The far-right streamer and Jan. 6 rioter known as “Baked Alaska” labeled former President Donald Trump a mere “nft salesman” after his teased “big announcement” flopped Thursday.
Trump riled up much of the political world Wednesday when he took to his account on Truth Social to hype a “major announcement” that ended up being a $99.00 NFT trading card of himself dressed as a superhero. The announcement drew mockery, ridicule, and concern from conservatives.
Baked Alaska is a White nationalist former MAGA streamer whose legal name is Anthime Joseph Gionet. He was among many who gave Trump’s latest money-making venture an icy reception.
Four days after his banned Twitter account was reinstated by Elon Musk, he tweeted, “[I] can’t believe [I’m] going to jail for an nft salesman,” he wrote.
Gionet pleaded guilty to assaulting a security guard at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has been sentenced to 30 days in jail but is currently waiting to begin serving the sentence.
Gionet streamed the attack online and the footage has been used in multiple cases against rioters.

The Major Announcement was the NFT cards.
ransomnote: So that's the troll 'narrative' is it? Good to know. It's absurd, of course, but good to know still the same.
Say, do you think Trump's video titled 'A NATION IN DECLINE' matches the Trump playing cards announcement, or his annoucement promising to end the government censorship that's driving the decline of our nation if elected? It's not a hard question for most, but I know you'll need extra time.
David Chase: Trump and his team saw what a complete flop it was and decided to put out another announcement later in the day.
ransomnote: I know you just throw content together without thinking, but President Trump does not. His promises re censorship took time, research, collaboration consultations with Constitutional scholars etc. - he's not like you.
David Chase: In the second announcement Trump outlined his plans for free speech. That’s great.
However just as I have predicted, if Trump wins another term it will be his last. He cannot run again.
This means his next term he will enter office under a Lame Duck status.All the Left and RINOs need to do is wait him out.
ransomnote: So in all these years you haven't learned anything? We're seeing his political power and coattails and he's not even in office. He'll have political coattails when leaving office a second time. I know how that must disappoint you.
David Chase: Our foreign enemies can ignore Trump and his policies.
ransomnote: I really don't think our enemies are stupid enough to underestimate him twice. I am not sure, though, maybe they are.
David Chase: Because in the second announcement later that day, Trump revealed the only way he can get anything done, and that’s by Executive Order.
As all know, EOs can be easily and quickly undone by the next POTUS.
We all know the power of EOs is limited.Governing by EOs is sadly weak. It’s far better to get Legislation passed to secure policies or laws.
ransomnote: So you didn't think he was exposing Biden and Obama's habits of ruling over us with EO's? Do you always need things explained to you.
David Chase: Steve Bannon sure had some words about the trading cards announcement.
Did you catch that?ransomnote: Is Steve Bannon running for office? I don't think so. He jumped on the troll bait pretty quickly. Who has more political power? Steve Bannon or Donald Trump?
David Chase:
Nice to see ya again.
Have a great day.ransomnote: Fawning insincerity is your callling card.
It must have been a q anon secret message. Unfortunately, I lost my decoder ring.
And we will bankrupt you and your family in the process.
Trust Trump's Plan. Five-dimensional chess. Kraken.
“[I] can’t believe [I’m] going to jail for an nft salesman,”...wow, a whole story based on one unattributed quote. What a jeenalist.
I support traditional institutions and ideas, NOT individual men. Especially men who, up until 2015, went to cocktail parties with Sharpton and Hillary and Jesse Jackson on a weekly basis.
So yes, I am proud of finally seeing the light and not voting for a guy who sells pictures of himself in superhero costumes.
I find it odd that this guy only got 30 days for assaulting a police officer.
Speaking of chess..
How many Banana Republicans had:
Twitter 2022 in the hands of non Deep State hands/control
Quite a chess piece that seems to be hammering the enemies of Trump
Trump is fighting a war and TDS freepers are working with the enemy.
Very well put.
You and I are on the same page. “Insurrection” my ass. The FIBBIES are doing too much Fentanyl. In the meantime, the White House lunatic and spokesperson, Brandon FJB is threatening a “holy war” if the Congress Chimps don’t pass a “burn pit bill”. Which is worse? A FIB created “insurrection” or a demented Peeresident’s “holy war?” Jo Jo might want to get his buddy Frankie Vatican to bless his “holy war” before he starts it.
Correct.
EOs have become over used since Obama lost his first midterm.
As far as not abridging the 2nd Amendment……Trump ordered to BATF to find a way to ban Bump Stocks.
Another reason why EOs are dangerous.
An act of Congress becomes the Law of the land.
Can’t be overturned by the next POTUS.
Yes honor our free speech rights, that’s great. But it doesn’t do a thing to stop the FBI and Social Media from doing it all again as they’ve done the last 6 years.
EOs are weak, they don’t have any teeth.
Thank you.

The true Dec 15 Trump announcement was actually the following video
Not according to Trump.
SNIP
He only pivoted to the First Amendment stuff after his "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" bombed.
Do you think the playing cards are major news, or his campaign's policy statement re censorship?
Do you think Trump's video titled 'A NATION IN DECLINE' matches the focus of the Trump playing cards announcement, or his annoucement promising to end the government censorship that's driving the decline of our nation if elected?
He tricked many into reading his policy statement by trolling them with playing cards first. The MSM would have hidden his censorship statements if he hadn't fanned the card announcment.
Now the public gets to play catchup, first believing the MSM when they claim it was playing cards, and then doing a doubletake when they realize the MSM pushed one 'narrative' (cards) while hiding actual news (policy re censorship).
He didn't 'pivot' to the First Amendment - he's always put the Constitution ahead of trolling efforts.
More than anyting else I've observed, his playing cards exposed many who pretend to support him but leap to the worst interpretation of anything he does, often endorsing lefty 'narratives'.
Oh but he sold NFTs so I'll side with the cabal.
“Damage done l’d say. The NFT thing was just a cringe. I think it made money but it cost him a lot of support no doubt about it.”
That sentiment reflects the differences between Republicans and democrats. It just means democrats are much more intelligent and know how to fight.
For example, Biden took showers with his young daughter. Do democrats recoil in horror and abandon him? No. They never mention it and double down on attacking Trump. And a certain percentage of Freepers immediately jump in bed with them and begin foreplay.
Let a conservative, say Trump, make a misstep and howls of derision is all one can hear and it is time to completely destroy that conservative. That is the self-righteous Republican way.
You know, the fact you all have to keep flailing about that Trump’s real announcement was about free speech (and it was a good speech), means that the effort was a failure.
Never mind if some point out that the “MA” tag was put on the NFT stuff. Even if not, the speech got lost because of the commercial.
Trump can add soy boy freepers to the cancer.
Jeez dude, read Trump's own damn tweets!
He said it himself!
Stop making excuses for his failures. Nobody's buying them.
