Trump, quiet since announcing reelection bid, makes 'major announcement' to hawk trading cards of himself

Former President Donald Trump has kept a low profile since announcing last month that he’s running for president again. That is, until Thursday. Trump took to social media and the internet to make what he called “a major announcement.” No, it wasn’t to announce his running mate or weigh in

Damn, that is stupid. Perfectly fitting for Trump.

I was chastised a few months ago for posting political crap on this site and the post was deleted by the powers that be.

 

[finestkind]

I've had a few of my post deleted too. If someone wants to delete this one. It's no big deal to me. But, it is about collectibles.

True

In the release video, he said he was better than Washington or Lincoln…

That was my main takeaway as well. Like, dude, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves.

I can only hope he meets the same fate though.

Politics aside, I was going to say that anything trading card themed has a collector base it seems...until I saw they were digital. This is still the dumbest thing to me. People are paying real money to own digital images! I like to use the Bunt app for fun, but I never spend any real money on it.

Unless money can be made from these images in the future, WHY? I try to remain open minded. I guess it is like owning art or anything else that can be bought and resold at a later date. You can buy and sell these digital images (if there are future buyers available), but at least with anything else physical, you can see and hold the item you traded your money for. There is still something to be said for that.

Well said. I would be a little more pointed in my choice of words, but I pretty much agree with your assessment of the NFT fad.

Nothing. There are THOSE who just like Trump bashing.

I put the topic in the wrong forum. The mods can move it bothers people. Or delete the topic. What ever.
