On Wednesday of this week, Donald Trump got on Truth Social and, uh, said he had a major announcement that he was gonna be making the next day on Thursday. So Thursday rolls around and Donald Trump makes his big announcement, and, uh, I'm not gonna spoil it for you in case you haven't seen it. So here is Donald Trump himself making this big, massive announcement that, by the way, people were speculating, is he gonna run for house speaker? Is he announcing his runny mate? Is he dropping out? Who knows? Is it a big lawsuit? He's got none of the above. It was this.

Working for
Digital N F T trading cards. And as you could see in the video, depicting Trump in various situations where he looks nothing like himself, they've clearly done a good job of slimming him down a bit and, uh, making him look like a, I guess one of them was what a Dallas Cowboys fan. Another was an astronaut, um, uh, one holding a football. So, um, it's funny too because he says, you know, depicting my life and my accomplishments, but you've, you've never been a cowboy. You've, you've never been an astronaut, you've never played professional football, you've never ridden a, uh, red, white, and blue elephant either. So I, I'm not sure what parts of your life those are about, but certainly not any part that's actually real. And of course, they're, they're $99, so his supporters are, are being rifted right here before Christmas. But hold up, it's not a total grift because you're not only, not only getting the $99 digital N f T collection from Donald Trump, but you are also being entered to win a sweepstakes with every purchase, including dinner with Trump in Miami, in invitation to a Mar-a-Lago cocktail hour golf with Trump and the winner's friends, and a Zoom call with the former president.
So your, your a hundred bucks is gonna buy you the digital NFTs as well as a chance to enter sweepstakes to win one of those horrible, horrible prizes. Now, as I said, one of one of the prizes there is, is dinner with Donald Trump. And I just find, find it a hilarious thought to think, what if Kanye buys some of these di digital NFTs? Then he wins the dinner with Trump, and then we have to go through the whole thing again. That would be beyond hilarious, but not as hilarious as the former president effectively trolling the entire country with a major announcement. Everybody, I mean, there were tons and tons. Every media outlet in this country covered it on Wednesday.
