Former U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed his latest NFT collection, titled the “MugShot” edition, paying homage to his previous arrest.
Priced at $99 per digital trading card, the “MugShot” edition not only encapsulates Trump’s legal history but also introduces a new dimension to his earlier digital collectible ventures. Buyers who acquire 47 or more of these cards—a subtle reference to Trump’s potential return as the 47th U.S. president—will receive an exclusive dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and a fragment of the suit he wore during his arrest in August.
The “MugShot” Edition Trading Cards This latest release of “MugShot” has stirred interest in the digital collectibles market, reigniting enthusiasm for Trump’s previous NFTs and resulting in a significant rebound in their market value.
“Just Like Baseball Cards, But You Collect Them Digitally!” stated the Trump NFT website. “In this Edition, some cards will even be one-of-ones (the only one in the world), while some others could even be hand-signed by President Donald J. Trump.”
In addition to the dinner with the former president, consumers purchasing 47 cards in a single transaction will receive a physical card containing a piece of cloth from the suit Trump wore during his arrest, the same one seen in his mugshot.
Presidential Candidate Criticizes Trump’s Crypto Understanding On December 12, Representative Dean Phillips openly criticized both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump for their limited understanding of cryptocurrencies during the Crypto Presidential Forum.
As a Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, Phillips acknowledged his own gaps in knowledge about financial technology and digital assets but highlighted the scarcity of expertise in Congress on these topics. He specifically noted the lack of comprehension from both current and former presidents, emphasizing the need for more informed leadership in the evolving digital asset landscape.
“The two leading candidates right now, on both the left and the right, for the U.S. presidency are absolutely not in positions to understand it, prepare us for it, anticipate it, and lead us into the next century,” said Phillips. “Joe Biden and Donald Trump, at their age and stage of life, are simply not the right people to lead us forward.”
According to a financial filing in August, Trump holds between $250,000 to $500,000 in digital assets. He released the $99 trading cards in December 2022.
