The edition of 45,000 NFTs features the former president in various fantasy costumes and poses. It will be minted on Polygon.

Former President Donald Trump released a collection of 45,000 fantasynon-fungible tokens (NFT), he announced on Thursday via Truth Social, the social media site he founded last year.

According to the collection's website, theTrump Digital Trading Cardsfeature images of the president in a style similar to collectible baseball cards. The tokens, minted on Polygon, cost $99 and can be purchased with ether (ETH) or in fiat currency.

At the end of the checkout process, customers are prompted to choose how many Trump Trading Cards they want to purchase. The pop-up promotes a guaranteed ticket to a gala dinner with Trump for purchasing 45 NFTs at once, as seen in the screenshot below. This would cost a customer $4455.

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. Donā€™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.

Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ā€˜Beautiful worldsā€™ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very ā€œalternative routeā€ which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. Itā€™s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit ā€“ mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) ā€“ and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past ā€œoil ageā€. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other ā€“ recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines ā€“ and then transform their relations towards nature ā€“ adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.
