Trump makes major announcement December 15. What is it? {Just digital trading cards of Trump}

So…I went to the website and looked up some of the addresses I found on it.
An address for something called NFT INT LLC was a UPS store, so no help there.
The address for the “administrator”, National Sweepstakes Company LLC, is a tiny little shack of a building that was a used car lot in a previous life. (Picture on Google Maps).
The tax bill is mailed to a salon in Rochester, NY.
National Sweepstakes Company LLC has been around since at least 2011, but I can’t find anything more about it.
So, a bunch of dead ends until I got to the very bottom and saw this.

‍NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.

Okay, so lets look up NFT INT LLC, I don’t have an address and I’m not going to search every state’s LLC database, so I googled it, which led me to this article:

although the company behind the cards is still shrouded in mystery, it traces back to another third-party company known for registering shell companies.

Neither Trump himself nor the Trump Organization has anything to do with the cards.
(snip)
the mailing address for CIC Ventures just so happens to be that of the Trump International Golf Club

The company that licensed Trump’s image and likeness for the $99 NFT trading cards appears to be one founded in 2021 by former Trump advisor Nick Luna and current Trump lawyer John Marion

the shell company notoriously set up to funnel hush payments to Stormy Daniels was likewise established in Delaware

an address with known connections to criminal operations.

Also, almost certainly an unimportant typo, but I’ll put it out there just in case; the website and tax bill list one of the addresses as 1143, but the LLC website has it has 1134.

Touched on in a couple of earlier posts. Murky shit indeed.

445

The database to search would be Delaware, but since they conceal information, it would probably be pointless.

446

More accurately, what you get is a listing in a registry somewhere saying that you own a copy of a particular jpeg.

She really lit up when talking to Justin Trudeau.

447

There usually is a link too though. From what I understand. You’re provided a unique link to the image on a server. But yes, you’re also registered as the owner (or at least your wallet is).

448

Such an unusual combination of embarrassment and enrichment (both for Trump). Embarrassment and (not of) riches.

449

I’m not one to deify dead presidents, but this affront saying he’s better than Lincoln and Washington hasn’t been mocked nearly enough.

450

But hasn’t he done that before?

451

Like when he sat down for an interview in front of the Lincoln Memorial and said "Look, I am greeted with a hostile press the likes of which no president has ever seen,” Mr. Trump said. “The closest would be that gentleman right up there. They always said Lincoln — nobody got treated worse than Lincoln. I believe I am treated worse.”
Seemingly unaware that Lincoln was shot in the head.

452

The Nixon Administration plotted to assassinate an investigative reporter.

453

Jesus, it’s fractal-level awful. No matter what level of detail at which you try to examine his bullshit claims, they’re all just equally awful bullshit.

454

I beg your pardon, Don the con got way more votes than Washington, Lincoln, Garfield combined.

/s

455

SNL got it within the first 30 seconds of this skit:

Worth it.

456

Washington x2, Lincoln x2 and Garfield, combined, total about 8m votes. It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump got more than 8m votes just via mail-in ballots between 2016 and 2020.

457

Yeah, but those were the fraudulent ones! /s

458

Well, it is wasn’t the press who shot him, but I get your meaning. :grin:

459

So the price skyrocketed and then collapsed, but is there any differences in prices between the “common” and the “rare” cards? Differences in trading volume?

460

As these are not public securities, there is no reporting or oversight into insider trading, trade volumes or… well anything really. No oversight at all.

Just a scam, pure and simple. Snake oil. Grifting the rubes.

461

Melania probably has a guy for ‘oversight’.

I’m holding out for the Donald Trump Star Registry.

“Each star name is permanently recorded in our book Your Place in Donald Trump’s Galaxy. The book is registered with the US Copyright Office and a copy of the book is stored in a vault in Mar-A-Lago. Additionally, we maintain your name in our suckers list database in perpetuity.”
