This is too, too funny. Donald Trump went out of his way to tell OAN that he loved his digital trading cards for the work of art that they are, not because they reportedly made him $4.5 million in a few hours.
He was motivated to create his NFT collection by aesthetic considerations, not crass commercial ones.
Trump is an artiste and beauty is his overriding consideration in all matters, doncha know? We’re sure glad to hear that, Donald, since the value of these digital, crypto, crapola cards is now descending way into the basement.
Trump says his Superhero NFT sale was about the art, not money: “I loved the art .. it’s sort of comic book art .. I heard somebody said it was the investment of the year. I didn’t view it as investment. I thought they were cute. These visions are very beautiful & interesting.” pic.twitter.com/yGdDGtu01f

Investment of the year? You didn’t hear that from Open Sea, which is a website that tracks the value of NFTs, non-fungible tokens. They’re reporting that
After initially selling out, many of the cards were traded and their value shot up, peaking at 0.82 Ethereum, or $999, last Saturday on December 17…. Over the past week their value has fallen by 72 percent, with each card now worth around 0.23 Ethereum, or $280, on December 24.
Have yourself a very Merry Xmas, Donald. You may be making money elsewhere, but not in the NFT business. Maybe Melania can give you a few pointers? How’s she doing with Christmas ornaments these days? How’s the Brandon wrapping paper, $40 a roll, going?
Remember that line in Jerry Maguire, SHOW ME THE MONEY!!? Not in Trump world. All Donald cares about is Art.
Art?
Artful.
Art? Makes me think of a moment from Full Metal Jacket, when the Senior DI says “You’re so ugly you could be a modern art masterpiece!”
Don’t insult the Artful.Dodger. He was a pickpocket to buy food.
And remember he got a residual…made $ on way up and $ with every descending transaction. And the right has the nerve to call us ‘sheeple’!
Art? Poorly photoshopped pics stolen from online sites!
Really????? For a collection of digital images that amount to no more than memes to possess any value at all depends completely upon the eye of the sycophant. Those criminal cultists clamoring to launder their money for tRump’s fine art are world class rubes waiting to be fleeced. I am certain there are many others who have collected hilarious tRump memes for free from the internet. To name a few: tRump in an orange jump suit, tRump casting a long (penis) shadow, tRump behind bars, tRump doing the elephant walk on the golf course or tennis court, and so many more. The quality and genius of these freebies far outpaces tRump’s stolen hackneyed comic book art.
