Trump invites ‘Mugshot’ NFT buyers to Mar-a-Lago with promises of trading cards and arraigned-suit shreds
On his day off from court in New York, former President Donald Trump will be hosting a dinner on Wednesday at Mar-a-Lago for supporters who spent thousands of dollars for Trump “Mugshot Edition” NFTs.
Supporters who bought at least 47 Trump NFTs valued at $99 each have been extended a dinner invitation at Mar-a-Lago, according to an Axios report. The top spenders will also receive a physical trading card, as well as a piece of the suit Trump wore the day he was arrested last August in Fulton County, Georgia.
The Trump “Mugshot” NFT is a nod to Trump’s mugshot from when he was arrested on charges alleging that he conspired to overturn that state’s 2020 election results. He has yet to go to trial for those charges. Some of the pieces of the suit will actually be signed, Trump said in a video.
Those who bought 100 NFTs — costing nearly $10,000 — were invited to a “VIP” cocktail reception before the dinner. They will also be receiving cards that include pieces of Trump’s suit as well as the tie he wore when he was arrested.
Trump has complained that his trial in New York has made campaigning in swing states difficult. Last Wednesday, he spent his day off from trial campaigning in Wisconsin and Michigan.
Instead, Trump relied heavily on using his name and likeness to make money. Trump reportedly made between $100,000 to $1 million in 2022 from NFTS, according to financial disclosures.
