MAGA Faithful Attack Trump After His ‘Major Announcement’ Turns Out To Be $99 Digital Trading Cards

After repeatedly teasing a “major announcement” Wednesday via his failing Truth Social platform, failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump finally revealed on Thursday exactly what he wanted to tell the world.

Speculation online had been that Trump would either announce his 2024 running mate or that he was leaving the GOP and forming his own political party.

Instead, he’s hawking digital trading cards that retail for $99 a pop, according to Deadline.

On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump announced that his official “Donald Trump Digital Trading Card” is debuting, with “amazing ART of my Life & Career.”

“Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting,” Trump wrote. The cards will be available for “only $99 each.”

How was the major announcement received by the business world? Not very well.

In the immediate aftermath of his announcement, shares in Digital World Acquisition Corp., the investment vehicle set to take Trump’s media company public, fell by more than 6% after rising the day before in anticipation of the announcement. Investors apparently expected something more substantial. The deadline for the SPAC to complete a deal to go public was extended into next year.

As you’d expect, there was plenty of laughter and derision aimed at the ex-president, with many noting that he’s always trying to find a new way to grift off his fans.

Author Mike Rothschild: “Trump’s MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT was an NFT collection. It’s so lame that I’m not even including a screen shot. Congrats to everyone who saw this for the pathetic attention grab that it always was.”

Conservative editor Ben Kew: “So Trump’s ‘MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT’ was actually just a grift to promote a bunch of worthless trading cards. Even my grandmother knows NFTs are a scam.”

But it was what Trump’s so-called “fans” and supporters had to say on social media that should most concern Donald, because it sounds like they’ve had quite enough of his BS.

They sound BIG mad. Probably because it took them this long to realize they’ve been taken for a ride by a con man.
