Donald Trump has been teasing a “major announcement” for days, and he finally dropped it on Thursday.
The hype surrounding what it would be reached a fever pitch among the more MAGA-than-most contingent. Sara Carter, who often appears on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, speculated that Trump was going to run for Speaker of the House.
That never made any sense given Trump wouldn’t come close to having the votes, and I doubt he’d run for something knowing he had no chance to win. Still, others thought that the former president was going to name Kari Lake as his prospective 2024 running mate.
In the end, though, my prediction that it would be something unspectacular and cringe turned out to be right. Far from an actual major announcement, Trump is getting into the ultimate online scam: NFTs.
I’m sorry, what? Who on his team thought this was a good idea and how much are they getting paid for it? There’s no way Trump came up with this himself if for no other reason than him not being technically savvy enough (try explaining NFTs to your grandfather).
