Interesting that this is the reason they think he’s a fool.
Among the MAGAts, the one-NFTed man is … jester?
The two college-aged sons of one of my ultra-liberal friends pooled their funds and got him the “laser eyes” NFT as a Christmas present (side note; they’re Jewish). He was delighted with the gag gift.
That makes me wonder how many NFT purchases were done out of sheer yucks, sorta like me confusedly wasting about $400 (cdn) on sending my brother b-day Cameo wishes from Rudy G.
Open my wallet for Trump so he can laugh at me? Winning?
Hmm… I might Photoshop up some Digital Trading Cards for less well-known politicians. I have friends that would chuckle if I sent them a couple.
Let’s see… Millard Fillmore as an astronaut, C. Estes Kefauver riding a rabid polar bear into battle, Shirley Temple Black as a catwoman-super-villain, Michael Dukakis poking his head out of the hatch on the back of a mecha-stegosaurus…
Do Lincoln as a giant stomping a mudhole into trump.
No one ever said late-stage teenagers were consistent with sane practices of frugality or political orthodoxy ![]()
So these things are still finding suckers.
That’s right up there with the surge in white Bronco sales after OJ’s police ‘chase.’
I was thinking more like this…
Why does my town keep getting run down?
Be fair - y’all bring a lot of that on yourselves. Kris Kobach lost his bid for governor but just got elected AG, after all.
I consider buying them more akin to gambling than investing, and I never gamble. However, I’m not sure buyers are suckers. At least – they aren’t suckers in the way Trump University students were, or contributors to his campaign are now.
When the NFT’s first came out, they were used as evidence that Trump was dumb. Meanwhile the price is almost eight times higher than at the intial offering, and team Trump gets a 10 percent cut whenever there is a sale. Which may mean that a secondary market sale is now worth almost what Trump received initially for the card.
