Trump finally makes ‘major announcement’ – and it has nothing to do with his campaign

It turns out that Mr Trump is selling digital trading cards of himself.

“My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting,” Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Speculation over the former president’s announcement centred around his campaign, and whether Mr Trump would be revealing a 2024 running mate or other political moves.

“Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!” Mr Trump added on Truth Social.

The bizarre merchandising announcement came just one day after Mr Trump posted an even stranger video to his bespoke Twitter clone, where he is contractually obligated to make such proclamations despite having recently been reinstated to Twitter, the platform he used to make policy announcements, hire and fire aides, and threaten enemies before he was banned in the wake of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
