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.

Gloves Off: Karine Jean-Pierre Puts MAGA Racists In Their Place With A Brilliant Comparison

The issue of race and racism has been in the news quite a lot over the past few days, thanks to two major news stories that have garnered lots of attention and commentary from all sides of the political spectrum.

The first story involves Kanye West (who now prefers to be called Ye) but will be referred to by his given name to avoid confusion.

Kanye decided it would be a great idea to make a incredibly insensitive antisemitic comment in which he basically declared war on Jewish people.

Specifically, West posted this on social media, and got his Twitter account suspended as a result:

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is also in hot water for saying the following at a Trump rally over the weekend:

“I have never seen like the crime in this country. We all grew up respecting the police. Our moral values. Doing what we could do to help law enforcement in this country. The Democratic party, they have a majority, they could stop this crime today. Some people say, well, they’re soft on crime. No, they’re not soft on crime, they’re pro crime. They want crime. They want crime because they want to take over what you got. They want to control what you have. They want reparations because they think the people that do the crime are owed that. Bulls***. They are not owed that.”

And now we have Nury Martinez, Los Angeles City Council President and and a Democrat, who made horrific comments that are also blatantly racist, The Los Angeles Times reports:

Behind closed doors, Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez made openly racist remarks, derided some of her council colleagues and spoke in unusually crass terms about how the city should be carved up politically.

The conversation remained private for nearly a year, until a leaked recording reverberated explosively Sunday and turned the focus of a sprawling metropolis toward Los Angeles City Hall.

Martinez is being pressured to resign her post, but Tuberville is under no such call from his GOP colleagues, which led a reporter to ask White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at the Tuesday press briefing for her thoughts and those of President Joe Biden on the matter of Nury Martinez, to which she responded:

“Here’s the difference between Democrats and MAGA Republicans. When a Democrat says something racist or antisemitic, we hold Democrats accountable. When a MAGA Republican says something racist or antisemitic, they are embraced by cheering crowds.”

That says it all, and perfectly.

Mike Pence Gets Shredded After Attacking Biden’s Speech About MAGA GOP Extremism

Mike Pence joined a debate he should have left alone by criticizing a speech President Joe Biden made recently in which he criticized the extreme views of the MAGA Republicans who continue to remain loyal to Donald Trump and make excuses for his every illegal action.

In case you missed it, here’s what Biden said:

“What we’re seeing now is either the beginning or the death knell of extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy that underpins the — I’m going to say something, it’s like semi-fascism.”

Pence, who is clearly trying to mend fences with the far right wing of his party that still worships Trump, took to Twitter and began slamming Biden for daring to speak the truth:

“Did you see that speech last week? President Biden held a partisan campaign rally at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, flanked by uniformed United States Marines, and revealed what’s truly at stake in the next election.”

“Never before in the history of our nation has a President stood before the American people and accused millions of his own countrymen of being a ‘threat to this country.’ To top it off, President Biden had the audacity to claim, ‘I’m asking our nation to come together, to unite.’”

Those are bold (and incredibly stupid) words coming from a man that Trump suggested might should have been hanged on January 6 to placate the rioting thugs who attacked the U.S. Capitol. As House Select Committee Vice Chair Liz Cheney noted at a hearing in June:

“Aware of the rioters chants to ‘hang Mike Pence’, the president responded with this sentiment: ‘Maybe our supporters have the right idea’. Mike Pence ‘deserves it.’”

But now Pence wants to take umbrage with Biden for calling it like he sees it and making it clear to American voters what’s at stake when they go to cast their ballots in November?

The former VP’s postings raised eyebrows and ire on social media.

Ted Cruz Walks Right Into A Spectacular Self-Own When He Complains Joe Biden Doesn’t ‘Respect’ MAGA Republicans

Even though he never gives respect to anyone other than people who don’t deserve it (i.e. Donald Trump), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is angry with President Joe Biden for saying in a stump speech this week that he doesn’t “respect these MAGA Republicans.”

Why would anyone respect the members of a death cult? Are we supposed to respect Jim Jones and David Koresh? If so, count me out.

The MAGA Republicans are also cultish and devoted to the Donald and whatever he does or says. They would follow him off a cliff like lemmings if he told them to. So why do they deserve even a shred of respect?

That statement from the president led Cruz to respond.

Really, Ted? You’re going to take that attitude considering how you repeatedly disrespected Barack Obama and every other member of the Democratic congressional delegation?

Keep in mind just a few of the more disgusting things Cruz has said over the course of his political career:

  • Senator Ted Cruz, the conservative Texas Republican considering a run for the presidency, lashed out at President Barack Obama during a visit to New Hampshire on Sunday, saying his administration had repeatedly trampled on the Constitution.
  • According to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, President Barack Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran is essentially financing terrorism. And he’s not backing down after the president called his comments “outrageous.”
  • In the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said President Obama is not interested in protecting the United States.

But now Cruz wants respect? Instead, he got hit with a Twitter two-by-four.

Melania Trump Trump Supporters WTF?!

The Latest MAGA Outrage: The FBI Went Through Melania’s Wardrobe Drawers Looking For Evidence

Always looking for something to be outraged by, the MAGA faithful are now obsessed with reports that when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago on Monday in connection with a warrant issued by a federal judge, they also looked through Melania Trump’s wardrobe drawers.

What?! Oh my God! The horror!!

The story began on Fox News, which has been pushing the Melania angle in prime time, no doubt hoping to boost ratings and keep the Trump acolytes properly outraged.

If FBI agents went through Melania’s clothing, that was clearly covered in the search warrant. After all, it’s quite easy to hide documents, cell phones, cameras, and thumb drives in a drawer.

And then there’s this possibility: Maybe Melania is a co-conspirator with her husband. It wouldn’t be the first time a married couple has engaged in criminal behavior as a team.

But to hear the outcry on social media, you’d have thought they strip searched Melania.
