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 grifter 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.

As far as I’m aware. I read the comic it’s a part of. They went to Egypt to try to excavate a tomb IIRC, but I’m probably conflating two different comics.

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.

Wow, just looked it up you appear to be correct 👍

Although from what I see he did have a mugshot taken in Fulton county but the famous one is fake

If only Donald was larger than 6’3" and 215 lbs he might have more suit pieces to go around!

$1,000 says that:
a) that’s not the actual suit he wore
and
b) there’s a lot more than a single suit worth of fabric up for sale.

The former president has released a series of digital trading cards priced at $99 each and anyone who buys all 47 will receive a physical card containing a piece of the “priceless” navy suit and be invited to a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

They aren’t even selling the suit. They’re selling digital trading cards, LMAO. Collect em all and get a piece of garbage and cheeseburder.

If I thought there was actually a dinner at the end of it and that I could talk to him I would go just to be like

“Yo, you’re the guy on the cards. I didn’t know you actually existed”

“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.”

This may be the most honest and down-to-earth thing he’s ever said

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 would think that this is less trackable. Trump is under a microscope in several courts and if they found that 100 people stayed in the same suite on the same night and nobody actually showed up then it’s a bright red flag. But selling chunks of suit in the mail? It’s unorthodox by design.

What I mean is that, at $10000 a night, you can book a 10 day stay and fork over $100k for what looks like a regular stay at a hotel resort.

Buying 10000 pieces of suit in the mail is… Well, okay, I don’t know what that is. You’re right about unorthodox, JFC.
