Collectors who purchase one of the digital trading cards will be automatically entered into a "sweepstakes" to receive experiences with Trump, including a zoom call, a dinner in Miami or a cocktail hour at Mar-a-Lago. The trading cards will have rarity traits from one-of-ones to "2, 5, 7, or 10 copies. No Trump Digital Trading Card will have more than 20 copies in existence" according to the site.

Although Trump said he was"not a fan" of cryptocurrency in July 2019, he appeared enthusiastic to promote his new collection. "GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!" he wrote in a post on his platform.

The site also features a promotional video from Trump, in which he declares "Each card comes with an automatic chance to win amazing prizes like dinner with me. I don't know if it's an amazing prize but it's what we have."

The project initially received criticism on Twitter, with some labeling the collection a "scam." Others noted previous reports ofhisquestionable 2020 campaign fundraising effortsandallegationsof murky spending.

Shares of Digital World Acquisition Corp (DWAC), a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) thatentered into a proposed merger dealwith Trump's social media company, was down by about 7% following the announcement.

While this is President Trump's first official NFT project, the former First Lady, Melania Trump, launched her debut NFT collection "Cobalt Blue Eyes" almost exactly a year ago.

Collect Trump Cards, the site behind the project, did not respond to CoinDesk for comment at the time of publishing.
