So if you get a Trump trading card containing a golden ticket you get a tour of Trump's chocolate factory?

Apparently, one of the oompa loompas ate the rest and took over the place.

So, if he licensed his name for these ephemeral items, I really do not think that he will receive 100% of the proceeds.

There has to be something in this for the people in this LLC, no?

I really don't think he will receive the entire $4.45 million. Maybe half; maybe more, but not the whole enchilada.

With them actually going up 1,000% on opensea, maybe he bought them all himself and is selling them on the secondary market.

I saw this Farron Balanced video on YouTube. It looks like tfg and his team just stole images off the Internet and poorly photoshopped tfg’s head on to them.

After already knowing that those "NFT"s are simply a set of parameters to a image generator, something that anyone can copy and reproduce with little effort. Run thru all permutations of these parameters and plaster your wall with free "trading" cards of the FL senior.

Trump's NFT Rollout Went Exactly as You'd Expect

On Thursday, former U.S. President Donald Trump released a 45,000-piece series of $99-apiece NFTs following long-awaited hints that a “major announcement” would be forthcoming.

Many people had assumed the announcement would relate to Trump’s recently declared 2024 presidential campaign, but here we are.

The NFT "trading cards" feature digital renderings of Trump in a variety of kitschy getups, including cowboy dusters and astronaut suits, which Trump described as “scenes pertaining to my life” in a promotional video.

Donald Trump Now Has an NFT Collection—And Crypto Twitter 'Can’t Even'

(original Decrypt Media)

But it didn't end there. There are also a number of scammy “terms and conditions” and clarifications.

Wall noted that after finally accessing his NFT card (a kind of 8-bit rendering of Trump being rained on by gold bars) he read in the small print that the promised chance at “dinner with Trump” was actually a Trump “gala dinner” (i.e. fundraiser), and the “Zoom call with Trump” was actually a “group Zoom call.” The word “won” in the sentence “you have won a 20-minute group Zoom call” referred to a footnote detailing further nuances: “Subject to validation and eligibility verification; screenshots are not proof of winning.”

Elsewhere, blockchain sleuths who looked more closely at the Polygon-based mint itself noted that the launch address also pre-minted a hefty portion of the rarest NFTs in the collection, apparently keeping them for the project's own benefit.

Untrue.

Elon Musk, private owner of Twitter, re-activated Trump’s Twitter account. But Trump himself is not using it - the last account activity is his January 8, 2021, statement that he was not going to the inauguration on January 20.

The screenshot above was probably taken from Truth Social. It’s fairly common for Twitter users to screenshot TS, then comment on it on Twitter.

Donald Trump had to be told a pool of reporters would no longer follow him around because he wasn't president anymore: report

Former President Donald Trump wanted reporters to cover a private event he was hosting.
Advisers then had to explain why he could no longer call on a press pool for his events.
Advisers found reporters who happened to be working near the area for his event, the Washington Post reported.


Aides and advisers to former President Donald Trump said he had a difficult time transitioning from the White House to life as a private citizen, according to a new report from the Washington Post.

According to the Post, one example of this was when Trump wanted his team to call on a press pool — reporters who travel with presidents — for an event at Mar-a-Lago. Advisers had to break the news to Trump that this was no longer a possibility. 

"We had to explain to him that he didn't have a group standing around waiting for him anymore," an unnamed former aide told the Washington Post.

The advisers ended up pulling reporters who were near Mar-a-Lago for other reasons, two sources told the Post.

Once Trump left office, he was frustrated at his downsized life, which included a smaller number of Secret Service, no access to Air Force One, and little press coverage compared to when he was president, four unnamed advisers to Trump told the Post. 

Trump has spent most of his post-presidency in isolation at Mar-a-Lago, playing golf six days a week and using dinner at the club as an opportunity to revel in the attention of admiring fans who applaud his entrances and exits from the dining room.

The praise he receives from guests at his Palm Beach, Florida, and Bedminster, New Jersey, clubs is how he gets the attention he became used to as president, an aide told the Post.

"The appetite for attention hasn't waned, but that's where he gets it now," an unnamed Trump confidant told the Washington Post."The networks don't carry his rallies. He doesn't get interviews anymore. He can't stand under the wing of Air Force One and gaggle [with reporters] for an hour."

He has also spent less time being challenged by aides and listening to opposition from political opponents, colleagues, and independent journalists, the Post reported.

Trump is now seeking a second term in the White House. On November 24, he announced his bid for president in 2024. Meanwhile, he continues to face mounting legal and political challenges.

sorry - my reading was that those quotes were from the twit site, not screenshots from the Truth.

As they don't want me to read the truth on this side of the Great Pond I do not catch the differences in look and feel.

[Kriselda Gray]

The big tell as to whether something is from Twitter or Truth Social is that Twitter has blue checkmark, while Truth Social has red ones. If the user doesn't have a checkmark, it's can be almost impossible to tell them apart.

So he does admit he was an influence and force behind the insurrection?

So, is it 10,000 or 20,000? Can't even keep his lies straight anymore.

[Slarti the White]

It seems like it is time to press Trump on all of his crimes -- I've read the first 40 or so pages of the executive summary and it looks like the J6 Committee has documented his coup attempt pretty thoroughly. The more he is called out as a liar and a treasonous criminal the more he will unravel. This is either the end game where his hold over the Republican party must be broken or he will do incalculable damage to people's trust in government and to our political system in his efforts to save himself by any means necessary. He and anyone carrying water for him should be prosecuted to the maximum extent allowed by law. This person raised a quarter of a billion dollars for the purpose of overthrowing our democracy. He cannot be given any quarter until he has been exposed for what he is. The Special Counsel should start raining down indictments as soon as possible -- if I were him, I'd go for "shock and awe". Once Trump (and all of his collaborators) are indicted then all of these lying, self-serving "truths" can be used against him (as an attempt to prejudice the jury, if nothing else). I don't see any way to stop Trump except to keep calling his bluff until he goes too far -- which will probably include inciting violence. Again. There is no room for letting things cool off -- the pressure on Trump must be continually escalated until he implodes.
