Donald Trump is considered to be the world's most successful online troll. The majority of Trump's shitposting has been reserved for the political left, but this week he went after his own supporters.
When the presidential hopeful cryptically said a "major announcement" was imminent this week, his followers quickly took to the internet to see if their preferred candidate would officially announce his running mate or some other major policy agenda. The NFT collection was based on poorly photographed stock images.
One of the buyers of Trump's digital trading cards will get to see the former president in person in the future. Because it is Trump, the Trump NFTs sold out in less than 24 hours. While Trump was able to make a quick buck off the NFT's he simultaneously managed to piss off a wide swath of his Republican supporters who saw the announcement as evidence he either wasn't taking his campaign seriously or was simply interested in putting together a comprehensive campaign.
The events of the past seven years have shown that it takes a lot of bullshit to get Trump's supporters to criticize him. Though the NFTs were probably the straw that broke the camel's back, Republicans in general have begun growing uneasy with Trump. A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll shows that a majority of Republicans would prefer another Republican nominee over Trump. Two thirds of GOP voters said they would like to see Ron DeSantis run for president. We are not in the year 2023.
Some of the biggest conservative voices were surprised by Trump's NFT collection.
