I’d be willing to bet even if you pay the 5,000 you wouldn’t be getting fabric from that actual suit. Donald Duck is such a grift even his grifts are grifts

Don't call this POS Donald Duck. Donald Duck canonically is a War Vet with PTSD that constantly was griping at Scrooge for not helping the community enough. Donald Duck is based AF.
Plus he didn't have pants to cut up

In the 90s there were enough “pieces of the Berlin Wall” going around to build the Great Wall of China. I suspect it will be something similar.
There's a little monument in my city that has a piece of the Berlin Wall on a stone pedestal. There's a plaque commemorating the fall of the wall. Underneath is a smaller, newer plaque that says "this is not a real piece of the Berlin Wall"
I wonder if they got grifted by one of those fakes in the 90s, that would explain it
There are legitimate pieces of the Berlin Wall. You just need to have a picture of it before it came down and you can identify it by the graffiti.
It's a time-honored tradition:

As all legitimate billionaires do.
It's weird how we don't see Gates, Musk, Zuckerberg, etc., hawking NFTs of themselves.
This is literally turn-of-the-20th-century huckster bullshit lol
How do his people fall for this
I mean, just look at religion. People are stupid.
There's a new sucker born every minute.

I laugh a bit every time I think of some teabagger dumbass falling for donnie's "never surrender" nonsense when it's an actual picture of him surrendering.

I wonder how many suits could be made with all the sold pieces.
Out of the regular suit?
Because there's no way he'll stop selling pieces claiming it came from that suit. I'd be surprised if any are honestly, I bet Rudy (or some other idiot) found a bag of scraps at a tailorshop and that's what they're selling.

It's this the presidential version of Belle Delphines bath water? It's Trump getting an onlyfans next?
I suspect money laundering or illegal donations. It'll sell out, just like his NFT playing cards. Not because people like my dad are clamoring for it, but because people that can't give him money publicly will buy them.
Aren't there more effective ways to do this, like $10000 a night stays at mar-a-lago?
This stuff does seem, at least, to be aimed at the shit munchers

“I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you,” the former president says in the video.
“They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.”
Hey look, he actually can tell the truth.
The ones who argued his public mugshot would lose him supporters were idiots. Always got my comments buried for saying rhat and how the first thing he'd do was market his mugshot and exploit it for his political brand yet here we are.

Nothing says “I’m so rich” like a fundraiser selling pieces of your clothing.
How much for the diaper he wore?
I only support his grifting because it's taking away money that would otherwise be going to reelecting Republicans.
Never before washed
Edit: as an aside, it was super funny to me to watch Trump deny he's obsessed with Golden Showers by saying he's a germaphobe.
Its like, dude, you and I both know full well that urine is sterile. What say u now?
It's not completely sterile, there is some bacteria: https://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/kidney-urinary/urine-sterile.htm

"he's so broke, he has to literally sell the clothes off his back."
-defense attorney in ny state fraud trial
Given Trump's penchant for grifting and fraud, I'm wondering if he kept the suit, had someone buy a series of similar looking suits as cheaply as possible, and then cut those up to sell. Why would he care if the hunk of fabric that he SAID came from his suit actually came from some thrift store find?
Why would he even have to cut a suit. Knowing this fraud piece of shit, he probably just sourced the cheapest fabric that looks like the fabric of his suit and sells chunks of fabric that was never part of anything.
He truly does love America because a not insignificant portion of the population are absolutely dumb as bricks and will gleefully join a cult that fleeces them.

Selling relics. "Not a cult."
So I could go to a thrift store, buy a blue suit for $20, cut it up and sell the pieces on Ebay?
What, like on his OnlyFans or something?
Looks like something 'obvious plant' would sell as a joke. Someone really needs money.
I’m surprised they aren’t selling his urine as a cure for Covid.
This can't be right, there is like hundreds of thousands of pieces of this suit.
pieces them all together
Welp, guess he's just a fat ass.
Note that Trump announced his campaign super early because he wanted to paint the legal cases against him as political. This actually restricts how much he can fundraise from a given person.
So rather than try to expand his political appeal he is "selling" NFTs and tiny pieces of clothing for thousands of dollars to people who have already donated the maximum amount.
Ah, more dumb grifts, for dumb people.

That illustration in the video is bonkers. Looks like someone asked an AI to make a mashup of Putin and Trump. Is that what Donnie thinks he looks like?

Trump's happy retirement, long dreamed of, where no one expects him to be anything but a grifter.
