With the vibe of an MLM sales meeting with Heaven’s Gate members wearing gold sneakers, Donald Trump Merchandising Industries Inc. fulfilled a pledge it made with the so-called “Mugshot NFTs,” the electronic vapor depicting Trump in various superhero poses. Judging from the “red carpet” photos done in front of a gen-u-wine AI-generated “Thor” Trump in front of the site of his cult’s January 6th attack as 1960s retro-style jets fly overhead printed on a trade show display (it’s a bit much), the crowd is going to love it. No, really, they will. They will soak in every single fucking second of it.
According to the Art Newspaper, which has a much better take on it than the original reporting from Axios, suckers who bought at least 47 separate editions of Trump’s various NFT–spending $99 per item at MSRP–were invited to the dinner, with the special few who have bought 100–at a cost of $99,000–will get to mingle with the Grapefruit Groper at a cocktail party where they’ll be asked to spend more on Trump’s Authentic Gnarled T-bone® or a genuine Kimberly Guilfoyle lap dance. Hey, don’t judge: it takes money to keep up the grift.
