Donald Trump’s Major Announcement: Digital Trading Cards Of Himself For “Only $99 Each”

deadline.com:

Donald Trump drew some attention with his teasing of a “major announcement” on Thursday, with many wondering if it would have something to do with his efforts to boost his presidential campaign.

In fact, it was a sales pitch. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump announced that his official “Donald Trump Digital Trading Card” is debuting, with “amazing ART of my Life & Career.” “Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting,” Trump wrote.

The cards will be available for “only $99 each.” In the immediate aftermath of his announcement, shares in Digital World Acquisition Corp., the investment vehicle set to take Trump’s media company public, fell by more than 6% after rising the day before in anticipation of the announcement.

Investors apparently expected something more substantial. The deadline for the SPAC to complete a deal to go public was extended into next year.
