Donald Trump hawks swatches of his mugshot suit in NFT pitch
Want a piece of a former president? Be ready to open up your wallet.
Donald Trump is once again cashing in on his legal headaches, rolling out the “MugShot Edition” of his digital trading cards — featuring a sample of the suit he wore for his booking photo in Georgia earlier this year.
The latest card release includes a mishmash of flashy fictional images of Trump smashing through chains, donning what appears to be an Iron Man mask, and wearing a cowboy outfit.
Each digital trading card or non-fungible token (NFT) goes for around $99.
If patrons purchase 47 or more cards in one transaction, they will get a part of Trump’s mugshot suit and an invite to dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago.
“For the first time, we’re creating a real physical Trump card,” the former president teased in a Truth Social video. “It was a great suit, believe me — a really good suit. It’s all cut up and you’re gonna get a piece of it.”
“Collect your own exclusive piece of American history and we’ll all have fun together. Have a good life,” Trump added.
Late last year, shortly after launching his 2024 presidential campaign, Trump teased a “major announcement.”
That turned out to be the first release of his Trump Digital Cards, which quickly sold out.
Trump made history Aug. 24 when he was photographed in the Fulton County Jail following his 13-count indictment.
The 77-year-old’s team quickly sold off merchandise, including t-shirts emblazoned with his scowling visage, and reaped over $7 million.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ office indicted the former president for allegedly attempting to unlawfully overturn the Peach State’s 2020 election results. Trump has vehemently denied wrongdoing.
Trump has pleaded not guilty in all four criminal cases pending against him and has decried the legal onslaught as a “witch hunt.”
On Monday, the Supreme Court announced plans to expedite consideration of Trump’s bid for immunity from Special Council Jack Smith’s federal four-count indictment for alleged 2020 election interference.
Some legal experts have speculated that if Trump wins his bid, that could deal a massive blow to the Fulton County case against him.
Trump is the commanding 2024 GOP frontrunner in the battle for the presidency.
