Trump selling another round of NFTs, this time featuring his iconic mug shot suit
December 12, 2023 04:10 PM
Former President Donald Trump is selling another round of nonfungible token trading cards, this time involving his iconic mug shot and the “never surrender” motto he has used with it.
The latest round of NFTs the former president is selling are also coming with a special offer: the chance to own a piece of the suit he wore while taking the mug shot photo. Those who buy 47 of his NFTs in one purchase will be given a physical Trump trading card that includes a piece of Trump’s mug shot suit, with the NFTs being sold for $99.

“A true collector’s item, this is something to give to your family, to your kids, and your grandchildren,” Trump said in a video posted to Truth Social.
There will only be 2,024 physical trading cards given away through this offer, likely a nod to Trump running for president in the 2024 election.
Additionally, anyone else who purchases 47 NFTs will get to have dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, which Trump joked in the video has “become a pretty famous place.” Last year, the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago over classified White House documents Trump took with him when he left the White House in 2021.
Trump was also offering people the chance to buy 100 of his NFTs using cryptocurrency, which would be limited to 200 people. As of Tuesday afternoon, the NFTs available to purchase using cryptocurrency are sold out.
The former president began selling NFTs last year, the first round of which sold out within about half a day of its release. Though initially mocked upon its reveal, the investment into NFTs was actually quite profitable, earning Trump somewhere between $100,000 and $1 million, according to a financial disclosure.

Since the release of his mug shot in late August, Trump has capitalized on the iconic photo through various merchandise featuring it, including selling T-shirts, posters, and coffee mugs. Last month, Trump revealed Christmas wrapping paper featuring the mug shot, which could either be purchased for $35 or be received for free with a $47 donation.
Trump is expected to be the nominee of the Republican Party for the 2024 presidential election because he is still leading in the party’s primary by a wide margin. Recent polling data indicate that President Joe Biden, who is running for reelection, would lose two battleground states, Georgia and Michigan, if he were to face Trump in 2024.
