Donald Trump’s ‘MugShot’ NFTs: A Controversial Crypto Collectible

(iexclusivenews) – The former U.S. President Donald Trump is back with another nonfungible token (NFT) collection, this time featuring his mugshot. The collection, called “MugShot”, is based on his recent arrest in Georgia over multiple criminal charges.

The NFTs are available for purchase with a credit card or Wrapped Ether (wETH), but they cannot be transferred until the end of 2024.

Buyers also need to verify their identity with KYC procedures, regardless of their payment method. The developers of the collection explained their motivation as follows: 

“We witnessed history on August 24, 2023, when President Trump was taken into custody in Fulton County, Georgia. This was the first time a U.S. President ever had a mugshot taken. In the photo, Trump looks defiant and resolute, as if he is ready to fight back.”

The NFTs are priced at $99 each, and those who buy 47 or more will receive a special bonus:

“a piece of the president’s REAL suit from his iconic mugshot & a dinner invitation at Mar-a-Lago with the [former] President.”

This is the third NFT collection launched by Trump, following his previous successes.

His wife, Melania Trump, the former First Lady of the United States, has also created her own NFT collection. 

Donald Trump’s Legal Troubles and Political Ambitions 

Donald Trump is currently running for a second non-consecutive term as the U.S. President in the 2024 election.

However, he is also facing a series of legal challenges from both state and federal authorities, accusing him of business fraud and election interference.

He has been indicted on 91 felony counts, making him the most criminally charged U.S. President in history.

Despite this, the U.S. Constitution does not prevent him from seeking office, as there is no provision that automatically disqualifies suspects or convicts from federal positions.

The only way to bar him from public office is through the 14th Amendment, which prohibits insurrectionists from holding office, but this requires Congressional action.
