42% of America.....Regardless of Trump no country can be successful with that much of the population being unable to think!

Did they really sell out? Or was that Trump's face-saving way to stop the embarrassing headlines? And the price-tag of the "negative PR value" to Trump was about $1 billion, so he is in the hole by $995,500,000. Not a good trade off.

Also, Twitter has lots of people saying things like, "I bought one and they sent it to my "wallet." What's my wallet?" If you have to ask, "What's my wallet?", you have no business buying an NFT (or owning a smartphone).

The moment the laughter stopped, indeed!! A penetrating analysis with numbers in hand---a bit of cold shower of reality, TC! Thanks. You are right---only when he is gone will the support be gone---but I'm sure then the National Enquirer will have more than one article of 'miracles' at his grave or elsewhere. The 42% won't vanish.......

Although I know people can be that gullible and stupid, I want to think that most were bought by his family. As well as the RNC, like when they bought around $350,000 worth of tweeker junior’s books to get him on the best seller list. It’s just hard to wrap my head around that there are that many people still buying his grift. Wishful thinking I guess.

Unf**kingbelievable. Every time that I think the joke can’t get any more cruel, he keeps punching. And the lovers of snake oil keep lapping up the poison. Well, you took the smirk off my face. Sure did enjoy for a couple of hours. Now the idiocy of the 40% is what grieves my soul.

“ I’ll consider Trumpism no longer a threat when the last Trump voter dies.”

Interesting What does the Bell Curve of the age of trump supporters look like?

How long do I have to live in order for the last of them to die off?

Here’s to healthy living and longevity to TC and Me (and everyone else who wants to join the challenge)

It doesn't matter. 45 will be in prison. Jack Smith will put him there. Fanni Willis will put him there. It's the beginning of the end. His kids will flip on him. It's soon to be a Netflix documentary. I won't watch it.

There will be shots fired and there will be wailing and whining. But the NFT con man will be behind bars.

There is momentum at work here. There is the crushing combination of self incrimination and legal power about to step on him like an elephant on an ant.

We'll look back on the "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" with amusement. It's all over except the drama. Media frenzy. Talking heads babbling. No matter. The NYC real estate shyster is hitting the wall of justice. Everything he has created has failed. TFG will mean: The Failure Guy.

Holy S**t!

Just goes to prove that PT Barnum was right (with more than one quote!)

"No man ever went broke overestimating the ignorance of the American public."

Sadly, these will mostly have been bought by Red friends and family who do not have a lot in discretionary fund. The Great Grif continues. BetsyC is right. Maybe there is a reason they are poor. They earned that status?

Melania bought all of her own NFTs in that earlier "artistic" endeavour, apparently. I'm left wondering who just kicked a handout towards this bum.

Cultists with guns who pray to a moron con man. Byproducts of crass capitalism and fake freedom.

Sad there are that many fools who spent their bucks being scammed by TFG. I have to wonder how many of these people were actually aware of what nft's are (or arent!)

UNBELIEVABLE!

Wondering if OpenSecrets will be able to find out and list who bought

Trump’s cards. Does SEC require

a person running for president to

report an NTF? That's a lot of bucks

for his base to kick in just before

Christmas.

this just ruined my day.

trying to mitigate this ruination, I've been entertaining a conspiratorial "possibility" that maybe there was some kind of "agreement" with whomever to make sure the "cards" (big day for inverted commas, it seems) went as quickly as they did.

puh-leeze tell me this is possible, SOMEBODY.
