Nope. I definitely know people who voted for him, but because he was "the Republican" not because they liked him (ugh!) ... none of them would throw their hard earned money at that asshole though.

Just my two cents here. If you are seeking to communicate, please try to be a little more clear.

Sorry. Tfg = the former guy. Not going to beetle juice anyone.
Nft = digital trading cards. Is it non fungible trading?
Really thought the peas used these abbreviations. So sorry.....lesson learned to not type on my phone.

Trump is often referred to as TFG here and there was a huge thread about his NFT. But even if you don’t recognize the post, good grief!
I don’t know anyone either.

I don't know anyone who did but then again, I don't live in an area where many would.
I read on Twitter that someone did a deep dive on who did the buying. It was said that only 30% (13,500) of the NFTs were purchased by unique user addresses. The other 70% is speculated to have been purchased by a singular entity thus fueling further talk about money laundering. If this is true, only 13,501 individuals in the world purchased his NFTs.
I don't know how true all this is if there are people who say they bought more than one card at the same time. That would shift the 70% conspiracy. But even if each of the 45,000 NFTs were purchased by different people, it still represents a very very small percentage of his followers.

I knew exactly what you were talking about. I hardly know anyone who even voted for him (well, whaddaya expect, SF Bay Area) so I doubt anyone bought them. hmm, I could post on my NextDoor and ask which of those old right-wing codgers in our Politics group bought them. I imagine someone did. It probably doesn’t really matter how many regular people bought them. I think the primary purpose was for money laundering, and we’ll never get the full scoop on how much he collects from overseas interests that way. It all sounds very scammy.

So sorry.....lesson learned to not type on my phone. Cheers. I knew what you meant. I don’t know anyone personally, but would be willing to bet that some of the Trumpers around here have bought them-if they figured out how to do it.

More likely buying it up (with money raised for his upcoming political campaign) to make it look like they are a hot commodity and encourage a purchasing frenzy.

Not that I'm aware of. Absolutely ridiculous that they exist and even worse that they sold out.

I know plenty of Trump supporters, but I surely hope they are at least smart enough to not spend money on something so asinine.

I don't think the Trump supporters in my family would admit to it but I can see at least 2 of them doing so. They have all the foolish Trump merch already.

Most gullible people do not change even with the facts staring them right in the face.

I knew what you meant with the acronyms. And I don't know anyone who purchased them. Or at least not telling that they purchased.

I suspect most of them were "purchased" by foreign agents.

Less than $4.5 million dollars. With all the trouble coming his way on this, I doubt there will be another round. It's very clear he stole all the images and then did a piss poor job of photo shopping them, and there's rumblings of lawsuits coming on that now.
