Former US President Donald Trump is showing his cards following the fanfare surrounding the Harris-Walz campaign hat. His new America First collection features 50 digital trading cards, each priced at a cool US$99. These virtual tokens, minted on the Polygon blockchain, showcase Trump in a variety of larger-than-life personas.

From superhero to cowboy, basketball player to golfer surrounded by gold bars, the cards paint a fantastical picture of the 45th president’s alter egos. There’s even a ‘Sneakerhead’ Trump, sporting his very own branded kicks.

The selection also represents Trump’s recent attempts to secure the crypto crowd, despite being opposed to Bitcoin in the past, with a design portraying him as a ‘Crypto President’.

Notably, buyers who snag 15 or more digital cards receive a physical card containing a snippet of the suit Trump wore during his debate with President Joe Biden. This outfit, dubbed by diehards as his “knock-out suit,” is claimed to have influenced Biden’s decision not to seek re-election.
