Yesterday Trump hinted at a ‘major announcement’ that turns out to be the release of “digital trading cards” with his likeness as a superhero with bulging muscles. Or dressed as a cowboy. Or shooting laser beams out of his eyes in front of Trump Tower.
And they’ll only cost you $99! What a steal.
But there’s more!
Purchasing a Trump card automatically enters you into a sweepstakes to meet Trump for a cocktail hour or round of golf at his Florida estate. Buying 45 cards — that’ll cost you $4,500 — gets you invited to a “gala dinner” with Trump somewhere in “South Florida.” But as the fine print notes, you are responsible for your own lodging and transportation to and from the event.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called the cards “very much like baseball cards, but hopefully much more exciting.”
We thought this was just a money grab to fund his Presidential run, but in fact, Trump just licensed his name and likeness to a third party, which he’s done for any number of products, including Trump streaks and other fine products.
Just think, if you’re lucky, you might get one of these for Xmas! (Or not.)
