According to his post today on Truth Social, using a website called CollectTrumpCards.com, the 45th president is hawking a “Digital Trading Card collection.”
The description says that the cards “feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!” which can be collected like a “baseball card” but “much more exciting.” And if you’re wondering what to buy your least favorite friend or family member, the post suggests the cards “Would make a great Christmas gift.”
According to a video on the website, each card comes with a chance to win a sweepstake, where fans can win a dinner or Zoom calls with Trump, or a golf outing with friends, to name a few.
Of course, social media exploded in laughter at Trump’s latest grift.

Apparently, even Russian state TV propagandists can barely contain themselves seeing Trump dressed up in a Superman-like costume.

The thing is, you have to wonder who talked Trump into this idea. Is he suddenly desperate for money? Seems likely.
According to HuffPost, the twice-impeached former president barely gave any money to a super PAC he created to help Republican candidates in the midterm. Of the $147 million he raised in donations, he only gave $15 million to GOP Senate candidates and not a penny to the bumbling Heisman Trophy-winning candidate in Georgia.
So, what’s next? Selling reverse mortgages? Supplements? It’s all a mystery.
