Donald Trump Unveils NFT Featuring ‘MugShot’ Theme Amid His Criminal Indictments

Donald Trump is selling his mugshot from August arrest in the form of NFTs.

Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, announced a new NFT drop featuring the “Mugshot” theme. This will be the ex-POTUS’ third non-fungible token release, and as suggested in its name, the tokens are related to Trump’s ongoing criminal charges in the U.S.

Trump also revealed his new NFTs on social media by posting snippets with the caption that reads: “Never Surrender!” He will offer pieces of suit from his own Fulton County arrest.

How to Purchase the New Mugshot-themed Digital Tokens

The latest NFT drop of the former American leader was unveiled on Dec. 12. According to CoinTelegraph, NFT enthusiasts may buy Trump’s digital trading cards using either a credit card or Wrapped Ether (wETH). It should be noted that the collectibles are not transferrable for a year, which means they cannot be resold until Dec. 31, 2024.

Moreover, to buy the MugShot NFTs, the purchasers must provide Know Your Customer (KYC) information even if they opt to pay using cryptocurrencies. As posted on the official website of the digital collection, the NFT will showcase “a moment in history.”

It said that it was the first-ever mugshot of a United States President, and it was taken in August when Trump was formally arrested in Fulton County in Georgia. In the photo description, they wrote: “Trump has a furrowed brow with a determined gaze which says he’ll never surrender.”

Price, Dinner Offer, and Other Details

CNBC noted that the 45th president of the U.S. has found a new means of monetizing his now-infamous mugshot. Aside from the photo of Trump, the NFT will also feature snippets of the suit he wore in the picture.

Each of the NFTs is sold at $99, but if users buy 47 or more of the digital trading cards, they are also eligible to receive a physical card with an actual fragment of the suit he wore in the mugshot. What’s more, an NFT package worth $4,653 includes a dinner with Donald Trump that will take place at his Mar-a-Lago club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
