Donald Trump sells NFT trading cards but says it's not about money.
The NFTs were "art" and "sorta cute" according to Trump, who sold them for 99 dollars.
Despite Trump's lack of interest in the investment, over $1 million was sold.
Trump told OAN he didn't know about NFTs before raking in over $1 million for the sale of trading cards depicting him as a hero.
I didn't know anything about them until a group came and I fell in love with the art. The art was shown to Trump in the video.
When you think of it, it's sort of comic book art, but I always wanted to have a 30-inch waist.

The initial release of the cards sold for about 99 dollars. It's not clear if Trump will get any of the money, but it seems like he's okay with that.
I did not see it as an investment. I thought they were adorable. For 99, you're getting visions that are very beautiful and interesting, and I thought it was more interesting than an NFT.

According to Newsweek, the "visions" show Trump as a superhero, cowboy, and an astronomer.
I'm looking at this stuff and I think that it might sell. Trump said that they thought it would sell in six months.
Business Insider has an article on it.
