<\/p>\nOn 23 August 2023, former U.S. President Donald Trump skipped the first Republican primary debate hosted by Fox News to interview former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who now has his own show on Elon Musk\u2019s X platform.<\/p>\n
This interview, which so far has had over 177 million views, seems to have helped to significantly raise the floor price of the \u201cTrump Digital Trading Cards\u201d NFT collection, which features 45,000 unique images of former U.S. President Donald Trump and was launched in December 2022.<\/p>\n
As you can see from the screenshot below, on the NFT marketplace OpenSea, in the past 24-hour period, the floor price for these NFTs has surged 30% to 0.1369 ETH (worth roughly $227.66 at the time of writing).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Trump talked about these NFTs in December 2022 during an interview on One America News (OAN) show \u201cWeekly Briefing With Chanel Rion.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I knew nothing about them, and then a group came. And I loved the art. They showed me the art\u2026 it\u2019s comic book art when you think of it, but they showed me the art, and I said I always wanted to have a 38-inch waist, but I\u2019m looking at this stuff, and I am saying, \u2018that\u2019s sort of cute, that might sell.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThey thought it would sell in six months; it sold in six hours. And it set like a record, I understand. It\u2019s been incredible. You know, if you bought a card for $99, I guess it\u2019s much, much higher than that. And I heard the Wall Street Journal or somebody say it was the investment of the year.<\/em><\/p>\n
