It looks like the digital era of Donald Trump is here. Not long after the former US president announced that he was returning to the internet to launch
TRUTH Social, his own social network, with additional reports suggesting that he is starting his own
“non-woke” media empire to take on tech champs like Netflix, a Trump-themed non-fungible token (NFT) has made its way online.
The digital art will be sold by Creatd, a small tech and digital content company from New Jersey.
Insider reports that, on Monday, Creatd shares jumped 68% hours after people got word of the Trump NFT.
Even more astonishing is its price: Creatd is asking for a lofty 240 Ethereum (US$1.01 million).
The artwork is a looping image containing three candid, sequential photos of the entrepreneur signing a model’s bare chest—and her reaction. The woman is described in the listing as an “Ivanka lookalike.”

A static, censored version of the art, provided in the press release, is shown above. The
full animation (NSFW) has been uploaded on OG Gallery, where the work is being sold.
The smutty photos were acquired from creditors of late artist and photographer Bob Guccione, who was also CEO of General Media, parent company of magazines like
Longevity,
OMNI,
Penthouse, and
Viva.
For a price of 240 ETH, the new owner will also receive the original high-res JPG of the photo, as well as a 1/1 physical copy of the picture in a gilded frame.
“They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and the Trump photographs are no exception,” details Creatd founder Jeremy Frommer. “We have waited a long time to sell these priceless images which were captured decades before they took on the significance and symbolism they hold today.”
