Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, is taking a risk by entering the world of nonfungible tokens (NFTs) again with the start of his third NFT drop. His latest collection, “MugShot,” is based on the theme of his ongoing criminal charges.
The MugShot NFTs were released on December 12 and are trade cards that can be bought with a credit card or Wrapped Ether (wETH). One special thing about this, though, is that these digital assets won’t be able to be moved until December 31, 2024. Users must give know-your-customer (KYC) information in order to buy NFTs, even if they choose to pay with cryptocurrency.
The collection is based on the official arrest of President Trump in Fulton County, Georgia, on August 24, 2023. This event was a turning point in history. At this event, the first picture of a U.S. President was taken. The striking picture shows Trump with a furrowed brow and a determined look, representing the spirit of strength with the words “Never surrender.”
The chance to get “a piece of the president’s actual suit from his famous mugshot and dinner at Mar-a-Lago with the [former] President” is available to people who buy 47 or more digital playing cards. Each card costs $99 plus shipping. This latest drop in NFTs comes after Trump’s past successful attempts to get into the NFT space. Melania Trump, who used to be First Lady, has also made a name for herself by starting her own NFT line.

In the middle of all these artistic projects, it’s important to remember that the Former President is actively running for a second, non-consecutive term as president in the 2024 election. Trump, on the other hand, is caught in a legal web. State and federal officials have charged him with 91 felonies. There are claims of business fraud and efforts to overturn the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election among these charges.
It is interesting to note that the U.S. Constitution does not have any clauses that automatically stop people who are facing criminal charges from running for government office. The 14th Amendment says that people with guilty records can’t hold public office.
However, this can’t happen without action from Congress. While Trump figures out how to follow the law in this area, his unusual approach to NFTs is another part of his story after leaving office.
