Trump's Shameless Bigly Announcement Sparks Mockery and Laughter on the Internet

You can't shame Trump.

It's impossible.

In his world he's a superhero.

To prove it he's come up with a new grift. 

The official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection featuring him in a superhero costume, cape and "True Champion" belt.

Trump's much touted announcement hit the internet today - via his ironically named Truth Social platform - and made a big splash. Basically, it turned out to be a big belly flop that social media platforms are joyously exploiting for their followers as you read this.

Speculation Has Been Rampant

Social media users thought Trump might announce a bid to be speaker of the House. (I think I hear a Koko Bird clock chiming) 

Yesterday, Mike Sington tweeted,

"Donald Trump making a "major announcement" tomorrow. Unless it's "I'm guilty and turning myself in" no one cares.

                   Just wait. It gets better.

"Donald Trump's major announcement is that he's selling his own Pokemon cards." 

-Santiago Mayer, executive director of Voters Tomorrow.

"This is somehow hilariously dumber than even I had expected."

Ginger Gibson, senior Washington editor for NBC Digital wrote.

One twitter user noted that the stupidest part of Trump's NFT cards con, is his fans can screenshot them for free!

Pardon me for a moment until I can stop laughing!

We're talking about a former president of the United States selling Digital cards ($99 per card) because he needs money to pay his legion of lawyers in multiple court cases.

It was really amusing watching two Faux News hosts try to explain away the sheer stupidity of the stunt, attributing it to his sense of humor(!) and marketing genius.

The former president probably would say there's nothing humorous about his great announcement while shilling a product he claims will become more collectible than baseball cards!

To think there are some maroons who will buy these Digital cards with the twice-impeached former president decked out in superhero costumes, is sad.

Like I said, Trump is shameless.

As it stands, I suspect Trump was the first person to try and sell the Brooklyn Bridge.
