Donald Trump, the former US president, has released a set of digital trading cards featuring him as various characters, such as a superhero, an astronaut, and a Nascar racer.

"These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career," declared Trump.

Earlier this week, the former President said he would make a "major announcement," which led to rumors that he might announce his running mate for his presidential campaign.

Instead, Trump released a promotional video of his new NFT collection on his Truth Social social media page.

The video showed an animated representation of the former president in front of the Trump Tower in New York, ripping away his shirt to reveal a superhero suit with the letter T imprinted on it while lasers shoot out of his eyes.

The non-fungible tokens (NFTs), each being sold at $99, according to Trump, are "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting," and "would make a terrific Christmas gift," he continued.

Additionally, purchasers will be placed into a contest with a chance to win prizes like a gala dinner or a round of golf with Trump.

Moreover, according to the project's website, buyers of newly released NFTs with the former President will be eligible to win a 20-minute meeting with him at Mar-a-Lago, but winners will be responsible for their own travel and housing costs.
