Former president Donald Trump on Tuesday launched a series of Digital Trading Card NFTs, something the 78-year-old has been doing frequently. As the election in November draws near, the GOP candidate has launched 15 new cards, starting at $100. Users can get a physical card for $1500 and a dinner with Trump as well as digital cards for between $7500 to $25000.
Although the former president declared an income of $7.15 million as licensing fees for the company that has been marketing the cards, the internet was not impressed with the latest release.
"15 stunning all-new digital trading cards, it's really something," Trump said in a video posted on Truth Soccial where he released the cards. "These cards show me dancing, even holding some BitCoins!"
Notably, the release comes at a time when Trump is shown trailing against the Democrat Party candidate Kamala Harris in almost every poll. From being ahead against Biden to falling behind after Harris took up the Blue Party mantle, the Trump 2024 campaign has seen a major turnaround in the last two months.
Here are some of the reactions to the trading card launch:
Trump is constantly grifting. Sad.

Trump supporters are dumb liars They lie and think we are dumb enough to believe their lies. They have $100 to throw in the garbage for a worthless useless card but not to eat 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️

Staffers Of Former Republicans Endorse Harris
Over 200 former staffers for past Republican nominees have endorsed Kamala Harris' presidential bid. They argue that a second term for Donald Trump would be "simply untenable." The endorsers include those who worked for George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney.
“Of course, we have plenty of honest, ideological disagreements with Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz,” the Republicans wrote, noting the significance of a handful of battleground states that proved crucial to Democrat Joe Biden's slim margin of victory in 2020. “That’s to be expected. The alternative, however, is simply untenable.”
