A month ago, former US President Trump announced his first "major news": competing for the 2024 US President. A month later, Trump once again announced that he would release "big news", saying that "the United States needs a superhero." People were full of expectations and thought that there would be some unknown news to be exposed, but the result was ridiculous.
What Trump calls "major news" is actually the release of the "Trump digital transaction card" with his own image, which is essentially an NFT digital collection. Trump said the cards are "showing art about one's own life and career" and are currently limited to 45,000 copies, each of which is $99.

The first "major news" was running for president. Anyone can guess that in this context, the second "major news" was previewed, and most people really don't know what Trump will do, so they attracted the attention of many people, but the contrast before and after is really shocking. Therefore, Trump was ridiculed and attacked by many American netizens.
Guests who purchase 45 cards at one time will directly get the opportunity to "have dinner with Trump". However, the rules state that any guest who meets Trump must pay the fees incurred by travel, accommodation, catering, etc. at their own expense. Netizens interpreted that this means you have to live in an expensive house, eat expensive food, and then pay a huge fee.

However, some netizens have tried to defend it, saying that Trump specially released exquisite digital collections to prepare campaign funds. Fans can support Trump while obtaining the collections, which is a win-win situation. However, according to its official website of digital card, the funds obtained from selling digital cards will not be used for political activities and will be fully included in Trump's personal pocket.
US President Biden also did not forget to come and mock Trump and boast about his political achievements. He posted a message saying, "In the past few weeks, I have also released some major news: alleviating inflation, signing the "Respect Marriage Act", redeeming American basketball star Britney Grina, natural gas prices are lower than a year ago, and bringing 10,000 high-paying jobs to Arizona ."

Although there are still many problems in the United States, after comparison, Biden really "wins" this time. Faced with Trump's incredible "major news", many Trump supporters were disappointed. According to a latest poll data, another Republican candidate and Florida Governor DeSantis has surpassed Trump by 11 percentage points. But so far, DeSantis has not announced that he will participate in the election.
At the same time, U.S. House Democrats are stepping up attacks on Trump, intending to legislation prohibiting Trump from holding any U.S. public office in the future, and his charge is for "inciting Congressional riots", which stems from the incident on January 6, 2021 that the U.S. Capitol was violently disturbed by Trump supporters.
Amid the continuous attacks of Democrats, Trump has begun to become increasingly slack in the matter of running for president. US media said that since Trump announced his election for president on November 15, he has never organized any campaigns and has not expanded his campaign team. Is Trump really "laying his head" and ready to return to businessmen?
