Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday he would be selling NFT cards, prompting a slew of mixed reactions.
Trump teased a “major announcement” Wednesday on TruthSocial, posting a video of himself dressed up as a superhero.
“AMERICA NEEDS A SUPERHERO! I will be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT tomorrow,” Trump’s initial post announced.
While some speculated Trump would be announcing a return to Twitter or something in relation to his presidential campaign, Trump instead announced the release of digital trading cards.
“These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. The cards are selling for $99 each.
Users were quick to react to the news.
Radio host Tim Young said, “grifting on NFTs won’t win elections.”

Investigative reporter at the Free Beacon and former Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Andrew Kerr questioned some of the logistics of the cards.
“Really like a particular Trump Digital Trading Card? Well, too bad. Fork over $99 and you get a random .jpg in return. No way to select which not you buy.”
