Donald Trump, a former US president, introduces Collect Trump Cards, his first set of NFTs. Purchases can be made using a credit card or WETH for a total of 45,000 NFTs, each of which costs $99 and is issued on the Polygon chain.
Trump should have given more information about his next campaign since he was the first to declare his candidacy for the 2024 presidency, but he did not. He arrived and announced that he would be making a significant news and introducing his first NFT collection. He stated:
“I’m doing my first official Donald J. Trump NFT collection right here and right now,(…). They’re called Trump Digital Trading Cards. These cards feature some of the really incredible artwork relating to my life. You can collect your Trump Digital Cards just like a baseball card or other collectibles.”
Trump's "major announcement" turns out to be a series of $99 NFTs that are ugly even by the usual NFT standards. pic.twitter.com/f6r80q2PgB

Each NFT is priced at $99 and was created by illustrator Clark Mitchell, according to the official website. Additionally, the Polygon blockchain is used to create these Trump Digital Trading Tokens.
Each NFT comes with a chance to enter the "Sweepstakes" to win particular items. The Official Donald Trump NFT Collection Sweepstakes is only open to legal citizens of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old.
There are a maximum of 45,000 NFTs that can be minted during the Sweepstakes Entry Period, including the 44,000 NFTs that can be bought during that time.
All of the pictures that have been made public so far have been of the former President and are framed like baseball cards. These cards, however, portray the 45th President of the United States in an odd posture, unlike other collectible trading cards.
He is shown riding an elephant in one picture, wearing aviator sunglasses and an astronaut costume in another, and taking off his suit and shooting lasers out of his eyes in another. Everyone can find something.
