With Donald Trump likely facing yet another federal indictment over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election after receiving a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith this week, Melania Trump appears to be focused on securing her financial future should her 77-year-old husband wind up in prison.
The ex-FLOTUS just released another limited-edition nonfungible token on her website. The digital coin celebrates Apollo 11’s moon landing on July 20, 1969 and features the iconic photo of NASA Astronaut Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface.
There’s just one problem: NASA doesn’t approve.
Melania unveiled her new Apollo 11-themed collection called “Man on the Moon” yesterday, one day before the 54th anniversary of the historic space mission. The NFT costs $75 and also includes an embedded audio file that collectors will unlock upon completing their purchase… with cryptocurrency, of course.
While NASA generally makes its images available free of charge for educational and informational purposes, NFTs are another story.
According its Regulations for Merchandising Requests: “NASA is not approving any merchandising applications involving Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), as they are not consistent with the categories of products the Agency is approved to merchandise.”
And according to its Media Usage Guidelines, when it comes to NFTs, “NASA does not wish for its images to be used for these purposes.”
Leave it to Melania to disregard the space agency’s policies to further enrich herself.
Unfortunately, there’s not much NASA can actually do about it, however, since its imagery is technically in the public domain and she’s already sold 22 of the 500 NFTs on her website, at the time of writing this morning.
The space agency hasn’t commented on the ex-FLOTUS’ latest grift, but Twitter has a lot to say about the matter. Here’s what people are saying…
she's still doing this?https://t.co/y7FYBXuRpG

The ironic thing is that most of her and tfg’s circle and supporters think the moon landing was fake. #Grifter

“Man on the Moon” is the second NFT collection Melania has released this summer. Over the 4th of July holiday, she unveiled her six-piece “1776 Collection” featuring images of various landmarks across the United States, including the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and the Liberty Bell, set to “a patriotic-themed music track.”
But her NFT business only appears to be a supplemental income for the ex-FLOTUS. Last week, it was reported that the bulk of her earnings actually come from giving paid speeches.
Since leaving Washington, D.C., Melania has earned $1.2 million in “speaking fees”, including $155,000 for a speech she gave in Palm Beach, Florida in December 2021, paid for by the Trump-aligned super PAC called Make America Great Again, Again.
The ex-president responded to receiving yet another target letter from Jack Smith this week with an ALL CAPS rant posted on his Truth Social platform.
The target letter reportedly lists three federal statutes: conspiracy to commit offense or to defraud the United States, deprivation of rights under a civil rights statute, and tampering with a witness, victim or an informant.

‘IRS Whistleblower X – revealed as gay Democrat Joe Ziegler – compares coming forward in Hunter case to ‘coming out’’
RS Criminal Investigator Joseph Ziegler showed his face for the first time after blowing the whistle on preferential treatment in the Hunter Biden case
Ziegler joined fellow IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley to present their testimony on how they were prevented from carrying out a normal probe into Hunter Biden
Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith made an appearance to insist the IRS is not treating all Americans fairly – specifically those with the last name Biden
Whistleblower X – unmasked as the lead IRS investigator on the Hunter Biden probe Joseph Ziegler – confirmed that the Biden family has accepted over $17 million in foreign payments, with over half going to Hunter Biden.
Though no article on Queerty regarding a queer related political story?
It’s awesome the Whistleblower is part of the LGBTQ, and a Democrat.
Of course Queerty gives him no recognition for being brave and coming forward. Doesn’t fit their narrative. Sad that’s what they choose over journalism.

Thank you Walter Cronkite.

Abfab,
All of your comments — and there’s a ton of them — offer no substance, or rebuttal.
Continue on with the immature responses.
Or the but but but but but Trump…
abfab
Shmuck For Trump. Go away.
abfab
ps Shmuck…..I’m so happy you’re keeping count of posts here. It shows you care. Wait, you can count? Did you learn from Donald how to do that?
abfab
Regarding rebuttals, Shmuck, why don’t we save those for the POS’s attorneys as we see his fat ass in court, again, and again and again. Such a terrific ex President he is. You must be SO PROUD!

Shouldn’t you be posting on a KKK, neo-Nazi or other extreme right-wing site rather than queerty?
GaysForTrump
RoyM. Read the comments, the vile and hate coming from yours and the like.
Let’s play a game. You post a racist comment/quote from Trump. And I’ll follow up with Biden’s.
Let’s see who can last longer.
Biden on Obama:
“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man,” Biden told The New York Observer in 2007.
Wow. First time in 2007. No other African Americans were articulate or bright, and clean before then?
abfab
Pull out your Candy Land and Shoots And Ladders. Games you’re able to play.

I wonder if she enjoys her jewels ”al dente”?
abfab
Malania. Hurry up and get cremated. You can put your ashes in one of these cheap trinkets! Imagine the sales!
abfab
And now McCarthy says he will ”move to expunge”. So what, who cares. The POS will be busy until his last breath with lawyers who know he’s guilty as shit on every count.
jackmister
She can always go back to pole dancing. Lots of MAGAts would pay to see that.

Soon she’ll have to pay them.

A griter’s gotta grift so give the ho a break she is selling the modern equivatent on a pet rock. If it isn’t this she’ll be forsed into walking the streets of Palm Beach calling out to old men asking if they want a good time.

She used that same line when she first laid her eyes on the POS.

I’m sure she’s counting the days till trump dies so she can inherit the estate then move on to the next wealthy old man.
Mack
Somehow I don’t think she’s in the will. She is in a paid marriage so i guess her contract would give her something but not the bulk. I think the bulk goes to the two older sons.

All those diamonds, exiting her body. I hope she’s ready.

What else would one expect from a Slovenian hooker? She’s too old for the $6 bjs she gave before she met the orange crap-pile and a skanky old lady needs to make a living…
ScottOnEarth
In honor of how she usually makes money, she should create an NFT called “Man on Melania” or “Landing on My Back.” This women is pitiful.
abfab
Has she never heard of passion crimes, or Malania, crimes of passion? She’s a Trump, she can get away with murder. Think of all the delicious ways she can knock him out for good.

Questions for the “GaysForTrump”
My questions are genuine and not to attack you.
How can you be for a person who has constantly been against you? Has enacted and supported laws that are against your interest? How can you cling to, or delude yourself in believing that you are part of an organization (The Republican Party) which consists of people who not only hate you but insist that you are not part of their organization – but they will accept donations (but not your booths at GOP events)?
Have you allowed yourself to seriously think about your position and how much it validates their negative view of you? Do you never entertain the possibility that if the more extreme people of the Republican Party got their way they would enact laws that would make your very existence a crime that is punishable by long-term imprisonment or worse?
If I am wrong in my questioning please reply and explain to me why I am wrong.
I started out as a registered Republican voter. That was a long time ago when the party was led by people who were the complete opposite of the characters who now lead it (Mitch, Ryan, Margeret, Lauren and etc.). I do believe that the leaders back then would either have bolted from the party of, if they were alive and with the same views, would be ejected from the party.
I can see Blacks like Scott and the Lt. governor of North Carolina being Republicans – but I don’t agree with them – because they are self-marketing themselves in less conventional ways than most Blacks and assume that they will get enough Whites to support for them to win.
I think that if you can answer my questions and others in a convincing way you might alter the negative views that so many have of you. If your explanation could be convincing enough you might end up converting some to your side in this.
