America needs a superhero, but instead we got the same old fool

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Donald Trump had a video claiming “America needs a superhero” and promising a “major announcement.” What was it? An article by Nikki McCann Ramirez at Rolling Stone on December 15, 2022 is titled Trump’s ‘Major Announcement’ was a scammy, superhero-themed NFT collection and the subtitle explains:

 

“For $99 you can now own a digitally generated image of the former president cosplaying as an astronaut, fighter pilot, sheriff, or red-carpet celebrity”

 

Another article by Rafi Schwartz at The Week on December 15, 2022 titled Trump’s ‘MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT’ was a line of $99 NFT trading cards with ‘no inherent monetary value’ includes images of those cards.The web page for the cards is here.


It’s just another sleazy fund-raising scheme. If you collect 45 cards, then you win a ticket for a dinner with The Donald. Wow!

 

UPDATE

 

The New York Post even ran an editorial late on the night of December 15, 2022 titled Don’t give any money to con artist Trump.
