Donald Trump has launched new NFTs, called Trump Trading cards
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump revealed on Tuesday that he is reintroducing a new series of digital trading cards, featuring himself in various scenarios such as dancing, dressed in a superhero outfit, and holding bitcoin.
This "America First Collection" is part of Trump's ongoing series of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). In December 2022, Trump launched his first collection of 44,000 NFTs, which sold out in just two days, despite the product facing widespread mockery at the time.
The new digital cards are priced at $99 each, and buyers who purchase certain packages may also receive perks like a gala dinner with Trump, Trump-branded sneakers, or a physical trading card containing a piece of the suit Trump wore during a debate, according to the product's website.
In a video posted to Truth Social, Trump said, "By popular demand, I'm doing a new series of Trump digital trading cards. You all know what they are, we've had a lot of fun with them," adding that the cards can be bought using either credit cards or cryptocurrency. He humorously remarked, "They call me the crypto president, I don't know if that's true or not...go right now and collect your piece of American history."
This new collection launch coincides with Vice President Kamala Harris surpassing Trump in national polling averages, according to FiveThirtyEight. In addition, campaign finance records from the Federal Election Commission indicate that Harris raised $204 million in July, significantly outpacing Trump's $48 million in campaign contributions.
