Is anyone really stupid enough to waste their money on a digitally-generated image of Trump dressed like Superman? Apparently so

that the winning bid was either from Melania herself or whoever set up the NFT’s sale. And remember when Donald Trump Jr wrote a book in 2019 imaginatively titled Triggered, which topped the New York Times bestseller list? Turns out he had a little help from his friends: the Republican National Commissionon a bulk order of the book which helped get it to the top of the bestseller charts.

It’s not clear whether Trump scooped up all his own trading cards but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. If all the sales were truly organic, however, then Trump managed to earn almost $45,000 overnight: under a licensing deal proceedsrather than the campaign for his 2024 presidential run. You’ve got to hand it to the man, he does come up with some creative ways to make money. Not everyone is impressed by his ingenuity, however.
