Trump's shameless money grab: Donald's anticipated 'MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT' turns out to be sweepstake for his $99 Superman baseball cards - as his popularity craters just weeks after announcing 2024 run
The Daily Mail ^ | 12/15/2022 | Morgan Phillips, Geoff Earle

Donald Trump left his supporters on the edge of their seats when he touted a 'major announcement' just weeks after he revealed his run for president again in 2024.

Speculation swirled that it could be the announcement of a rally after a pause since the midterms or a move that could upend the Republican primaries.

Despite the anticipation, it turned out to be a line of his own digital trading cards, costing $99 each and featuring him in various poses - including Superman and as a cowboy with a hunting rifle.

'They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!' Trump wrote on Truth Social.

'MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!,' he said. 'My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! 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.'

In a video ad for the cards, Trump began: 'Hello everyone this is Donald Trump - hopefully your favorite president of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington, with an important announcement to make. I'm doing my first official Donald J. Trump NFT collection.'

Each card allegedly enters the purchaser into a raffle where they could score dinner with the former president, a golf trip or a Zoom call with him.

'Buy one and you will join a very exclusive community,' Trump said. ***

But where will I ever buy the steak from? Trump Steaks are out of business and anyone who seeks “Trumpism without Trump” is obviously a vegan!!!

He just put that video out after getting ridiculed for the card crap. Trump himself said the fake cards where the “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT.”

Go check his Truth Social profile.

He can do what he wants but it’s not going to help politically at the moment.

How is it a head fake?

You write that as if messaging that is confusing and frustrating to all but the chosen is mysteriously virtuous. He’s running for office in a democracy, not selecting his disciples.

Can you get a Joe Biden card?

The neighbor kid wants a motorcycle and I thought I could do the Democrat thing and give him a piece of crap card instead to hook to his bicycle to make a lot of noise without really doing anything.
