In Donald Trump’s long career of licensing his name to seemingly random products like steaks, airlines, and online courses, his launch of an online art series is surely the strangest yet.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT” to his “Truth Social” website on Thursday, the disgraced ex-president urged supporters to buy “digital trading cards” of crudely made memes of himself which can be traded on cryptocurrency markets as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Some of the images, which were offered at a $99 initial price, appear to be based on copyrighted photos which may not be properly licensed.
