While most of the world moved on from NFTs more than a year ago, they’re still a hot commodity in Donald Trump’s world.
On Tuesday, the former president announced the release of a new “Mugshot Edition” of Trump Digital Trading Cards; on Wednesday, The Daily Show guest host Kal Penn brutally mocked the fundraising scheme, describing the cards as “a perfect gift for the dad you stopped talking to.”
“I wish I loved anything as much as Trump loves scamming his own supporters,” Penn said of the announcement. Because while anyone who wants to fork over $99 can own a trading card featuring a drawing of a half-robot Trump, the real prize is this: anyone who buys all 47 different cards will be sent a piece of the actual suit the ex-POTUS was wearing the day he was booked at Georgia’s Fulton County Jail.
