Aside from the fact that digital trading cards (or NFTs) went the way of the Dodo last year, his wife Melania tried it and failed, the so-called billionaire’s desperate need for money is as transparent as the thin ice he is currently standing on. Many of his most devoted followers are angry that, instead of putting forward policy ideas to ‘fix’ the country, he is again just asking them for money. The recent revelation that the Trump campaign took $250 million in donations from supporters claiming it would go to prove the 2020 election was a sham but instead, the donations went straight into his pocket, has not helped this recent funding attempt.
The whole thing is an exercise in humiliation, with many pointing to the fact that previous presidents go on speaking tours, or in the case of former president Jimmy Carter, help build affordable homes with his Habitat for Humanity project, not start their own QVC channel selling their own Pokémon cards. The widespread mockery continues as people on both sides of the political divide come together for a brief moment to shout in unison “WHAT ON EARTH WAS HE THINKING?!!” So, where does he go from here?
