The Donald Trump NFT meme surfaced in December 2022 following a 'major announcement' from the former president, which turned out to be a collection of digital trading cards. Featuring Trump in various heroic guises—including a superhero, an astronaut, and a sheriff—the artwork quickly became a target for internet satire due to its distinct, airbrushed aesthetic and unexpected subject matter. Despite the heavy mockery from critics, the collection sold out almost instantly, fueling a second wave of memes regarding the intersection of politics and cryptocurrency. Today, these templates are used to lampoon political branding, celebrity merchandise, and the sheer absurdity of the NFT era.
