But when the announcement came on Thursday, Trump said he was merely offering supporters “limited edition cards featur[ing] amazing ART of my Life & Career”, which he promised would prove “very much like a baseball card but hopefully much more exciting”. “GET YOUR CARDS NOW!” the 76-year-old former president commanded, above the picture of himself standing in a ring for boxing or wrestling, muscles rippling under a red leotard and wearing high blue boots emblazoned with “45” (his presidential number) and an American flag as a cape. The cards, the declared candidate for the Republican nomination in 2024 said, cost “Only $99 each” and “would make a great Christmas gift”. “Don’t Wait,” Trump added. “They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!” If anyone is stupid enough to buy that, they are just reaffirming their cult membership.

He hasn't lost the plot. He's always been about the money/grift. The only other thing he wants is immunity from prosecution, which is the other reason he wants the presidency.

That's precisely why many will buy it. I'm convinced that many of them know they're in a cult. But doubling down is preferable to admitting they were wrong. And that's "admitting to themselves".

Califan007 The Constipated Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Trump's Trading Card Grift is Worse than You Think https://threats.substack.com/p/trumps-trading-card-grift-is-worse "Trump himself is not producing the cards, any more than he has developed any real estate projects since 2010. Instead, he has reached a licensing agreement with a company called NFT International LLC. All his licensing agreements, dating back decades (Real estate, Trump Steaks, Trump University etc.) have all had the same terms: The licensor pays Trump a bunch of cash up front, then he gets a share of the revenue produced by whatever the grifty product is. That number has ranged from 10% to 50%, and there is no reason to expect that this time it is any less - in fact, it is almost certainly more. So, let’s begin delving into the shady world of NFT International. Start with the simple part: NFT International is licensing Trump’s name and likeness from a company called CIC Digital LLC, a limited liability corporation formed just nine months ago and registered in Delaware. ...But the fun really starts with unraveling NFT International. It is spread out all over the place. Anyone who purchases one of the Trump Trading Cards (and perhaps feels like they have been scammed - which they have) would obviously reach out to NFT International through its contact listing on the Collecttrumpcards.com website. The address they will receive is 6300 Sagewood Drive, Suite 427, Park City, UT. But that's not where NFT International really is. In fact, there are no offices there. Rather, the address provided to purchasers as the contact site for NFT International is a mailbox at a UPS Store in a strip mall. So where is NFT International? Not even close to Park City. Instead, according to its partnership registered (in Delaware of course), it is registered 480 miles away in Cheyenne, Wyoming. When I saw the address, my mouth dropped. I know that address. I have seen it before. It is connected to some of the sleaziest entities to be found in this country, including international criminals. NFT International was set up by Wyoming Corporate Services, a company that registers shell companies. “We recognize that business entities (whether aged, shell or traditional) may be used for both good and ill,” the owner of Wyoming Corporate Services, Gerald Pitts wrote in an email to Reuters in 2011. Oh, but it gets worse. So much worse. The final address of NFT International - along with scores of other companies - is ***********, Cheyenne, Wyoming. And here it is. Among the many companies based at (this address) and registered by through Wyoming Corporate Services at this tiny brick house are forty established by Pitts in which he is listed as a director, president, or principal. Those companies have been named as defendants in more than a dozen civil lawsuits charging that they had failed to pay taxes and engaged in both securities fraud and trademark infringement. The companies registered by Wyoming Corporate...includes a number operated by a rogue’s gallery of criminals. [...]Another man of sparkling character connected to the address of NFT International is former Ukrainian Prime Minister Pavlo Lazarenko, who was once ranked the eighth-most corrupt official in the world by watchdog group Transparency International. In 2004, he was sentenced to eight years in prison in California for money-laundering and extortion, a scam that used shell companies and offshore bank accounts to hide stolen Ukrainian government funds. Another man linked to 2710 Thomes is Ira N. Rubin - just one more con artist. In 2006, the Federal Trade Commission went to federal court in Tampa, Florida and sued Rubin for fraud. According to the lawsuit, Rubin used at least 18 different front companies to hide his role as a credit-card processor for telemarketing scams. That business, the lawsuit charged, offered subprime credit cards that required an upfront fee debited from customers’ bank accounts, but the cards were never delivered. Now, none of this means that NFT International is crooked. But think about it - Trump is the former President of the United States. He has already pocketed a bunch of cash from an entity that somehow chose to do business with an entity connected to international fraud and scams. You would think that Trump, supposed billionaire and onetime leader of the free world, would have enough ability to conduct a little due diligence on the companies he does business with, or at least would make sure he avoided dealing with one that travels through so many scummy trails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you don't actually know which card you're getting when you buy one lol...you have to wait until it's delivered to you. It's like those old NFL toy helmet machines. You hope you get a Redskins helmet but end up getting 2 Cardinals helmets and a Buccaneers helmet instead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron DeSantis’ top safety official helped write language that helped a former legal client secure a state contract to oversee a controversial program to fly migrants from the southern border to Martha’s Vineyard. In the process, the official, Larry Keefe, used a non-public email address that made it appear that emails were coming from “Clarice Starling,” the main character from “The Silence of the Lambs” novel.

I'm sure somebody will makes sure the relevant election officials are aware, or they'll sue him or whatever to keep him from being on the ballot.

So you could get two Republicans if the field is very crowded. Feinstein needs to read the writing on the wall and retire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
