What happened

He met the one-day deadline, but the 'major announcement' on December 15, 2022 — three weeks after launching his 2024 campaign — was a $99 line of 45,000 digital trading cards depicting him as an astronaut, cowboy and superhero, with fine print noting they had 'no inherent monetary value.' The run sold out in roughly twelve hours for about $4.45 million and secondary-market volume collapsed by January 2023.
