Trump triggered speculation this week that he would run for president again when he said he would make a major announcement, but it turned out to be a promotional video on his (mis-named) social media platform, Truth Social.
There was an animated clip featuring in front of the Trump Tower in New York ripping open his shirt to reveal a superhero costume emblazoned with the letter T as lasers shot from his eyes.
They are non-fungible tokens (NFTs) which Trump described as being "very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting. He added that they cost $99 each and, "would make a great Christmas gift".
Buyers are also be entered into a sweepstake with the chance of winning prizes including a gala dinner or a game of golf with Trump.
It was announced that the cards are not political and the funds raised would not be put towards his presidential campaign, but it's been speculated that the sale is to help fund Trump's legal battles in which Trump is embroiled.
Even more amazing is the fact that the collection sold out in a matter of hours when nearly 14,000 people purchased one or more of the online tokens.
