Former First Lady and lover of Christmas Melania Trump has announced she will soon sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The first one will be available for the 2021 holiday season.
A statement announcing the new business touts it as a charitable venture, as a portion of the proceeds will be “donated to support children in the foster care community.”
As for how much of the proceeds will go to kids? Anybody’s guess — Trump’s office has not responded to questions about charity specifics.
“I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative,” Trump said.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The first must-have offering, which will be available at MelaniaTrump.com and powered by the controversial, right-wing Parler platform, is titled “Melania’s Vision.”
The statement describes it as a “breathtaking watercolor art by Marc-Antoine Coulon, and embodies Mrs. Trump’s cobalt blue eyes, providing the collector with an amulet to inspire.”

And while interested collectors won’t be able to hang their “amulet” on their wall, they can gaze into Melania’s icy blues anytime they want on their laptop. Sounds like a good investment.
Oh, and the digital painting will also come with an audio recording of Trump delivering a “message of hope.”
Given the Trump family’s extensive history of grifts, it’s no surprise that many people are questioning her intentions:
“…portion of proceeds from the sale will be "donated to support children in the foster care community," a statement said. Trump's office didn't respond to ITK's request for comment abt how much of the money will go to charitable efforts.”
One word – scam.https://t.co/HIXe9Qv6Ak

I'm not saying most #NFTs are scams operated by grifters and money launderers. I'm just saying Melania Trump is launching an #NFT.

Melania Trump has gone into the NFT business.
Her first work will be a picture of just her eyes.
If you stare at them long enough, the abyss stares back.

Mr. Stadnick
Fools and their money is her game always has been,
Sqwoah
She could take a dump and the left would call it a scam. Everything she does gets criticized for sport.
Mr. Stadnick
I guess it is because she is a scammer married to a lying bag of filth.
Vera Delmar
If Melania took a dump, I’m sure there would be a bunch of dumb tRumpster a$$holes who would pay big money for a piece of that shit. Of course, the flies would be extra charge but they could afford that!

How many did you “buy”?

I love how the right wing trolls always expose themselves by getting enraged any time anything is mentioned about Melania or Ivanka being criminals.

You do not like this site. You do not like the people here, so why not just go away. We will not miss you. I promise.

“Melania’s vision” has been super narrow since she had plastic surgery. all that squinting isn’t something to covet, even as an NFT.

Everything the trump’s do that asks for money is a scam, everything the trump’s do is to line their pockets. So yeah, this is definitely a scam. And I don’t believe either cheeto or the hooker are smart enough to come up with this thing on their own, so someone’s pulling the strings and coming up with this crap for them. Scams, Scams across the board!
jcool
and i’m sure that we’ll soon hear that melania’s nft has sold more than any nft in the history of nfts.
Heywood Jablowme
From what I’ve struggled to understand about NFTs, I have to wonder: Are we totally sure Melania is NOT an NFT?
Fahd
Lol, you can’t make this sh*t up. Melaniabot becomes more and more ridiculous with the passage of time. I hope the investigators are at the ready.
marshal phillips
Just another scam to fleece the rubes of their money.
GayEGO
Ha ha ha! Another scam to switch the donations to Melaria’s bank account!
Theweatherman
What kind of fool would purchase this? An image of artwork (a self-absorbed sketch of her eyes loosely called art) to be viewed only online for $185.22 with no mention of how much will go to charity?
MISTERJETT
everything about that awful family is a scam. everything!!!!
Jaquelope
Not knowing what an NFT was, I looked it up. After reading what it was, and what it would be of, I started to wonder, “Why would anyone want such a thing?”
CNY1983
setting herself up for an epic failure, i really dont care do u?
HankHarris
It will probably be successful – she has experience selling parts of her body

Perhaps Melania can come up with a new denomination to go along with her “fungi”?
I suggest the “harlot”.
For instance … “In Trumplandia a BJ costs two Melania harlots.”
Or would that be two Pence pence?
