Exactly one month ago today, former President Donald Trump officially declared his candidacy in the 2024 election. Trump did this despite calls in the GOP for him to wait until after the Georgia runoff race wrapped up.

In the month since the former president entered the race, he's generated a series of back-to-back PR nightmares.

Having dinner with Holocaust deniers Nick Fuentes and Kanye West certainly is up there on the list. Then, there are Trump's deranged demands via Truth Social for the termination of the US Constitution and the installment of failed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake.

Earlier this week, Trump announced that today, December 15, would be the day he makes a "great announcement."

The "great announcement" in question turned out to be nothing more than $99 per piece NFT trading cards with Trump poorly photoshopped onto fit, male physiques.

Is this real life?

In an announcement widely deemed by the internet as cringe-inducing, Trump's NFT card collection portrays him as Superman, an astronaunt, a Lone Ranger, and other characters.

It is worth noting that many NFT releases have turned out to be scams. On social media, critics warned that "Trump Cards" appear scammy as well.

Left-wingers were not the only ones to criticize the former president and the optics of him releasing "limited edition digital trading cards" that are "only" $99.00.

The comments section on conservative social media accounts, such as Newsmax, raised questions about what Trump was thinking. Some of these folks stated the president would be better served focusing on the interests of the American people.

Some conservatives declared it is time to move on from Trump. Many with this view expressed support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis running for president in the 2024 election. Already, multiple polls and betting markets have DeSantis considerably ahead of Trump.

Who's advising Trump?

If the release of Trump-themed NFT cards was meant to revive the president's bad image after weeks of negative press, it missed the mark big time. At this point, many inquiring minds are wondering who's advising Trump and influencing his decisions.

Today's latest stunt only adds to a series of events that are convincing more and more Americans the time has come to leave Trump in the rearview mirror.
