Donald Trump is a serious contender for president who is absolutely not hard up for cash, and if the video he released on social media Tuesday morning makes you think otherwise, well, that’s on you.
Yes, that’s Trump, who is hoping to win the race for leader of the free world, telling his supporters about an exciting opportunity to purchase “Trump digital trading cards” that feature illustrations of the candidate with a halo above his head, wearing boxing gloves, praying (?) in front of another illustration of himself, holding a giant bitcoin, and more. Any single one can be yours for the low, low price of $99. Worried about how complicated purchasing these pieces of “American history” will be? Don’t sweat it. “It’s really easy to buy,” Trump tells viewers. “You just need an email address and a credit card or crypto.” (And don’t worry about scams!)

But wait: You haven’t even heard the best part. Not only will you receive a physical trading card (for every 15 digital cards purchased) but you'll get “an authentic piece” of the suit Trump wore for his debate with Joe Biden. “People are calling it my knock-out suit,” he claims. “I don’t know about that but that’s why they’re calling it,” he says, not for the first time. “So we’ll cut up the knock-out suit and you’re going to get a piece of it and we’ll be randomly autographing five of them, a true collector’s item. This is something to give your family, your kids, your grandchildren.”
