is the stuff of a reality TV show host, not a presidential candidate. More ridicule ammo for the communists.


quote:

This is The Turd That Shall Not Be Polished…


quote:

imho, The Donald wants ‘out’ and with this ‘big announcement’ he has made it perfectly clear that he is ‘done’ with politics at this level.

This was clearly Trump trolling to take the MSM's focus off of his real major announcement.
