WhenDonald Trumptipped his fans off on Wednesday morning that a “major announcement” was coming soon, numerous theories began circulating the internet. None of them were correct.

Within 24 hours, Trump revealed the major news: that he was launching a line of digital trading card NFTs featuring fictionalized artwork of himself. Even more major, he is charging $99 apiece.

“MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here!” he posted on Truth Social Thursday morning. “These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!”

“Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting,” he continued in the post. “Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!”

When you spend $99, you get a randomly generated NFT of the former president, Forbes reports. According to the trading card website, proceeds will not go toward Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.

Trump’s hint of a forthcoming announcement immediately caused speculation that he was going to drop a bombshell update in his third bid for the presidency, as he appears to be treading water while Florida Gov.Ron DeSantismakes strides with Republican voters.
