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. ***

And the Daily Mail fell for the head fake.
Likely twisted an ankle clean off...
We could get some Obama cards and build a house of cards.
Of course, they wouldn’t be anything like Obama’s three multi-million dollar mansions.
That poor Michelle.
“NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump’s name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms.”
Trump knew about the release.
Trump approved the release.
The media started laughing and then the real message dropped.
It was just like the Germans at the UN.
I ask the media, which fears DBOR, “Who’s laughing now, bish?”
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here!
Biden took money from every country he could and had his son doing the same and giving joe a piece... while VP and still.
That man does not deserve a thing.. he is an embarrassment!!!
And now that he is a civilian again, if he decides he wants to catch up to the losses he suffered as out president, I wouldn't care if he was hawking the Popeil pocket fisherman.
In fact I might even buy a few for Christmas gifts.
Great!
What’s your address?
That cutting edge PR strategy where you do something universally regarded as idiotic to ensure whatever else you say that day is completely drown out.
Well yeah, that's entirely Trump's fault for giving Biden that easy lay-up.
Some people will believe anything they hear from Trump. He called the cards a “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT” twice and then belatedly released this irrelevant video which had been in the can after he was ridiculed.
I don’t think DeSantis can win in 2024, but stuff like this makes it hard for Trump to persuade people that he should get yet another shot at political leadership.
If you quickly scan through a deck of cards it animates Joe delivering a smack- down on Corn Pop.
I want one
I already saw the video and the Mail headline is still stupid and they are still obsessed with all things Trump.
“shameless money grab”
that sums up all politicians
mob bosses figured out how to get elected
so here we are
$99 stocking stuffers?
I think Trump dropped the trading card thing to tie down the mainstream media and Biden while he delivered his real blow to them with the online free speech video afterwards.
Maybe we can get some Nancy Pelosi cards and play Old Maid.
How about the vegetable in chief trading cards with pictures of the squatters waiting to rush the border. People need to start posting pictures of the illegals camping overnight on the border…it’s a disaster. Polio, Ebola, and all sorts of diseases are making their way to major cities. And no one not even governor Abbott has the nerve to stop them. We the citizens living on the border are scared chitless and no one is helping us …no one. Every night it’s over 5000 over running the border patrol and walking straight to neighborhoods, downtown and everywhere! They started a downtown fire in one of the dumpsters to keep warm two nights ago, and the fire got out of control. I feel so bad and so sorry for the children that are out there in freezing temps below 30° at night. This is insanity! There’s nowhere to put them so they’re running around in the streets, neighborhoods anywhere and starting fires to keep warm. And this is before the big mother of all caravans hit next week.
Utter nonsense and wishcasting.
