$99 for a digital card? The World's Greatest Grifter is at it again

 Every now and again, under Vince McMahon, the WWE would tease a "major announcement", only to under-deliver. In other words, they'd have you think something big was brewing, but in the end, it was not even close. That hasn't happened since McMahon retired in July.

Earlier this week, Donald Trump teased a "major announcement" on Truth Social, and had people thinking he would either add a running mate for 2024, or withdraw from the race, or something along those lines.

He could've even announced he was divorcing Melania in favor of Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Nope.

Instead, Trump decided on his latest grift. The "major announcement" was the introduction of digital trading cards.............of himself. That ugly mug, photoshopped on several different pictures. $99 per card. These NFT's (Non-fungible tokens for the uninitiated) are just for the sake of Trump's wounded ego.

I'll let Brian Tyler Cohen break it down:

While other Republicans can afford these lame cards, the marks in Trump's base can't, but they'll happily take a chance, blind to the fact that Trump is ripping them off again. As Brian points out, the Archduke of Affluenza pockets the money himself, as if he hadn't been doing that all along via his political action committees.

As a long time sports card collector, I'm insulted by this latest scam. Topps, Panini, et al, could sell NFT's for way less than what Fraud Fauntleroy is charging, but, as Brian notes, NFT's are a dying trend.

This is too easy. Trump adds to his collection of Weasel ears for his shameless grift.
