Maybe it’s just a nice easy way for foreign interests to funnel money to him without actually having to buy anything. Since NFTs have zero actual value beyond what people claim they’re worth, no sticky “overvalued real estate” transactions to worry about.

Is this being categorized as campaign merchandise, or is it a business venture run by Trump the private citizen?

Astounding. I bet this is just how people felt watching Neil Armstrong walk on the moon. Have we been wrong about Trump all this time?

If this is true, I wonder how long it will be before artists start suing him for sticking his ugly mug on their work and calling it his own.

That’s basically what the South Park guys said in real life.

They had problems making up anything as asinine and insane as what was actually happening.

According to the website its 100% private citizen Trump and not associated in any way with his campaign.

As for the money laudering aspect, I noticed that they limit the number of cards one can purchase to 100 putting it just below the IRS reporting requirements. Also reselling a card results in a 10% royalty of the sale price to “the creator” (i.e. Trump). So one could churn resales to generate a constant money laundering stream.
