Former President Donald Trump is being mocked over his "major announcement" that he's selling digital trading cards featuring himself depicted as a superhero, among other characters.
"MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here!" Mr Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social on Thursday.
"These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting," he added. "GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don't Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!"
Twitter users were quick to mock the announcement.
"OH MY F***ING GOD TRUMP'S MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT IS *DIGITAL* TRADING CARDS FEATURING HIS OWN BIG DUMB STUPID PUMPKIN FACE and holy s**t he's selling them for a hundred bucks I s**t you not. I wish I was making this up. And the rubes are going to eat this s**t right up," Jeff Tiedrich wrote.
Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted that "Trump wanted to be wheeled out of Walter Reed in a Superman shirt under his actual shirt. Aides talked him out of it (and then Meadows devoted several lines in his book to claiming it hadn't happened). So instead he does it virtually and tries to make money off it".
"Oh my f***ing god, Trump's 'major announcement' is to sell digital trading cards, lololol, he is so lucky you idiots are as dumb as he thinks you are," one Twitter user said. "He wants $99 for a JPEG of him in a superhero outfit."
"Trump's 'big' announcement being Trump superhero trading cards is just incredible. My guy has totally lost it. The Loser Energy and grift is just off the charts. Biden is winning Montana and Alaska in 2024 at this rate," another user said.
"Trump Trading Cards? The ultimate gold digger! Right up there with Trump wine, steaks, ties, shirts, university and presidency. All worthless," Bill Press tweeted.
Former President Trump has announced a new collection of digital trading cards, available for $99 each.
Trump said the cards are "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting."

"You can't make this up. Donald Trump's 'major announcement' are digital trading cards that cost $99 each. Classic grifter and narcissist behavior. He has truly lost his mind more than I can possibly imagine. DOJ & Jack Smith, please hurry up and indict this man," Victor Shi tweeted.
Story continues
"Donald Trump's major announcement was that he's selling digital superhero trading cards. I can't believe that pathetic putz was ever president," one Twitter user said.
"The Trump Train is at the last stop. Donald Trump reached the end of the line & is now a runaway train rolling into oblivion. He made a 'major announcement' that he's now selling $99 digital trading cards of himself. The transition from surreal to absurd to pitiful is complete," Shannon Fisher added.
"The best thing about this is that the MAGA ecosystem went into overdrive yesterday when he teased a 'big announcement.' His VP pick? Speaker of the House? A new lawsuit? Teaming up with Musk? Nope, Trump superhero trading cards," lawyer Ron Filipkowski wrote.
In a video announcement of the trading cards, Mr Trump said he was "hopefully your favourite president of all time - better than Lincoln, better than Washington".
Come for the claim that Trump was a better president than Washington and Lincoln, stay for the "Trump digital trading cards" pic.twitter.com/qEKWYpgXL7

"I'm doing my first official Donald J Trump NFT collection right here and right now. They're called Trump digital trading cards," Mr Trump said, adding that the cards would feature "really incredible artwork pertaining to my life and my career. It's been very exciting. You can collect your Trump digital cards, just like a baseball card, or other collectables".
The former president said "one of the best parts" is that "each card comes with an automatic chance to win amazing prizes like dinner with me. I don't know if that's an amazing prize, but it's what we have".
Mr Trump said buyers could also win "golf with you and a group of your friends at one of my beautiful golf courses and they are beautiful. I'm also doing zoom calls, a one on one meeting, autographs and memorabilia, and so much more. We're doing a lot".
"My official Trump digital trading cards are $99 which doesn't sound like very much for what you're getting," he claimed.
"I think it's something you're going to like, you're gonna like it a lot," he said, later adding the non-fungible tokens make "a great Christmas gift".

That's never been a liberal problem. That malady belongs to those who still support trump.
Omigawd. I swear this is all obscenely funny!!
I didn't believe it was real at first
Tons of people are totally incredulous. trump many times has not been able to read the room. The idiot has reached new low. He can't read the country.
You can't make this shit up.
Trump is a super hero!
I could have gone all year without that visual
That visual is a more accurate representation of the steaming piles' NFT
Trump must be getting pretty desperate!
So it is not even an actual card. Just a pic on the internet...
Seems donald is in the death throws of trying to stay relevant.
This just invites ridicule.
It demands ridicule.
No matter how many I press the vote up button, it only lets me register one dammit!
Thanks, Cobie. I know you're voting me up in spirit.
Trump deserves every kind of ridicule for his "major announcement".
Trump should be ridiculed, mocked, taunted, jeered, scorned and laughed at.
Do you remember the "Trump Statue"? It's realistic, whereas, the "Trump NFT" is a fucking joke.
You're killing me this morning, Al
The NFT is how his enablers/supporters truly see it. What a sad fucking joke
THE SAME KIND YOU INVITE/DEMAND?
I ADDED TO THE TALLY FOR YA
He's competing with melania's eyes nft's. This is hysterical, wth is he thinking ?
That his MAGA sheeple will buy anything he tells them to?
That a fool and his money are soon parted?
Some dumbass will buy them.
Hey, Slinkys are way cool.
And Hula Hoops are good for the core muscles.
I love slinkies
Tell that to the Colorado State University Department of Physics.
Who doesn't?
Oh, absolutely! You can learn a lot from a slinky!
It's understandable why school dropouts might have difficulty with it, though.
I think we did something with slinkys in 6th grade science, something about work and force
I just like watching them go down stairs.
I just watched a show on the History Channel about how the slinky, hula hoop and other toys were invented. Neat
Isn't there an old joke about some people being akin to slinkies? Not really good for much, but they bring a smile to your face when you watch them tumble down the stairs.
I love the History Channel. Long ago they explained how and way the states got their shapes and I was fascinated.
That was a good show, there are several in the series
Young ladies can develop muscles they will use in college.
There's a whole series called "The Toys that Built America" and "the Foods that Built America". Most of them are really interesting and informative
I've been recording them. Enjoy that and the food series
Slinkys are all about kinetic energy, potential energy, conservation of energy.
They can also be used to demonstrate the properties of waves.
The Slinky was an unsuccessful attempt at developing a stabilization device
Any time science can be made fun, that's a good thing.
I think that's what we did with the slinkys was demonstrate the types of energy. That was a fun day. Of course, my 7th grade science teacher (it was 7th not 6th) was a great teacher and always made science fun
We used them for wave properties. It's a lot easier to see and measure amplitude and wavelength with a slinky than with water waves, with much less chance of wet floors and water fights.
Slinkys were fun for five minutes. Oh look, it went down the stairs.
Then we would try heights...
I remember when they came out with the plastic ones that didn't work. Something about having to be safe...
The metal ones could be a mess, too. If you stretched them too far, you surpassed their ability to spring back.
And when they got tangled, sometimes it wasn't even worth taking the time to untangle them.
I use metal slinkys on my bird feeder poles to keep the raccoons out of my bird feeders. The squirrels have figured them out but they confound the raccoons
You would think the coons would be smarter than a squirrel.
They are but they are too heavy for the slinkys
For whatever reason I don't particularly care for the one about soup.
You have a dirty mind al.
Yes.
I have a fucking filthy mind.
Thank you for noticing.
Oh. I thought it meant building up core muscles for puking at frat parties. And for the bend and squat while holding a pukers hair back for an hour at a time.
Several of the same muscle groups are used for many activities.
There is a Banana Republic looking for a lead grifter and we found him right here in America.
I hope you don't mind I took your link from the other seed and seeded it here. But I do love the bananas
No worries, Trout. It's the perfect article.
That there says it all....
I just can't....
They aren't even real cards.
Trump is trying to sell fake cards.
The NFTs display Trump's fake physique.
Not even real cards, well that changes everything on my previous investment decisions.
Maybe you should "invest" in Trump's fake gold and fake silver coins.
The coins are NOT solid gold nor are they solid silver.
The coins are "clad" (coated/plated) with gold or silver.
Binpure 2020 Donald Trump Gold Coin, Commemorative Coin Collection Gifts Silver Eagle Commemorative Novelty Coin
"Binpure" is the company that is marketing this fake gold coin. The use of the word "pure" in the company is a deceptive marketing technique. Naturally, they don't disclose that it's NOT a solid gold coin.
Here's a link to their bullshit Walmart ad:
Definitely not approved by Trump. Vagina neck, bags under his eyes, obvious overgrown hair swipe. He'd never approve that. It's a true [but kind] rendering of his actual appearance.
he's the reigning king of intangible assets...
The picture itself...Is he really serious about this?
Well, now we know what MAGA will be giving each other for Christmas.
Bedbugs because they're all sleeping in the same disgusting bed together? To stay silent on his lawlessness indicates he is well aware he can screw them in the ass without lube and they won't complain about it.
Yes.
I guess that's the advantage of Trump having a "micro-penis".
he lives in a bubble. there's nobody close to him that's stupid enough to tell him when he's fucked in the head.
He's punking everyone. Ha Ha. Just imagine how those saps who are Trump true believers are feeling right now. They dont know whether to shit or go blind.
Most of them just farted and winked.
OMG! I'm dyin' over here!
I have a friend who already cashed in her 401k to buy trump coins. Too bad she didn't wait for these. They're limited edition too so they're not gonna make any more than they can sell. None of this money has to go to his campaign so be sure you save some money to give him for that.
Cite
Some astute people have already traded their $100 for upwards of $8k. Since they're already traded so quickly after being purchased, they weren't really wanted. People have realized the investment value of the MAGAt rubes. Damn, if this wasn't so devastating to our country, I would enjoy watching stupid people get double scammed.
Wouldn't it be great if we found out all the Lincoln Project members bought a ton of these, traded them at exorbitant pricing and donated the funds to the Democratic Party?
Oh no, he is distracting from our ongoing hate speech....
An awfully small cod piece there....
That's because it's holding a guppy.
…fishy on every imaginable level…
Stop! You're krillin' me!
I eel ya. I guess I am just not a grouper of his.
Oh goody! Seafood puns! I miss those
Oh no! This scampi happening! Last time we started this, I got so involved I had to scale back.
I was up to my gills....
I learned some serious life lessons from that thread. For instance it taught me to keep my friends close anemones closer.
I about haddock with this then I figured it's all about the bass.
with friends like that, who needs anemones?
Haddock with this thread? If you find anything cornier, let minnow.
I know! They act all koi and when confronted, they clam up.
Yeah, some people are full of carp.
Holy mackerel, you're right! Especially when caught in a lie. You ask a direct question, they flounder for an answer.
Some people really spout a bunch of nonsense. When I can't take it anymore I just tuna them all out.
Okay, it's offishal. Since I'm a pun affishionado, you guys are keepers.
Didn't Ye and Fuentes take him up on that already?
As Abraham Lincoln looks at the U.S. today and thinks to himself. A member of the most exclusive club in the world, whose members that have changed history and led our nation in times of great danger we now have a pathetic putz shilling non-fungible tokens.
If Lincoln were alive today he'd be asking "So why the 'H' 'E' double hockey sticks are racist southern conservative Democrats now calling themselves Republicans?!?! The Grand Old Party I once knew is clearly not the same as it was. To see them pander to the white supremacists and confederate traitors is simply disgusting and any self respecting Republican who has been sticking their heads in the sand as the party allied with such trash should be ashamed of themselves! The Republican party is built on liberal ideals! Conservatives fought us tooth and nail to 'conserve' slavery, how in Gods name are they now calling themselves Republicans and apparently proclaiming that I, Abraham Lincoln, are their ideological ancestor? It makes NO sense!".
The upper case Grand Old Party of Lincoln reduced itself to today's lower case gop!
Speaking of
, I lingered a little too long this morning and I was running a little late. Please remember to unplug the coffee.
I misread that sentence. I thought it said, "I fingered a little too long this morning." That gives a new meaning to carpal tunnel .
Anyway, I unplugged the coffee and smoked some pot.
Mr Giggles friend calls that "wake and bake"
nothing like starting the day with a bowl of weedies...
How hilarious!
Great tweets, funnier than all hell. I'm paraphrasing one. He thought three things immediately: (1) Returning to Twitter; (2) naming a VP; or (3) leaving the republican party to start his own Patriot Party. "I did not see that coming." Tons of a form of "okay, that's it; count me out."
I am so thrilled that idiot can't keep his mouth shut. What a total fuck. Hope his griftees are opening their eyes. From 2016 through 2020, he made the White House a circus, and he was the clown in charge. This is all so sad in such a funny funny way!!!
Best comment from the seeded article: "I want the one showing him reading top-secret documents with his x-ray vision".
I can't wait to see what Colbert does with it tonight.
You know Lorne Michaels is having his writers work overtime on this!
Simply reading the true story is far funnier than anything SNL can do.
Ha! So true and so funny!
It's times like these that I pine for the old days of Jon Stewart and the Daily Show.
P.S. You do know that he does have a TV show again?
Apple TV, I think. Is that right?
and the Colbert Report. Least we got the Late Show
Wondering who is going to take over on the Daily Show.
I nominate Cobalt.
Stephen Colbert is making wayyy too much money on the Late Show to go back to Comedy Central. But he would fit well.
How about Jordan Klepper?
I nominate Tom Brady, LoL.
If we're going in that direction, Peyton Manning all the way!
???
absolutely! That guy is funny just because of his looks
And he SINGS! Well kind of.....
He's naturally funny. I've always liked him

Here's a run-down of 20 made-up awards, prizes, and perks that Trump has offered to contributors during 2022 [cite link]
A fool and their money . . .
trump's always relied on the stupidity of his supporters. He said so outright with his "I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue" remark. So he calls them stupid and complicit to any wrongdoing on his part, all the while taking advantage of and manipulating their misguided patriotism, and takes their money.
While I can't help but feel sorry for those horribly ugly people that are watching the end of everything they believed in, I decided to be a better person and rely upon the centuries-old adage that gives clarity to the a tragic end to all they relied on. "It's called karma bitch. and it's pronounced 'haha fuck you'."
I already have a Trump NFT (Nasty Fucking Toiletpaper).
I've posted this on another article but it seems most appropriate here.
I hope that your money didn’t go to Trump. Was the NFT made in America?
It was a gift from my son.
Trump didn't profit from the shit paper.
I wonder if he gets any royalties from the butt plugs?
Makes me nauseous to think of seeing this over and over and over, aaaaaggghhh !!!!
I like where he puckers up....
Well...everything that comes out of it is meant for the septic tank
‘…wrecked ‘em, hell…damn near killed ‘em…’
man... I needed that 7 years ago...
I bought a roll of Trump toilet paper for my mother as a gag gift. She said, I'll use that to wipe the dog's ass. LOL!
Okay, that's friggin' funny.
I live in a red state that's slowly turning lavender in some counties. A month ago I was traveling through a trump neighborhood and there were a few trump 2024 signs already. Drove through the same streets today and not one trump sign. The blush is off the asshole. I mean the rose.
I thought about it. Let's stick with asshole.
AN ASSHOLE BY ANY OTHER NAME . . . . .
You must have missed my response to you on another seed. I went and fetched it for you.
Easily one of the most retarded things I have seen in an extremely long time. And shit based on his life and experiences? When was he ever a superhero? Straight up fucking dumb. Anyone who supports this moron at this point a deserves to be taken, for every penny they have, and b) is just as much of an idiot as he is.
Yep.
And they actually sold out. to the tune of $4.56million. Fool and his money indeed............................
Of course they did. See my comment 15, click the link and see a few of his other worthless grifts of his. Something promised and never delivered by several. He has always depended on the ignorance of his supporters to keep his bank account full.
MAGA rioter 'can't believe' he's going to jail for Trump after watching trading card stunt (msn.com)
You're right, Jim. Fool and his money indeed.
[deleted]
If his base hasn't realized all this time that the whole charade of Trump was a total grift they deserve to see that this is one final dig at his own base who were gullible enough to support him but still fell short. This is his way of slapping them in the face with his open contempt of their gullibility. He knows they were gullible enough to fall for all of it every step of the way but they failed him in his eyes so this is a dig at his base.
This is such a great comment, I responded instead of just voting it up so I could see it in its entirety in my comment box.
Jimmy Kimmel last night.
“And by the way, we already have Donald Trump trading cards — they're called subpoenas,” Jimmy Kimmel joked.
Jimmy Kimmel last night.
“And by the way, we already have Donald Trump trading cards — they're called subpoenas,''
That deserved repeating.
I'm sure his ardent supporters (the ones that are left, which are primarily white nationalists) would buy the rotary phones. He counts on their ignorance and they never disappoint.
They had better add an instruction book for using the phones, they are rough tech for moosh nooshes to master.
I LOVE STEPHEN, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL
MAGA fans fume at Trump over digital trading cards stunt: 'He can't win in '24'
[If you're not using an ad blocker, it takes to a minute to load.]
I guess you're never too old to learn something stupid.
Haha. It took me a minute to figure out who that was...
Now that's a cod piece!
LOL, that is perfect.
Fun Fact: A flock of assholes is called MAGAts.
The theme of this seed. Perfect but for the 'credibility' misspell, but otherwise spot on.
And he's on the cover of Time again. Do I need a sarc tag here? Did I dream he made up a Time cover of himself and had it hanging in the WH? That's not true, is it? No one's that insecure and desperate, are they?
Since Trump has declared bankruptcy multiple times, he has "NO CREDITABILITY" with banks anymore.
Butt you're right, Trump has zero credibility because he's a fucking mega-liar.
I don't know about the WH but he had fake Time covers of himself hanging at marred a lardo and at some of his golf course club houses.
you know he's never out of sight of a mirror.
Looks like she did the art, lol.
Even I could do better than that
I've seen that trump is being accused now of stealing the images on his NFT cards. ha ha ha, if true, what a dumb ass.
He can't even do something stupid right
meh, what's another lawsuit at this point...
when i saw what he did as far as the trading cards i was ,WTF?
then last night i read something about it , seems that if someone bought $1000 worth of them, that would be 10 of them , their worth a week later would be 5-6 k, further reading told me that they were a limited quantity item so the supply /demand thing explains a lot as to the increase in value from initial offering price .
i read he made like 10 million on the sale , some will call those that bought them "rubes", but those "rubes ", if they choose to sell at the current market price are looking to make a 400% or so return on what they spent .
thats just ......."stupid "......
So it's an investment scheme.
Still....
could be , but it depends on demand , demand drops , so to does the price one could get . pretty much the same as anything else .
If he plagarized the images on those NFT the value may drop precipitously
It always amazes me what people will spend money on, and how much they will pay.
Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT statistics (nft-stats.com)
oh agreed , but one has to prove that is the case , in an actual court , and not the one of public opinion .
pet rocks ring any bells ? made the guy who came up with the idea a good chunk of change .
more like a money laundering scheme...
there ya go! That's exactly what it is and I was racking my brain looking for the right phrase
950K? Pet rocks were ridiculous, but people are spending over a million dollars on some of these things.
1. Bored Ape # 2087

3 things that have always been proven , at least to me .
barnum was right , there is a sucker born every minute .
fools and their money are soon seperated .
and some people have more money than brains, and because of that the other 2 mentioned apply .
Agree! If you are going to be spending that kind of money on something, I have this beautiful bridge in Brooklynn that I can let someone have at a very reasonable price.
Ahh.Eerrr... I have a one of kind beautiful picture of a bridge in Brooklynn that I can let someone have for an exclusive price.
actually , i would be more interested in the origional london bridge which is now in Arizona i have heard , but a title company would have to be involved ..... which i think squashes any attempts to sell things mentioned so far .
( obi -wan waves his hand and says ," this is not the sucker your looking for ....")
there's some BS about russian speculators buying them all up and reselling them. don't know or care if it was true, I just like the idea of his supporters getting shaken down by him repeatedly...
LOL
Trump is a wart on the cock of American Politics.
Sorry, we're all thinkin' it...
usually it's my job to speak the unspeakable here, but thanks for the assist...
