Sooooooo who’s got their order in for Trump trading cards?

It's frightening how true that is. You also had chores to do. Responsibilities. Accountability. You earned any allowance. It kills me when I hear people say they have to pay their kid to take out the garbage or clean their room. Payment in my day was avoiding a crack to the back of the melon that would lift my feet off the ground if I didn't do the things expected. You learned respect. You did not get paid not to be a lazyass.

Well, here's some more lazyassness(?) for ya. I just read an article this morning where 48% of 18-29 year olds in the US are still living at home with their parent(s). The highest rate since the 1940s! Of course back then, WW2 and the Great Depression got in the way and I'm sure most were living at home helping their parents with the ranch/farm. Anyway, 51% percent stated they were living at home to save on paying rent. However, only 1 in 5 of the stay homers even pay rent and that 1 is paying $500 or less/month. 36% stated they were living at home to save for the future. Commendable. Then the A** KICKER is revealed! The sales of MASSIVE amounts of LUXURY items are being sold to these same basement dwellers. A rep for a site keeping track of this, stated the huge increase of luxury items sales is tracked back to the 18-29 yoas! More student loan forgiveness anyone? Absolutely astounding!

More like sickening. Back in my day when you graduated High School you were expected to get a job and your own place or go to college. If you lived at home you paid room and board.

And with the rest of your money, I'll bet you were out buying LUXURY items? LOL Your right, sickening is more appropriate. Doesn't bode well for the future of our country.

The good old days. Now most high school kids would think you're speaking a foreign language. They are not familiar with the words "gross, net, board, cig, qts or God".

Unlike actual cards, like baseball cards, you can't even put these in the spokes of your bike

Given the divide in the Republican party rather than seeking the presidency my preference for Donald Trump would be as a campaigner for election reform possibly including a rapid mechanism for recall when BS such as happened in 2020 happens. If systems were put in place that provided for one person one note and only one vote and tallied as the ballot was completed by the voter, history would recognize Donald Trump as a pivotal figure in saving the democracy.

Nope. Didn't earn enough for any luxuries at $4.00 a day in the woods. Enough for a tank of gas on the weekend (25 cents/gal), pack of cigs once a week (25 cents), a few clothes. We did go rollerskating Sat nites. That took a few bucks. I did that for about a year, worked on a road crew for a year, then enlisted in the Navy.

When Trump is hyping digital cards, it's not a good sign.

Edit: I stand corrected, sold out, raised $4,365,000 in less then 24 hours.

 

[Doug3006]

He did some good things as President, but he is a huckster at heart. Selling NFTs to capitalize on his notoriety is right in his wheelhouse. I love it when people try to shift the blame for this to one of his underlings. This is a signature DJT project!

PT Barnum was right….but he vastly underestimated the birth rate of suckers.

Trump is on self destruct mode. Perhaps a slower acting mode than Kanye West's but self destruct mode none the less.

Yep, just made 4.3 mil off what are certainly his most loyal supporters. The money doesn't even go to his campaign - just his pocket. I wonder how many of his working class supporters who "invested" in one or more of these things realize they are making the rich man richer.

 

[bowjijohn]

I don’t begin to understand what he was flogging, but as an outsider, that brief image of him talking ….

makes your present President sound like Einstein

I used to like him and his message

but today?

today, he has the political smell and appeal of old socks

Most of us in the west - on all sides of the pond are tired of fools being the only leadership choices

 

[RTG]

Wish I knew how to make 4.3 million dollars, today. Maybe powerball.

NFT’s are stupid. People who buy them are stupid, or corrupt (money laundering). The fact that there is more critisim of this, than that Obama left office 100 times richer than he entered, well that is also stupid and a pretty good example of what’s wrong with our nation/media.

Outrage left and right controlled by flashing idiot boxes in everyones home. This is not an issue. If Trump made money, good for him.
