On Dec. 14, former President Donald Trump teased a “major announcement” to come the following day. “America needs a superhero,” he said in a video posted to his Truth Social account. It featured a cartoon Trump with a shredded physique ripping open his shirt to reveal a Superman-esque uniform complete with dramatic music as fiery energy beams emitted from the former president’s eyes. Speculation mostly churned around which potential running mate Trump might at last name.
Then he revealed his “MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT” on Dec. 15: Trump-branded digital art in the form of non-fungible tokens, or NFTs. “My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career!” he wrote. The post also contained another image of Trump portrayed as a superhero.
