This month, donald trump released nft trading cards featuring “amazing art of [trump’s] life and career,” depicting him as an astronaut, a cowboy, and a superhero, among other poses and costumes. buyers were offered perks like a meet-and-greet or dinner with the former leader. trump said he decided to launch his nft collection because he liked the art and thought the images of him were “sort of cute.”
the nft collection was released in april 2021, and sold out in one day. the floor price has since dipped as people have lost interest in the tokens, but the collection has raked in a total of $9.6 million in secondary sales. last year, his wife melania trump released a solana nft, to which trump responded by praising her idea but adding that crypto was a “very dangerous thing.”
trump decided to launch his nft collection because he liked the art and thought the images of him were “sort of cute.” he said he “didn’t view it as an investment,” but said again that he “thought they were cute.” interest in nfts exploded last year, but since the crypto market has entered a bear market, interest in the assets has waned. trump announced in november that he would run again to be america’s leader in 2024.
