Maryanne Trump Barry, the sister of former president and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, died on the morning of Nov. 13, 2023. That evening, Trump held a lavish “Gala VIP Dinner” for people who bought at least $4,700 worth of “Trump Cards” — an NFT collection of digital trading cards that depict various portraits of Trump as a superhero, a cowboy, or a god.

“I wish I looked as good as those NFTs,” Trump said that night, standing behind a white podium with “COLLECT TRUMP CARDS” embossed in gold. “The muscles, I look like the most powerful guy. But I tell you, I’ve had a lot of fun with it. I don’t know if you look at the pop art or modern art or whatever, but it really is, the job they do is fantastic.”

The Trump on his NFT trading cards is a paper doll-like version of the former president, reimagined with an athletic build and a frozen half-smirk. The 150,000-odd combinations of costumes and backgrounds seem to capture every possible mythological Trump, all of the heroes he creates and sells to different audiences. There’s a three-earths-tall Trump standing on top of the world. There’s a hunter Trump donning camo in the western wilderness with a black Labrador. There’s a Trump with a raised fist in front of the U.S. Capitol, and another in front of a Hollywood-style “Trumpworld” sign.

I would absolutely put money on it that when he said he 'had a lot of fun with it' it means the most repugnant thing you can think it means.... based on his personality type...

"Trump Champion", so basically "last name" + "champion" must be the most unimaginative title one could come up with. Not like the potential buyers would care...

Wow, I completely forgot about the Trump NFT bullshit. There is just too many grifts coming out of him these days and I keep forgetting about all the other ones. Whatever happened to MyPillow guy?

Shocking I tell. I’m so shocked that a grifter grifted even during a family tragedy. Is she buried on a golf course to save tax money?

The propaganda behind this man in the USA is crazy. I have a coworker in his 50's who's completely brainwashed by fox propaganda and we live in Canada. He's a generally nice guy but he's mentally like a 15 year old. A little bit too hard to deprogram but there's definitely been a couple things I've said that left him thinking.

I have to wonder if we might work in the same place. I have a ton of coworkers who also get their news primarily from Fox. It's sickening. Worst yet was driving through moose Jaw Saskatchewan and seeing Trump flags in people's front yards.

How about this: 1:Use AI to generate a whole bunch of Trump pictures 2: Create NFTs with them 3: Sell them to gullible marks. Results: "Confuse the brand" of existing NFTs, dry up funding of marks, have money to donate to Biden campaign. Somebody needs to get dirty to win the war.

Their comfort level with letting old decrepit white men, despite their obvious lack of ability, take the lead is completely insane and will be their downfall. Old people do NOT belong in politics making policies for an era they will be long dead and gone for (2025-2030).

That "47" number appears to be contrived. I wonder what the criterion was?

and the real trick is the people pay for nothing. there are no real printed cards just digital images stored somewhere and just as likely to be deleted when someone forgets what the folder holding them was for. all they've done is help pay for some of his legal troubles.

at least financial overlords are upfront and predictable. they really do just want their money. it's too bad that every time they get kicked out of the driver's seat they're inevitably replaced by non-financial overlords, who are always BTWs (big time weirdos).

at that point its pretty much a spin-the-wheel to see what kind of freaky shit they prioritize instead. maybe they'll want to resurrect a long lost empire. maybe its super-mutants. maybe they want a golden spaceship to conquer the moon.

It's because in real life T**** has no empathy or use for another being that he can't profit off of directly. He was the first POTUS in well over a century to not have a pet of any kind in the White House. He has no sense of humor. He doesn't like animals. He is a horribly twisted individual.

The man isn’t Voldemort. You can type his name like a normie. There’s no power in it. Doing shit like this just shows you view him as way more important than he is.

... why does this feel like "If you laugh at them, it will make them go away."?

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Because you were given bad advice as a child.
Donald Trump is not a laughing matter. He’s a criminal and deserves to be in a genpop cell. A shitty human being propped up by supporters&haters giving him a god-like status.
Pretending his name has power to do a damn thing IS THE INSANITY. A common grifter. Not “he who shall not be named” out of some stupid belief or fear. And whomever you were told to laugh off, should have faced consequences. Sorry you were given boomer advice that helps assholes.

IIRC They were found to be using clothing images from websites of clothing companies and stock photos.

Stock images still have copyright & unless they paid for a license where copying the likeness was OK, they probably violated copyright. Wonder if anyone has pursued any action.
