I Couldn't Stop F*cking Laughing...
I would have never guessed trading cards
Look, I do not have a ton of respect nor admiration for Donald Trump. He is a loser. In my humble opinion, he is a criminal and a bully who has numerous failed businesses and lost the popular vote twice. He never won an Emmy for a show that was on the air for years and has the worst kids. I do not think he is very smart.
But even with everything above, he was still the President of the United States. He was arguably the most powerful man in the world for four years. So personal opinion aside, this is a man who people have listened to and has made nationwide decisions.
So when Donald Trump announced that had a major announcement because “America needs a superhero now”, I was curious. I mean, not in a good way because I do not particularly want him to run for presidency again or pick Marge 3 Toes as his running mate or he would try to be the Speaker of the House or…
Let’s just say I was curious.
They were even talking about it on MSNBC. I like having the news on in the background while I am doing things. I am a loyal MSNBC watcher although I reall am not a fan of Andrea Mitchell or Morning Joe. But I love Katie Phang, Joy Reid, and when Asha Rangappa comes on to share intel info. But the news has talked less and less about Donald Trump and Twitter. So this “major announcement” was a huge deal.
Twenty four hours later I am on Twitter and I believe the “Mueller She Wrote” account posted a Truth Social that I thought was a gigantic joke. In fact, I ignored it at first. The claim was from Donald that the “major announcement” was that he was selling Trump digital cards of him photoshopped into weird situations like riding an elephant and being superman. So I went to Truth Social and saw the post and read it again. And again. And finally after about five minutes it kicked in that this was not a joke. One of the most influential and polarizing persons in America is selling f*cking NFT’s as his major announcement.
And I laughed.
I did not lol. I did not chuckle. I flat out laughed with tears coming from my eyes.
Keep in mind Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and literally every former president made millions after their term by writing memoirs or speaking tours. These presidents focused on charities and helping others. It was not a partisan issue. All of them did a lot after their presidency. I mean, Jimmy Carter is still building homes for those in need!
And here is Donald Trump. I cannot imagine an NFT company paying millions to someone and even if so, who cares? No reputation is worth this, even this loser’s reputation. His major announcement was this insane cartoon digital pictures of him for $99. Yes, you heard that right. Ninety nine dollars for an NFT of Trump boxing cartoon digital card and when you try to sell it, you pay a large fee to Trump himself.
And I still cannot stop laughing.
Funny thing is, Trump’s autograph goes for a lot of money in general. He could have signed red MAGA hats and sold them for $3000 (That is literally what they sell for on eBay). Sign a few thousand and make money. He could have charged for things at his stupid rallies. He could have done doing exclusive CPAC speeches. I mean, there are so many things he could have done.
But he didn’t. and you know why he didn’t?
Because at the end of the day, just like I said in the first paragraph, Donald Trump is a loser. And losers make bad and selfish decisions. So instead of helping others, even his own MAGA followers, he helped himself.
But I still laughed…
That is until nine million journalists got suspended from Twitter for no reason.
