ALTHOUGH Donald Trump may have pivoted to politics, he's reminding supporters of his roots as a businessman with his latest sale. The Republican presidential candidate told supporters that he's launching a new deck of trading cards and those who purchase $1,500 worth will receive a piece of his suit. "Back by popular demand, my TRUMP DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, Series 4: The America First Collection, is available RIGHT NOW, and I think you’ll love it!" he announced on Truth Social alongside a video of him talking in front of American flags.
The collection includes 50 new digital trading cards that feature pictures of Trump dancing and posing in superhero costumes. He's also pictured holding Bitcoins in some of the cards. There are multiple tiers of perks for those who purchase one of his digital trading cards.
For those who buy 15 digital cards, a physical card will be sent in the mail along with a piece of Trump's suit that he wore to debate President Joe Biden. “People are calling it the knock-out suit,” Trump said in the video. “I don’t know about that but that’s what they’re calling it.
” He added that the suit marked a "piece of presidential history." Each digital trading card is priced at $99, so supporters will have to purchase a total of $1,485 worth of digital cards to receive the physical card and piece of Trump's suit. "This is something to give your family, kids, your grandchildren," he added.
Trump explained that those who purchase the $1,485 worth of digital cards will receive a small piece of the fabric he wore when he debated Biden. Five of those pieces will also be autographed by the former president. The second tier of prizes is for those who purchase 75 digital trading cards, a price point of $7,425.
They will receive a piece of Trump's suit, a physical card, and an invitation to join the former president for a gala at his private club in Jupiter, Florida. "We really have tremendous dinners with my collectors, we have a lot of fun together, we'll have a great time," he continued in the video. Supporters must put in their e-mail addresses to purchase the cards and can pay with cryptocurrency or their credit cards.
"They call me the crypto president - I don't know if that's true or not but a lot of people are saying that, so don't miss out," Trump said. "We're going to have a lot of fun, we'll be talking about this for a long time," Trump continued. Trump's digital trading cards are a staple in his campaign.
He previously sold The MugShot Edition cards in December after he was indicted on election interference charges in August 2023. Trump also included pieces of the suit he wore when he was arrested to those who bought 47 cards. His first round of digital trading cards was launched in 2022 and they sold out in less than a day.
Trump is cutting up the suit he wore to debate Biden as a prize for his digital card collectors. Trump and Biden debated one another on June 27 , hosted by CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Biden entered the debate with increasing fears of his age and mental fitness as Trump needed to prove his appeal to moderates.
Biden failed to ease concerns he could beat Trump in November, and calls quickly came from Democrats for him to step aside . He stood firm in his intent to run and chalked up his debate performance to a "bad night." Biden explained that he was exhausted from previously traveling for the anniversary of D-Day in France and the G7 meeting in Italy.
"I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know: I know how to tell the truth," he reiterated at a rally soon after in North Carolina.
However, after multiple appearances in the press and a continued push on the campaign, Biden ended his bid for re-election on July 21 in a letter to the nation . Vice President Kamala Harris quickly stepped in as the Democratic nominee and formally accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention on August 22. Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that a new edition of trading cards were on sale.
His full statement is below, "Hello everyone this is your favorite president Donald J. Trump with some very exciting news. Back by popular demand, I'm doing a new series of Trump Digital Trading Cards.

Even though Trump and Biden's debate marked the beginning of the end of Biden's re-election bid, Trump also made some blunders himself.
Politifact tracked 15 false statements Trump made, while the New York Times cited 20 and another 21 that were misleading or lacked context. The Associated Press corrected 11 false statements from Trump and four from Biden. In comparison, Politifact pointed out three false statements from Biden, and the New York Times found zero.
While Biden has dropped out of the race, Trump will have another chance to prove his debating skills against a new challenger. The debate has sparked back and forth between Harris and Trump since Harris launched her presidential campaign. After weeks of controversy, the two agreed to debate in the swing state of Pennsylvania moderated by ABC News on September 10.
