The most important thing about Trump's trading cards is NOT the 4.5mil he made. [View all]

Each one of those NFTs represent a direct, untraceable money pipeline straight to TFG with no expiration date.

Here’s how it works.

For every future sale of any of these NFTs, TFG gets 10% of the selling price. If I had bought one at $100 bucks, TFG gets the 100 less some fees.

Today, I sell that NFT for 700 bucks. I get 630 less fees and trump gets 70.

The guy who bought it from me sells it for 500 cuz the market is weaker. He gets 450 less fees and Trump gets 50. And so on and so on…

Here’s the catch. The sales are anonymous and untraceable.

If someone wanted to “send” trump 1,000,000 in untraceable funds, all they need is two separate accounts and one of those NFTs. One wallet can “buy” the NFT from the other for 10,000,000. Voila…trump gets his million and the person with the two wallets has their 9 million.

When you ask “who would pay 10 million for one of those cards?”…easy…anyone who wants to funnel a million bucks into his pocket. A sale happens when a buyer and a seller agree on a price…any price. So yeah, these things are going to trade at millions before it’s over.

Then…they can do the exact same thing tomorrow…selling it back to the original account for another 10 million…and of course trump get another million.

This can go on daily…for-f’ing-ever.

These bullshit “cards” are the cornerstone of the grift of all grifts. They’re like an anonymous deposit window that can pour money into his pocket.

F’ing grift of all time.
