Donald Trump's first NFT collection sells out in less than a day

The first NFT collection from former President Donald Trump sold out less than a day after going on sale, giving its creators a nearly $4.5 million windfall.

The businessman-turned-politician rolled out the "Trump digital trading cards" on Thursday in a widely hyped announcement. The video opens with an animated image of Trump dressed in a superhero outfit shooting laser beams out of his eyes. The cartoonish graphic is followed by the real Trump.

"This is Donald Trump, hopefully your favorite president of all time, better than Lincoln, better than Washington," Trump, who recently declared himself a candidate for president in 2024, says in the video.
