On Wednesday, President Donald Trump teased a major announcement. The political world was left wondering what it would be. Some reports claimed that he would be announcing a new vice president, returning to Twitter, releasing a new platform, or holding a rally.
But none of that ended up being true…
In a strange turn of events, Trump revealed a new collection of NFT coins. This is an eyebrow-raising announcement considering the current state of crypto.

One Twitter user questioned the people advising Trump.

I think they’re in it for themselves & do not have his best interest in mind
The best thing Trump could do rn is come back to Twitter

Another user said he isn't sure that Trump is really serious about trying to recapture the White House.
Why do I get the impression that Trump isn't serious about 2024? His launch of NFTs doesn't feel right. https://t.co/LUrOwaLxzL
