Bloomberg News reports:
Building on the growing interplay between crypto and politics, Donald Trump is offering a fourth collection of nonfungible tokens that feature images ranging from the former president in a superhero costume to holding figurative Bitcoins while he seeks to return to the White House.
The new collection features 50 NFTs selling for $99 each, with additional “trading cards” showing Trump as a boxer, dancing and even riding a motorcycle. In one of the cards, Trump holds a ball with a Bitcoin logo in his hand, highlighting him as a crypto-friendly presidential candidate.
Purchasers of 15 NFTs will get a physical card with a piece of the suit Trump wore to the presidential debate in June that is credited with prompting President Joe Biden to drop from the race. Trump noted in a video on his Truth Social platform that it was being called the “knock-out” suit.
Read the full article. Rather obviously, an emailed AI image of Trump is utterly worthless once purchased. The cult obviously doesn’t care as previous iterations have “sold out.” (You can’t “sell out” of a digital product.)
AI technology has gotten so good that it’s virtually impossible to tell the difference between the new Trump NFTs and the real thing.
It’s uncanny. 🤯 pic.twitter.com/f73MRXgkvX

I’ve been getting spam emails trying to sell me these AI Trump trading card NFTs. I thought it was fake, but no, it’s just Trump grifting in the most hilarious way possible.
