Donald Trump has launched a fourth set of digital trading cards, with 50 new Polygon-based NFT cards available at the price of $99 USD each.
Titled the ‘America First’ collection, the NFTs depict Trump in a variety of intriguing situations and costumes – akin to previous Trump digital trading card releases – and a number of package deals are available, including perks such as dinner and cocktails with Trump, signed Trump sneakers, physical trading cards with a portion of the fabric from Trump’s June 27 Presidential Debate suit, and more.
Reactions have been mixed, with anti-Trump individuals decrying it as a desperate fundraising attempt, whilst pro-Trump individuals praised the collection – although one notable influencer who bought into the collection wasn’t impressed once he read the Terms of Service.

Debuting in December 2022, Trump Digital Trading Cards are a series of Polygon-based NFTs illustrating the former President in a number of outfits and situations.
The cards have primarily been a way for Trump to raise funds from his supporters whilst offering unique perks in return – the most valuable of which in previous releases has been the opportunity to have dinner with Trump, which continues with this latest Series 4 release.
On top of the in-person opportunities, particular packages have allowed purchasers to receive – or be included in a raffle to receive – a range of additional perks, such as signed sneakers, autographed physical trading cards, pieces of his suits and ties from his appearances, and much more.

Reaction to Trump’s fourth digital trading card collection, titled ‘America First’, has been mixed.
On Twitter Spaces yesterday, proud Trump supporter and influencer @notthreadguy purchased $25,000 USD of cards from the latest release, expecting to receive a guaranteed dinner and cocktail opportunity with Trump.
However, upon reading the Terms of Service – and noting that the terms stated that this had to be a single transaction paid in cryptocurrency – it appears he had only purchase a 25/250 (10%) chance of securing the top dinner & cocktails package, leading to him stating he was “gonna log off for a couple days”.
