‘Pathetic attention grab’: Trump brutally mocked after his major announcement turns out to be ‘just a grift’

Raw Story  

Donald Trump hyped a "major announcement" that turned out to be a commercial for digital trading cards, which some saw as a sign he's "losing the plot." "So Trump's 'MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT' was actually just a grift to promote a bunch of worthless trading cards," tweeted conservative Ben Kew, editor-at-large for Human Events. "I think we might be underrating the odds that the 2024 Trump campaign will be what everyone initially assumed the 2016 Trump campaign would be," tweeted Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins. "Sure, inflation is wrecking the economy, Russia and China are on the move, the culture war wages at home, but at least presidential candidate Donald Trump is offering voters Trump Digital Trading Cards they can buy for $99 each," wrote Fox News breaking news editor Chris Pandolfo.
