    Phew! Glad I got in there early or my family would have been disappointed on Christmas morning
    For $99 it would've almost be worth it to see your family's faces when you give them their special pressie.

    There's a not entirely implausible theory that they are for money laundering purposes, not entirely unconnected with his hoarding of classified information.

    Mind you, just about anything is plausible with such a venal, corrupt, batshit-crazy POS.

    Maybe I'm as thick as a Trump, but they talk about them being cards and also NFTs. I thought an NFT was a purely digital thing, admittedly I really don't understand the point of them.

    But if you missed out on the sale, eBay to your rescue. Only $1000 for a downloadable image? I'm in.

    i think they describe them as both because the target market is generally #thickaspigshit and so won't understand NFT but will understand baseball cards although yhats not what they are, but, hey, since when has Dotard been worried about a bit of artistic marketing?

    The Grifter's mob are hoovering as much dosh as poss, driven I guess by the rumbling of ongoing / upcoming legal problems multiple. Mayhap the House investigation drops him a 'nice' Chrissie pressie next week.

    Oh btw, you want a card? I can sell you a printer...

    Which is what I was thinking, so will the morons that bought them be disappointed not to get a card? In which case is it false marketing from the ex liar in chief? If they do get a card, it's not an NFT.

    TBF by his normal standards that’s just a little white lie. It’s not like it will result in insurrection and rival politicians being assaulted

    The only way it could have been better is if it would have turned into a massive pillow fight, only, in this instance, with breeze blocks hidden inside the pillows.

    You can't make it up, he's so dodgy. Derek Trotter if he'd started out as an American billionaire rather than a council flat in Peckham.

    Be interesting to see what happens when / if he gets charged. Will it lead to another riot and will he help incite it?

    Only source I found was the Daily Heil.
    Need more than that I'm afraid.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Okay so I've got a bit of a clue. Copyright could protect something like the DC Superman artwork, or a still of John Wayne from a movie, in which case splashing the face of a twat onto it could infringe copyright. But those are entirely new artworks, it looks like. Copyright is fairly narrow, and new images created in the same style are unlikely to infringe anything.

    Where's the trade mark? T for Twat is probably owned by the Trump corporation already.

    Pity, the Netflix dramatisation of an IP infringement case would have been a winner.
