This signals the end of any serious effort on The Donald's part to remain a viable contender for president. This was trolling, pure and simple, and not worthy of the man who once was great, pace Victor Davis Hanson.

Not to keep dunking on this, but this is starting to feel the presidential campaign remake of Spinal Tap.
I can’t wait for the “his reach is becoming more selective” moment.
PUPPET SHOW

Says these make great Christmas gifts... About as meaningful as naming a star after somebody.
Also says they're selling for 99 bucks a pop. For a digital image? Not even for a NFT? Good grief, somebody will post them for free within a week, probably on a site with the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

So how many people donated to JEB! or Romney so they can brag about the fact that they get a Holiday Card every year. This scam takes many forms, of which this is one. But as usual, those who don't like Trump on style points tend not to look at themselves in the mirror a whole lot, Not as classy as getting your picture with the candidate for 2500, but no different.

Whatever happened to just sending out a Christmas card? It's not worth $99.
As for 2024, wait and see who else is running. Won't vote for any globalista uniparty RINO.

Someone here once viewed the 45th Presidency as a lightning-in-a-bottle moment. Perhaps it was, but it exposed the deep state and let everyone know the staggering challenge we're facing. It's apparent that since then the combined efforts of democrats, the entrenched bureaucracy, and the media have succeeded in their marginalization efforts. Trump or bust is now pure folly and it's time to regroup and come up with a new strategy to retake the White House and win the Senate in 2024. Rule #1: There are no perfect candidates.

This is cringeworthy, we must admit. Ugh. Haven’t we sensed for awhile that the “fire in the belly” required to battle the gates of hell AGAIN just isn’t there this time? I would not blame him because as tough as he always comes across, the theft of that hard-earned 2020 victory was devastating.

Digital schmidgital. I've been collecting trading cards (mostly baseball) since the early 70s when I was still a wee one. To this very day, if it isn't a piece of cardboard that I can hold in my hand, I'm not interested.

Although this sensationalism may have been intended with a sense of humor and to troll his adversaries, the reality is, it is a heart-wrenching disappointment. It is sincerely hoped that this faux pas will be President Trump’s one and only and he will rise above the fray and get back to the brilliant, personable strategist he has been to this point in time.
This said, if President Trump has reached the point where he is weary and regrets his having announced his candidacy for the 2024 presidential campaign, it is understandable and those of us who have admired and respected this man would “release” him from his promise to not stop fighting for America and “we, the people.” The array of irrational, reprehensible hatred, animosity, schemes, plots, viciousness, ad infinitum against this man and his family is beyond what most sane, God-fearing people have ever seen in a lifetime. May the peace of God be with President Trump and his family and may he be guided and protected by our Lord to follow the path destiny has set for him.

This is a cheap, tacky display of money grubbing. There is no way this ego-maniac can win a general election in 2024 - none. I'm not sure anybody can get through to Trump, but I'm hoping his kids can convince him to depart the political stage before he destroys himself.

Let’s face it. Trump is losing support quickly and one of the reasons is stunts like this. Yes, I loved his policies and he did a lot things really well. He is a world class negotiator. But he’s turned himself into an unserious self-absorbed carnival barker. This didn’t have to happen. But it did.

We are not children. To have to look deeper to try to "decode" information from a prominent leader insults our intelligence and the grave situation we find ourselves and our nation in. He presumes we are children to be distracted by shiny... cards?! Former presidents would not look kindly on President Trump for this stunt. It is infantile and unworthy of him. It shows a distinct lack if respect for American Patriots. President Trump is always commenting about what a mess the country is right now...
J6
Open boarder
Drug crisis
Out of control crime
Stolen elections
Lack of leadership
Staggering inflation
Soaring fuel costs
Food prices through the roof..
These things sir require immediate focused attention.
And you announce... playing cards?
Really sir, it is beneath contempt

Extending profound gratitude to Ldotter’s posts #28 and #31 calling attention to the reality and substance of President Trump’s actual announcement today which is far more meaningful and of substance than the headline-grabbing attention evoked by the author and publisher of this document.
Ldotter’s post #28 provides a link to the announcement on Truth Social but for individuals not subscribing to the platform, there is a video that runs 6:51 and available at Right Side Broadcasting’s website:
https://www.rsbnetwork.com/featured/president-trump-details-his-plans-to-fight-for-freedom-of-speech-12-15-22/
The author of this article focused on the digital trading cards and “shaped” the news in a manner worthy of accolades from the Deep State, RINOs and other PDJT adversaries.
The actual announcement is typically profound and outlines President Trump’s plans to fight for the restoration and protection of free speech in this country which is vital to this country’s survival and the survival of western civilization. It is hoped that at some point the transcript will be made available and shared far and wide by President Trump’s advocates. Enough cannot be said about the substance of what he plans IF elected as president in 2024.
This announcement was not a fool’s errand. This announcement quite likely terrorizes those in positions of power and communication, as well as federal government employees involved in censorship, due to the extent and manner in which President Trump plans to restore and protect free speech in this country.
The essence of this article, deliberate or otherwise, is shameful. As with all liberal purpose, throw out sensationalism, grab the attention of people, let the claim/charge/dishonesty do its damage, and not worry about truth coming out later because the intentional damage has been done. Beyond shameful!
And shame on those of us who fell for the ploy! Needless to say, liberals play for keeps and the intensity of misrepresentation in many forms will be prevalent up to the November 5, 2024 presidential election and beyond.
Please, take the time to watch the video and listen to the superb, brilliant, typically President Trump laser-focus to do what has to be done. May God bless him, his family, and have mercy on this country.

Long time before the first primary votes are cast. We will see. But if Trump is dead, where are the other candidates? Gutless, business as usual,
milquetoast, nobodies who stand for nothing. Good luck.

Whatever FPDT was “announcing”, it came across like a fellow stepping in dog stuff and walking into your house.
His post was clear: “ MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting.
Whatever else he was trying to convey, such as his commitment to restore free speech got lost in this nonsense. Imagine, had Joe Biden done this and announced he was going to reduce inflation. This will be fodder for every late night comic for weeks.

#32 -- Oh please. So it was a trick? A silly, childish trick? Give us a break. If that was "the plan" then it is even more pathetic than what we thought. I am really starting to have disdain for this guy. The stakes are too high for his nonsense. We can't let the Dems keep the White House.

Literally the dumbest, cringiest, most embarrassing fail I have ever seen. It's just shocking. He hypes a big announcement: it's a big set of cartoon trading cards online of himself. Then hours later says, oh by the way, here's some important policy ideas I have, which is drowned out by the cards. Pure clown car stuff. In his words, sad. Just my opinion (and millions of others, I am sure.)

#35, Thank you for clearing up the misinformation that spread so quickly through this thread. I urge all you naysayers to go to the link provided by Poster #35. That is the announcement that President Trump wanted us to hear. All of you jumping on here to dis President Trump should be ashamed. You are no better than any rabid democrat. Come on, you are becoming so obvious in your zeal to take down Preaident Trump that it is embarrassing. Just go listen to his announcement.

#32 that is a disrespectful comment.
We are not fools. President Trump is a fool for doing what he did. He is clearly not a serious person and is out if touch with the suffering in this country.
No one is interested in his 6 minute "make up" video. We are adults and should be treated as such. He has shown American Patriots complete disrespect. It is immature and unstatesman like on his part.
Very poor form

Poster 35 nope. Not interested. He showed a breathtaking lack of respect today. Like many others I'm shocked and sickened at his lack of tact. I'm moving on and I'm not alone.
I have said before these are serious times in America. It requires serious people with serious ideas and solutions.
He has shown us today... he is not one of them. I am profoundly disappointed.

LOL, I can hardly wait to see the replacement some high and mighty posters think will be worthy of their vote. Is it Ron? Who else could it be? OK, I'm sure the well oiled vote fraud machine and the uniparty swamp won't be in full attack mode for him.
Anyway, if you don't understand that their slob can shower with his grown daughter, brag about international blackmail and not even bother to pretend to campaign and still win, you are delusional. President Trump, ooh I probably should not use the word President, right? President Trump can not make a mistake, ever. Not one. We needed an outlaw to DC and now he has to be someone the media won't mock. Newsflash, they will destroy ANYONE who scares them and the truth scares them. Just like some posters. Float a name you like, because you better get started NOW to make him Presidential, at least in your minds, because the pedo has all of DC, media and hollywood behind him.

And of course NO ONE would ever be able 'fake' a tweet and make it

Show me a video or a link that works to a video of Trump himself announcing these cards
and I MIGHT change my mind but until then I'll stick with #16 and #40

I hope The Donald reads this thread. We are the hardest of his hard core, and if he has lost us . . . I think DJT did great things as our President, and we needed eight years, not just four. (And I do believe the election was stolen). But the greatest service he could render now to the country he loves, and to us, would be to play the elder statesman, to be the kingmaker instead of the king. It’s remarkable how quickly things can change, but they have, and his ship has sailed.

So, who was really behind this false flag?
Dems, globalists, the GOPe?
Turned out President Trump made a great announcement about how he could immediately, on Day 1 of his presidency, protect our 1st, 2nd and 5th Amendment rights.
His plan to fire people in gov't involved in trying to remove our free speech right was included.
And more.
Go find it.

#40~ Thank you from a longtime admirer for a very much appreciated reinforcement on behalf of President Trump’s thoroughgoing outline of what he would do to protect free speech in America. The inundation of negative poster comments raises the suspicion of a collective effort to undermine President Trump and his hopes for winning the 2024 presidential election.
#42~ “Nope” and “not interested” speak volumes. Serious people wanting serious ideas and solutions will support President Trump. “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." (George Washington)
#48~ Sundance published a noteworthy recap of President Trump’s announcement which was posted to this website at 5:17 Thursday (12/15/22): “President Trump Announces Plan to Protect Free Speech and Digital Bill of Rights”
