However, Trump assured that they would be acquired and sold out in no time.<\/p>\n “GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!\u201d He urged.<\/em><\/p>\n While the NFT community awaits the sale turnout, Twitter users in the NFT community have expressed dissatisfaction with the move.
