Political Suicide.
Donald Trump really does live in his own fantasy world.
The former president, 76, teased a “major announcement” with a superhero-themed video that sparked a swirl of speculation Wednesday — only to reveal Thursday that he was actually just launching a cringey new digital trading card line.
The 45th president’s new NFT collection depicts — who else? — himself in various forms of, well, highly virtual reality.
Trump is featured with a chiseled chest wearing a cape, triumphantly riding an elephant and sporting a dapper James Bond-style tuxedo in the cards, according to his announcement on Truth Social.
“Hello everyone, this is Donald Trump, hopefully your favorite president of all time — better than Lincoln, better than Washington, with an important announcement,” Trump said in a tone-deaf video linked to the post. “I’m doing my first official Donald J. Trump NFT collection.”
The former leader of the free world then urged fans to buy the so-called Donald Trump digital trading tokens — which he described as “much like a baseball card” — for “only” $99 each.
