Titled the “America First” collection, the nfts depict Trump in a variety of intriguing situations and costumes, similar to previous Trump digital trading card releases, and there are a number of bundles available, including perks like dinner and cocktails with Trump, sneakers signed by Trump, physical trading cards featuring a portion of the fabric from Trump’s June 27 presidential debate suit, and more.
Reactions have been mixed: anti-Trumpers criticized it as a desperate fundraising attempt, while pro-Trumpers praised the collection, though one notable influencer who purchased the collection was unimpressed once he read the Terms of Service.

Trump digital trading cards, set to debut in December 2022, are a series of Polygon-based nfts depicting the former president in a variety of outfits and situations.
The cards have primarily been a way for Trump to raise funds from his supporters while also offering unique benefits in return, the most valuable of which in previous releases has been the opportunity to dine with Trump, which continues with this latest Series 4 release.
In addition to in-person opportunities, particular packages have allowed buyers to receive (or be entered into a drawing to receive) a variety of additional perks, such as signed sneakers, autographed physical trading cards, pieces of his suits and ties from his appearances, and much more.

Reaction to Trump's fourth digital trading card collection, titled “America First,” has been mixed.
On twitter Spaces yesterday, proud Trump supporter and influencer x.com/notthreadguy/status/1828560073796526455″ target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>@no-threadguy He bought $25,000 worth of cards from the latest release, hoping for a guaranteed chance at dinner and cocktails with Trump.
However, upon reading the Terms of Service (and noting that the terms stated that this had to be a one-time transaction paid for in cryptocurrency), it appears that he had only purchased a 25/250 (10%) chance of getting the premium dinner and cocktails package, leading him to state that he was “going offline for a couple of days.”
