Donald Trump NFTs sell out and double in value but don’t fund a campaign

Trump teased a “big announcement” unrelated to his presidential bid in a video depicting him as a superhero. He revealed Thursday that the digital trading cards of himself and his life and career are on sale for $99 apiece.

All of Trump’s 44,000 available NFTs have sold for more than $4 million as of 1:30 p.m. Friday, the promotional site said. The collection was trading on the OpenSea marketplace as of Friday afternoon for 1,448 ETH, or around $1.73 million. The reserve price was around $214, more than double the $99 coin price.

According to the website, Trump’s NFTs as a superhero, golfer, astronaut, western sheriff, and others “have nothing to do with any political campaign.” Instead, they can benefit him and his business partners.

“He was president and a billionaire real estate developer,” DuHaime said, “and now he’s selling pictures of himself for $100.”

The criticism comes as Trump’s campaign endured a rocky first month after officially announcing his candidacy from his Mar-a-Lago estate. Trump is behind Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a hypothetical GOP primary and is trailing by double digits in a Journal poll.
