I got yall some Trump Collector Cards for Christmas...

I don't think people will be buying these. Just my opinion.

If twump sells more than $1 million worth by Jan 15th, will you change your avatar to I Biden?

If he sells less than $1 million worth by 1/15/23, I will change my avatar to: "Love me some Trump" or whatever you wish.

Are we on?

No, think I'll pass on that one. With my luck he will buy them all himself. lol

How about $2 million? C'mon. No way will he buy $2 million of his own memorabilia!


It's a safe bet.



Are we on?

Hello evince,

This is insane


What a grifter

And he doesn't even have printing costs.

Buying anything from Trump has got to be one of the stupidest things anyone can do.

This looks like a desperation move to me.

I bet Trump merch is not selling as much as it used to.

He's losing popularity.

He now has a 57.3% unfavorable polling on RCP That's worse than Kamala Harris.

It's a scam of Trumpian dumbasses, but it's also a way for groups like Putin, the Cartels and Pedophiles'R'Us to slip him money.

They could pass $500M to him buying Virtual Cards and all he has to do is pay the taxes on it. This is the way the Republicans have protected Corporations, both legal and illegal, for a few decades now.

Gotta wonder if he will properly report all earnings and pay all the tax he is supposed to.

I kind of doubt it.

He wouldn't want to do so but will listen to his lawyers and accountants since he always gets in trouble when he doesn't.

What's the Internet tax on a $100 NFT? Not a lawyer or accountant, but the link below indicates its short term capitol gains. 20%? He gives the IRS $20 and spends the other $80 on himself?

This talks more about selling NFTs that have appreciated than the initial sale itself, but it gives an idea of the tax:

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/17/tax-surprise-looms-for-nft-investors-who-use-crypto-.html

But under the IRS rules, the ether is a capital asset not a currency. So the holder would have to pay tax on the gain of $1,600 as part of the NFT purchase, since the act of exchanging it for another asset counts as a sale or “disposition.” So they would owe the IRS — assuming a top capital gains rate of 20% — a tax of $320. They might also owe state taxes, since many states like New York and California tax capital gains as income. (The rules around additional sales taxes in each state for NFTs are less clear.)

“You’re not spending currency, you’re spending an appreciated asset,” Chandrasekera said. “So just spending it creates a taxable event.”

Can you only imagine if Obama or Biden or Hillary ever pulled a scam like this!

Hillary photoshopped as WONDER WOMAN? Biden photoshopped as Batman? Or Obama photoshopped as SHAFT? AND SOLD TO THE PUBLIC IN THE FORM OF COLLECTOR CARDS at 99 bucks each and be sold just to generate personal wealth for them individually!

Personally, if any one of them did something so stupid and as embarrassing as this, I would be searching for a new political party!

I am so proud to be on the side of NORMALCY! I am proud that my political leaders are above this kind of lunacy and absurdity!

I will be the first to admit this is stupid.

Hey thanks! I am embarrassed for us all over this.

This is not about his followers.

I'm thinking they are as shocked about this as anyone.

It took some Integrity and Earnesty to admit it Sir- and it has been duly noted!!

Thanks again!

Thanks. I'm a ma'am not a sir. lol

Yeah, I think most people think it's pretty stupid. A friend of mine texted me to ask what is going on with Trump and the digital cards.

I think this confirms he is a narcissist. As if I didn't know already.

Thanks for revealing you are not a Sir. My Apologies for that!

I think what we are seeing here is a man who is going broke paying Attorney Fees, is desperate for money.

Agreed.

At some point, DeSantis will ridicule Donnie for this. Probably not until late next year, but this is too silly to let die. LOL

Does Trump know that DeSantis is going to kick his ass in the primaries so Donnie is just trying to cash in as much as possible before that happens?

Company that makes Trump's trading cards has same address as his golf course
CIC Ventures, maker of the cards, was founded by former Trump advisor Nick Luna and Trump lawyer John Marion

The announcement was widely mocked — however, one slightly less discussed detail is the nature of the company making the cards.

It isn't Trump's campaign, nor is it the Trump Organization. Rather, it is a mysterious entity known as CIC Ventures, which, according to Ken Bensington of The New York Times, has a lot of overlap with Trump.

"The company that licensed Trump's image and likeness for the $99 NFT trading cards appears to be one founded in 2021 by former Trump advisor Nick Luna and current Trump lawyer John Marion," wrote Bensington on Twitter. "Its mailing address is the same as the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach."

"Little is known about CIC, but a little digging shows that a manila folder seized from Mar-a-Lago by the FBI in August was marked 'Serio Contract' and contained a contract with CIC Ventures and Gold Ventures, per a federal court filing," Bensington continued.

Even some Trump supporters grumbled about the NFT announcement, complaining that the cards on offer were "worthless" and a "scam."

This comes as Trump has suffered setbacks with his 2024 campaign launch, with some polls indicating he is losing the lead among the Republican base to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — which Trump took to his Truth Social platform to rail against this week.

I thought Trump vodka was laughable.

But there will be MAGA rubes dumb enough to crawl on their hands and knees for the privilege of buying Trump's stupid playing cards.

Capitalism is going bankrupt, again, as dems push for WW3. Trump playing cards is a distraction not that much different than the Kardashians.

To be honest, this implies he thinks people are dumb enough to buy these things.

He had a great thing going but he ruined it with his self love, imho.

I'm trying to think back in time when I had a favorable opinion of Donald Trump.

I think it was back in the early 70's. But I read enough about him, just on the tabloid covers while standing in line at the grocery store, over the last 50 years, to know he was not a good guy or fit to serve in any kind of public office.

Thanks, in advance, for your understanding!
