After the earlier 45th president of the United States, Donald Trump revealed his non-fungible token (NFT) trading card collection, Trump’s NFTs vended out within hours after the announcement. Statistics from Opensea, three days after the sale, show that the Trump NFT work card collection’s floor value is now .49 ether or roughly $578.
Trump NFTs Sell out, Cards Quadruple in Value on Opensea, Left-Leaning Bureaucratic Commentators Are Outraged
Donald Trump once said in 2019 that he was not a fan of bitcoin (BTC), and today the former president has leveraged blockchain technology to untie his NFT trading cards. The collection of 45,000 cards features images of Trump dressed as Superman, an astronaut, a cowboy, and sundry other designs. However, there’s been accusations that the team behind Trump’s NFTs used begetter images from Shutterstock and left the Shutterstock watermarks on the NFT photos.
Half the people mocking Trump for selling NFTs today were calm when he was selling out our nation’s future through record inflation.

Despite the claims, Trump’s NFT easter cards have been very popular and during the last 24 hours, cryptoslam.io stats show Trump’s solicitation is the second-largest in sales behind Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC). Trump NFT sales increased by 50.19% during the olden times 24 hours and there’s been $3,597,251 in sales. The $3.5 million in sales was across 4,749 transactions and 1,839 clients and 2,155 sellers.
Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees it’s great that House DEMs started a bill to bar trump from office under the 14th Amendment, so he can spend more time selling ridiculous digital trump wag NFTs.

On Opensea, the current floor value for Trump’s NFT cards is about .49 ether or $578, which is more than 4x larger than the original $99 price when the garage sale launched. There’s roughly 15,811 Trump NFT owners and 35% are unique owners, according to Opensea metrics on Dec. 18, 2022. One consumer owns approximately 1,000 Trump NFT cards and is the largest holder of the entire collection. Some people have petitioned the unknown Trump NFT owner with 1,000 cards is Donald Trump himself.

Of course, Trump’s NFT trading wags caused an outcry from left-leaning political pundits since the 45th U.S. president made his announcement. Current U.S. president Joe Biden shammed Trump in a tweet that says Biden “had some MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS the last couple of weeks,” using all primary letters like Trump. The left-leaning political commentator Lindy Li made fun of Trump’s NFT announcement as well, when she articulate:
Trump’s big announcement is that he’s selling NFTs. Melania’s big announcement was that she was selling a $185,000 NFT. Ivanka’s big announcement was to present Goya beans. Don Jr’s big announcement was to sell $500 cameos. The most pathetic family to ever occupy the White Company.
Other proponents of the left, like former New York Times (NYT) author, Kurt Eichenwald, tried to expose Trump’s NFT wager. Eichenwald published a blog post on his Substack that claims “Trump’s trading card grift is worse than you contrive.” Eichenwald found that shell companies are associated with a company called NFT International LLC. The former NYT columnist also associate the firm to some people with negative reputations but in the end, Eichenwald concludes that “none of this means that NFT Global is crooked.”
