Give the stable genius his due.
An NFT collection featuring the former president dressed as a superhero, cowboy, and astronaut that could be purchased for $99 was subsequently discovered to be the “big news” that Trump teased.
Despite this, according to some reports, the whole 45,000 NFTs of Trump have been sold out in less than 12 hours, with almost 14,000 customers buying one or more of the digital tokens.
The entire value of the Trump NFT collection as of early Friday morning is around 460 Ethereum, or $570,000.
I honestly think that many of the people who have a hard time with Trump have simply never hung out with someone from New York, and just don’t get the humor.
“You’ll have a chance to win an amazing prize, like dinner with me – I don’t know if that’s an amazing prize, but it’s what we’ve got…”
I think Trump has shot his bolt. Hopefully he let’s DeSantis take over.
My niece in Florida love DeSantis, I think he would be a good choice.
I think he’s too old, nothing he can do about that. Time for new blood.
You are right Kate. He needs to exit gracefully and leave the field to the young blood.
America needs a leader with a lot of stamina, because Biden has made such a mess.
The whole western world needs a strong America. We are all in trouble.
“America needs a leader with a lot of stamina,” – Trump, no stamina?
Trump is the only one who can say, “ I was faithful to the voters, and all benefited from my administration”.
DeSantis is GOPe.
Prove me wrong.
Democrats have made the mess and will continue to do so long after Biden is in the home, as it were.
You two must watch, and believe, every word from Fox News who have determined it’s time to “move on” from Trump too. You might want to check with The American Voters First, who are not ready to move on from the PROVEN policies and practices of the BEST President in my lifetime. It’s not about “age”, which us olllllld folks will insist is just a number … it’s about POLICY.
I might remind you that Newsom is young(er) too. If age is the salient marker … well … why not Newsom? DeSantis has surrounded himself with globalist, WEF-disciple, RINO’s who will continue to hollow out the American middle class without a second thought to serve their multinational corporate masters.
And let me WARN all you who believe we SHOULD be exporting all our jobs to the Far East … and SHOULD have signed-on to the TPP (as DeSantis favored) … you aren’t thinking this through. America has been breeding, miseducating, and importing a VAST underclass that is getting larger by at least 5,000 illegal border hoppers per day. If we don’t have a robust middle class … what will these people do? They’ll RIOT and burn down the house. So … the government will have no choice but to institute UBI … and soon … most Americans will own nothing but be happily dependent upon the government. The elites of America will keep MOST of Americans as pets. As dependent pets waiting for their bowls to be filled by ‘benevolent’ owners. This is a dystopic America that would usher in a hellscape of worldwide “Free Market” Socialism.
What does any of this have to do with DeSantis? He’s aligned himself with EVERY Republican who is ALL-IN with the WEF policies of worldwide “Democratic Socialism”. Taking on EXTREME woke policies is low hanging fruit … taking on the structural realignment of world power is something entirely out of DeSantis’s ability … since he’s OWNED by those actors. Trump isn’t. It’s that simple. It’s always been that simple. It’s why we have a UniParty system of politics in America.
Wow Kenji. Was going to reply with same feeling but could never express it like you just did. Ya what the man has been put through and has a landslide election stolen and his life turned upside down.. should gracefully walk away .. WTF.. You are 100% correct on DeSantis.. he is a a great gov and anti progressive, cleaned up Florida election fraud .. but has sold out to the GOPe and they are financing him.. You will see Carl Rove in there eventually..
The left commie scum cheaters fear Trump more than anybody.
There is a reason for this as he is loved by American people ..
Very well said, sir.
Kate, Desantis is GOPe. Look at who is backing him; the Never Trump establishment that wants to maintain the corrupt Washington status quo.
AFAICT, Trump is the only viable candidate who is not GOPe and seeks to end the corrupt ($$$$) tyranny that is Washington D.C. There are finally some other up-and-comers who are not GOPe, but they don’t have the personal resources that Trump has to get through to the finish line. They are certainly not going to get the financial backing and support of the current GOP.
I believe that if Desantis were to win the Whitehouse, we’d suddenly see a different Desantis, one that would not disrupt the gravy train.
There are finally some other up-and-comers who are not GOPe, but they don’t have the personal resources that Trump has to get through to the finish line
Thank you for reminding me to caution that the full court DeSantis push is FAR MORE reaching than just destroying Donald J Trump. DeSantis and his handlers like Mitch McConnell want to CRUSH every Trump clone in American politics. Because remember … all these Trump-adjacent candidates LOST “because they were awful clones of Trump”. They LOST “because they identified with Trump” … they LOST because “they were bad candidates”. They LOST because … Trump, Trump, Trump. How DARE Kari Lake advocate closing the AZ-Mexico border!! Mitch McConnell is having NONE OF IT. She’s obviously a baaaaaad Trump-esque candidate.
The GOPe is focused on farrrrrrr more than Trump. They are determined to squash-out every last remnant of populist, America-FIRST, Republican candidates. They want “yes men” and “yes women” to toe the WEF line.
H.R.
Let me define that for you, bought and paid for by big business. Other wise you are spot on. Tho I do agree that new blood is important, but let Trump start the train to recovery of democracy in the USA. Young blood is too easily manipulated.
And yes Kenji, you get it!
My friend … you and I are very simpatico in our political views. I admire you for that, and it gives me hope that your heart is more open to Christ’s love than you care to admit. I wholly understand how men and their Religion have angered you. That’s so very human. I don’t have much use for organized religion myself … but Christ stands at the door of your heart … knocking. I honestly love you, man … even when you’re bashing the shit out of me.
I don’t care, in 2024 Trump will be 78 years old. That’s too old.
But he comes with his youngsters … gritted teeth emoji
I agree and I will be older than that. We never know when things will change dramatically when 80 plus is on the calendar.
Kate:
You are right.
But wait: there’s more.
His moment has passed.
ALSO — and I say this with real sadness — he’s become a MADMAN. Driven mad by all TPTB that hate America.
He is the central character in a modern Greek Tragedy.
As his friend told him, “You are probably the most persecuted man in US history”. And with no wrong doing and a forfeited salary to boot.
In a pre-2016 interview, Thomas Sowell said a striking thing: referring to long ago Trump interviews and the serious observations he made then, he opined Trump is less mature in his 70s than in his 40-50s.
Hey X
And what your pronouns be? Can you share?
Tell me, x Menticide, why you consider the Digital Bill of Rights the product of a madman.
Sorry, but your opposition to Trump makes you an unwitting Democrat tool.
Yes, Trump is too old now. No way he should “age-in-public”, as Biden is embarrassingly doing on the world stage. He would be about 78.5 at swearing in, if even successful. Melania is not just a pretty face, and likely said “no way, superman, or I’m on the highway with good lawyers”. He also has a smart kids who likely gave similar advice.
The baseball card scam is quite brilliant, one must say …. Proof that public education is not working …
The Republicans need to expand the candidate list to 50-60 year-olds who are not WEF-oriented.
“ baseball card scam “. You know better how people should spend their money? Sorry you fail Bob Novak’s liberal test.
Look at all the dummies that bought NFTs that are now worth nothing.
You watch, in a year or less, these Trump NFTs will be worthless.
Proof that there are still a lot of idiots out there that Trump is ripping off.
Don’t get me wrong. I supported Trump despite his flaws. But this is a blatant rip off of his zealots. They deserve to lose their money for being stupid but Trump, should really know better.
This makes me question Trump’s integrity that much more.
HannaH
Go to vox, were lefties like you will feel at homo!
You’re such an idiot. Make a point or shut up.
same price as a hunter biden painting
Don’t give Hunter any ideas … soon Democraps everywhere will be buying a virtual piece of Hunter’s masterpieces!
Trumps’s the only chance we have to expose the now normalized cheated elections process.
I think the Trump well is too poisoned now for the aging warrior to win.
Just reality. Not a Trump hater I love the man.
But every dog has his day. His has come and went.
The narrative seems to be;”Trump is over,move along ,nothing to see here”.
Like Kenji,I do not think so.
TDS is real,it appears contagious and deadly to the thinking ability of the afflicted.
This is good.
The Uni_Party so fears Trump and the voters who support him,that they are willing to be exposed for the treasonous rats they have always been.
Before “Trump” or “Orange Man Bad” did anyone here completely believe how corrupt the bureaus had become?
Or were we all good little Hannity’s believing that the rot was a few bad apples and the “Great and Good” silent majority of “Professional Civil Servants” would right the ship?
Think about it.
Professional Politicians have brought our nations to new lows,very possibly to our knees,unable to rise again..And they are willing to boast about it,uniting in their corruption and fear of the voters.
To me Trump is the beast we need.
For the citizens contempt and distrust of our “helpers” has not gone away.
Nor the urge to “reward them”.
Thanks to the revelations Donald Trump has induced,we are all aware of how addicted to power the fools and bandits are.
“Fortifying The Election”.
Blatant “Accidental malfunctions” every election day,in ridings controlled by our Uni-Party comrades.
And the dead shall vote again.
And Dread Covid Theatre…
Get the message yet?
You are property.
The property of The State.
The State being made up of a bunch of Professional Parasites.
But our owners and intellectual superiors will permit us to vote for persons who will “Manage the State Better”..
When we want to burn it down and salt the ground in which it grew..
The Hatred spewed toward Trump and his supporters.
Tells me all.
For every accusation from our Progressive Comrades is a confession.
The State is out of control.
And the minions love their “power”,until called to account..
Of those “Alternatives” who will bring any such accounting?
Trump failed,in his first term.
Seems even his crew underestimated the treachery of our “civil servants” and their media enablers.
But that failure gave us all the evidence we cannot deny.
Every past Empire has suicided.
Shall we?
“No more bad words”?
“They really should have left us alone”.
Is a fitting epitaph for the current State.
And of the creatures vying for elected position,who will get us to that graveyard the quickest?
Thank you John. I must admit how unsettling it is for me to read so many nay-Trump-sayers (even our hostex) here on this conservative board. They’ve all succumbed to the John McCain/Mittens Romney belief that “good temperament” and “middle of the road” candidate is what Republicans need to win. It is such a predictable FAIL. DeSantis will attempt to out-Trump Trump in the Primary season … then fall right in line with the McCain stratagem … probably even calling Newsom “a nice guy”. And lose. His Republican Masters won’t care. Why? Because they thrive on the Deep State status quo. They will say that DeSantis is young … and will run him again … while telling him to apologize for being “mean” to Disney and the Trans community.
And let me ask … when has there EVER been such a full frontal assault on a Republican Presidential Candidate by BOTH Political Parties … and ALL of the media (right and left)? The left HATED Reagan … but not his own Party. It’s NEVER happened. The entrenched Powers are so AFRAID of Trump and his populist voting bloc. Sadly, they appear to be successful in peeling the wobbly fringe of Trump supporters off the bloc. Nothing sadder has ever happened in American Politics IMHO is will be the death knell of America as we’ve known it. I weep for my grandsons.
And listen to us, John … you and I are “the radicals”. The left and sleeping Republicans have become “the establishment” … while you and I are the “radicals” speaking The People’s Truth to Power. We even have an anti-war in Ukraine component. Our VietNam, I guess. And as this INSANE Admin. is unilaterally … without a Congressional declaration of War … escalating US involvement by sending Patriot missle batterys (and Americans to operate them) thus triggering an inevitable Russian response … we are witnessing the rebirth of LBJ. Ugggh. I honestly PRAY this doesn’t blow up into a “limited” Nuclear War. And … yes … of course DeSantis is ALL-IN on the Ukraine War and $100B (and counting) taxpayer funding of President puppetry of the penis.
The point is that RDS is the equivalent of Jeb Bush in this go around. If he gets the nomination will he be allowed to win the election, will it even make a difference? The GOPe whirligig will continue on as usual, regardless. For those who read ‘Conservative Treehouse”, you should also read their twitter – ‘lastrefuge2twitter’.
For those who like to read up on RDS – have you seen these tweets?

I haven’t “succumbed” to anything but biological fact and the rapidly elevated risks that come with aging, especially after 75 years of age. You don’t need to waste another 400 words that I’m not going to read.
I am long winded. I shall endeavor to speak like an advertising copyrighter … in three word slogans
Grandpa not too old
Damnit … it took four!
PS … you know I ADORE you, Kate. And our disagreement will never change that
Wow. I just lost a great deal of the respect I had for our blog owner. Kenji made excellent points, as did some others. Trump is too old? End of story? She doesn’t want to hear anything, won’t even read it, that might change her mind. Right now, I’m glad said blog owner can’t vote in my country.
“Trump failed,in his first term.
Seems even his crew underestimated the treachery of our “civil servants” and their media enablers.
But that failure gave us all the evidence we cannot deny. ”
Yes, that his HUGE EGO was in charge, and not his brain.
He appointed Supreme Court justices who turned against him, he left people in charge of law enforcement and intelligence agencies who hated him and actively worked against him, he supported awful midterm candidates just because they liked him, etc etc.
I was with him, despite all the failures like pushing the COVID-19 ‘vaccine’ and refusal to go after Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden when he had the chance. But turning on DeSantis *right before the midterm elections* was still the last straw for me.
Is Ron DeSantis really “controlled opposition” or GOPe (whatever that is)? Maybe. Maybe not. DOESN’T MATTER right now. The fact is that the vast majority of Americans don’t know anything about that…all they DO know is that they saw the most popular politician in the country (in their eyes) turn on the second-most popular politician (and supposed Trump ally) *right before the midterm elections* (gee, there’s that very important qualifier again)…and it cost them victories that they may otherwise have had.
I like this quote (from x Menticide, above):
In a pre-2016 interview, Thomas Sowell said a striking thing: referring to long ago Trump interviews and the serious observations he made then, he opined Trump is less mature in his 70s than in his 40-50s.
Agreed. Anyone here want to argue that Sowell is stupid, or a RINO?
I had to remortgage to get a few sets but WOW, what a deal!
Look st those aftermarket prices climb…..Imagine if he wins a second term, better than gold bar.
The Tea Party was crushed, and that had nothing to do with Trump, And the MAGA movement is the real target. You dimwitts in here need to learn your own limitations !
You got to give it to Trump.
He knows how to make a deal.
It really does not matter who bought it, if they are going to win or lose. That is taking a risk.
Right now, Trump is raking it in.
The airy pro/cons are irrelevant.
Bet you some of those that call those that bought the things, wish they have.
Some questions.
Was the $99 for one of those 0 and 1 things?
If so, those that bought them are making money.
For now, or future
I’m laughing at the notion that it’s a joke. It’s aint. It’s just tacky.
Kenji, and other loyal supporters, you gotta get that Trump’s MOMENT has PASSED.
A century or so ago, early into my new business, I came up with a very simple marketing strategy that worked extremely well. My wealth today can be considered to have been built on about 4-5 years in the early-mid 80s. THEN, suddenly — practically overnight — it no longer worked. Its MOMENT had passed.
I was an avid Trump fan, perhaps the first at SDA to say it out loud. Today, I hope and pray he drops out and if not that he loses the primary. And deSantis, if he wins, will be slaughtered in 2024. I still like and admire Trump, deSantis too.
So, this article states “was subsequently discovered to be the “big news” that Trump teased”. The evidence it provides is…
He did indeed state that he is running again, which is exactly what was expected as big news, so why are we thinking it is trading cards simply because this article says so without evidence?
How is selling out these trading cards “big news”, exactly? You know Trump is already rich, right? So why would he think selling out a few trading cards is big news, it is not big news to him, he was already rich before they sold out, and is not appreciably richer after they have. It is not big news to him. So who would think trading cards are the “big news” and why?
Are we now to simply take unknown peoples word for it simply because these people says so? Do you now believe anything they say? Would you like to buy a bridge in Brooklyn?
A gratuitous statement, can be gratuitously denied. Gratuitous means without evidence, “because I said so”.
But wait, they have repeated that statement, so, like, “anything I say three times is true”, right? Just keep repeating it, that will make it true.
Can you say gaslighting, I know you can.
Unlike the writer of this article, I am still waiting for actual evidence that this is “the big announcement” and not relying for “evidence” on one tweet made by someone who is not Trump as evidence of what Trump said.
You can’t do that Nightfall.
The sacred Narrative has been spoken.
Whatever Trump actually said or says shall be ignored.
For the narrative is the spoken truth of our parasitic horde..
Those of us who actually wait for the full information or track down the speaker in their own words,are “Agents of disinformation” in the Emperors New World.
“Trump said ‘Drink Bleach'”..is the wisdom of TDS and all who contract it.
Harper Derangement Syndrome was played in exactly the same way.
Thou shall not be permitted to hear the person speak,but we shall spend hours more telling you what” we know he said”.
Ain’t public education grand.
Trump is still a loose cannon populist who is only “better” than the psychopaths the Dems offer up. The Only Republican worth considering to me is Rand Paul. I know, he doesn’t stand a chance. Trump will never be allowed by the deep state to attempt governance if re-elected. Leviathan cannot be managed or reformed, it must be eliminated. Populists don’t know that.
John … I will make that trade … Rand Paul for Trump.
Someone who pisses off the leftists enough to make them attack him in his yard … is probably our best bet for POTUS. Running mate: Tulsi Gabbard. I’d still be OK with that. However … what would be best for America is that they FOLLOW Trump’s 2024 Presidency.
“I can’t do this anymore. He’s one of the greatest presidents in history, but I gotta tell you: whoever – what business partner and anybody on the comms team and anybody at Mar-a-Lago … but we’re at war. They oughta be fired today. They came out with that was so important … and, hey — you don’t have three [bigger supporters] than Cortes, Bannon and Seb Gorka, and we’re getting blown up all day on this.”

When you start losing high-profile supporters like these, it’s time for a re-think.
We. need disrupters, both here and in the US, including provinces & states. I never trusted Trump (not a negative) but the cherry for me was/is: Trump = Experimental Vaccines (“there wonderful vaccines, by the way”). Even today, he’s still bragging about them.
And yes, Kate’s right, he’s too old.
One more observation, enough with ad-homonym, straw-man castigation of those that disagree with your opinion of Trump. I’ve always thought we conservatives, be it small c or otherwise, were above that horseshit.
“I never trusted Trump (not a negative) but the cherry for me was/is: Trump = Experimental Vaccines (“there wonderful vaccines, by the way”). ”
Yeah, that was a biggy…but I could grant him that one just for the fact that he was lied to about the effectiveness (or indeed even the *possibility*) of any vaccine for a coronavirus. The fact that it was rushed out without proper testing he probably should have picked up on.
“One more observation, enough with ad-homonym, straw-man castigation of those that disagree with your opinion of Trump. I’ve always thought we conservatives, be it small c or otherwise, were above that horseshit.”
I’d like to think that, too. I’ve defended him for years, despite the fact that he was a New York *Democrat* for two or three decades (and a donor to/supporter of Hillary Clinton) before winning the Republican nomination. I supported him through all his missteps, fumbles and missed opportunities as well as all the great things he accomplished. But enough is enough.
I have to agree that Trump’s time has past. I stayed up the night he was elected(almost all night) to celebrate his win over that evil hag.
The rigged 2020 result proves that it will happen again if he wins the nomination. Do you really think the Democrats and MSM won’t double down?
Remember this. What the NYT and WaPo print is spread to virtually every other news outlet in the US on all platforms. They lied for 4 years, and still do, about the Russia collusion.
They will continue their attacks with a greater fury resulting in many fence sitters to not vote for him and those voters decide every legitimate election. They already showed this in the mid-terms and it worked.
Barring that they will steal another election through enhanced vote fraud.
Guess my point is too obscure.
Trump does not matter.
What he represents does.
The Uni-Party is at war with the taxpayer.
By their own boasts.
Just Deserts to the Uni-Party,via a Trump or Guillotine, is what I support.
The conventional wisdoms,the ever present push polls and the sacred narrative are Uni-Party propaganda.
A political system so disfunctional and corrupted cannot be “better managed”.
No matter who sits upon the throne..
The foul scum forming this corrupt State,hate and fear Trump Voters..So much they have lost their protective cloaks..
War was declared..so process that as you will.
We are nothing without fair elections.
“Live free or die.”
