Former President Donald Trump is selling pieces of the suit he wore during the legendary June debate between himself and former Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
The Republican presidential nominee announced a new trading card collection on Tuesday in a video posted on Truth Social. The new “America First Collection” includes 50 new images of Trump in various poses. Trump explained during a promo that any supporter who buys 15 or more digital cards will receive a physical card. At the bottom of each card, under the image, is a piece of the suit he wore during the presidential debate with Biden on CNN. He mentioned that some cards would also be hand-signed.
“It’s really something, these cards show me dancing and even holding some Bitcoins,” Trump said of the new set of cards.
It’s widely believed that President Biden’s abysmal debate performance directly contributed to his dropping out of the race, leaving room for the new candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, to become the Democratic nominee.
“People are calling it the knockout suit,” Trump added in the clip. “I don’t know about that, but that’s what they’re calling it.”
The former president also mentioned in the video that anyone who purchases 75 digital trading cards, which cost $99 each, would be invited to dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Trump trading cards have been popular since their introduction in December 2022. The first batch of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) sold out in hours. Since then, Trump has introduced new digital trading cards, including the “MugShot Edition,” which features images of him being booked at the Fulton County Jail.
The physical cards from the MugShot collection also included pieces of the suit Trump was wearing that day and an invitation to dinner at Mar-a-Lago for anyone who purchased 47 cards in one transaction.
Per Forbes, the first two releases of the digital trading cards generated a combined $9 million in sales.
