Holy shit. My gob is officially smacked. My balder has been dashed. My poppy has… well, you finish this!
This is amazing. It’s like the one trivia question they ask knowing that if you get it, you’re cheating: No one guessed trading cards. It was too stupid to even consider.
There’s this Reddit sub for Trump fans that are bullish on DWAC (Truth Social) stock. It’s a heaping pile of schandenfreude over there right now, as they were breathlessly expecting an announcement that would finally send their tanking investments through the roof - instead they got another scam, one they aren’t in in.
My favorite comment is “This is giving fuel to the people that accuse him of being a grifter.” Yes indeed.
When I scrolled through the official website (https://collect trumpcards. com/ – link deliberately broken) I was SURE that it had been designed by the genius who gave us https://djtrumplibrary.com/.
It proves that DJT is great at one thing: self-parody. God, this is late-night comedy gold.
In the fine print, it shows alternate prizes for the sweepstake prizes. The alternate prizes are a Trump NFT trading card or an absurdly low amount of cash. For example, instead of giving you and your friends a round of golf with Trump, they can just give you $300.
If you win a private Zoom call with Trump, they can give you a limited edition Trump trading card NFT instead.
I was browsing this thread, saw this post, and thought, " @iiandyiiii did some good photoshopping there - it looks like a real announcement, mocking Trump"
Then I looked again, “wait a minute - no - not really?”
