In fairness to former President Trump (and I'm no supporter by any means), I think this was simply a very poorly planned deal that just so happened to have launched today. I can't imagine he or his team has anything to do with the launch today, and are all probably horrified about the timing and details of this thing.
If you look at the bottom of the website for the cards, it says, "NFT INT LLC is not owned, managed or controlled by Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization, CIC Digital LLC or any of their respective principals or affiliates. NFT INT LLC uses Donald J. Trump's name, likeness and image under paid license from CIC Digital LLC, which license may be terminated or revoked according to its terms."
This indicates to me that it was simply a licensing deal that was agreed to ... likely over a year ago (before his decision to run in 2024). The deal was probably executed in 2021 at a time when NFTs were all the rage, and some were selling for 10s of millions of dollars, with new heights being set daily as NFTs were prematurely forecasted as the next sure-thing digital currency.
The deal, which probably didn't seem so absurd at that time, most certainly contained very specific obligations from former President Trump, such as launch dates, promotion on owned media channels, and participation in advertising elements. The contracts were likely very precise and very binding, and certainly included multi-million dollar penalties for any non-fulfillment of agreed-upon obligations.
That this program launched today, in the way that it did, was very likely outside of former President Trump's or his team's control. In my opinion, it seems to be less of a political trainwreck blunder, and more of an unfortunate timing of a more well-intended business deal.

Maybe want to spend time with your Oxford dictionary one you get done reading the new definition of woman,
Selling baseball cards to people who support you and who willingly purchase those cards is not a "grift".

NFT's purchased by the same people who touted the boat rallies as a sure sign Trump was going to win in '20.
