Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly launched NFT collections’ floor price is 0.09 ETH. According to OpenSea, there were 743 NFTs sold, within an hour which accumulated to approximately 70 ETH. The sales volume of the NFTs has been gradually increasing since late yesterday.
The NFT collection named “Trump Digital Trading Cards” holds an image of Trump in various guises: astronaut, superhero, an Old West sheriff, and many other fantastical characters.
Elaborating more on how much these NFTs meant to him, Trump stated:
These cards feature some of the really incredible artwork pertaining to my life and my career
According to Trump, these trading cards are similar to baseball cards and can be bought for $99 dollars on CollectTrumpCards.com with a card or crypto.
While pitching his new trading cards on camera, Trump stated that with every purchase of the cards, buyers stand a chance to win a dinner with Trump himself, play golf at his esteemed golf courses, or have a one-on-one zoom call with him.
Meanwhile, the political arena and the general public shared mixed opinions about Trump’s move to launch a collection of NFTs. Keith and Kevin Hodge, two Trump supporters and stand-up comedians stated “Whoever told Trump to do this should be fired.”
Furthermore, the duo on a separate occasion mentioned:
Man, when all Patriots are looking for is hope for the future of our country and Trump hypes everybody up with a ‘BIG ANNOUNCEMENT’ then drops a low-quality NFT collection video as the ‘announcement,’ it just pushes people away.
Likewise, Steve Bannon, a right-wing media commentator and former chief strategist for Mr. Trump, stated: “I can’t do this anymore” in response to Trump’s NFT announcement.
According to the New York Times, the sale of Trump trading cards will fund Trump not his 2024 campaign.
