- Former President Donald Trump posted on Instagram for the first time in over two years

- Trump insisted he get ‘NICE GUY’ credit for keeping the NFTs at $99 per digital image
Former President Donald Trump posted to Instagram for the first time in over two years while taking his new collection of digital trading cards on sale for $99 each.
On Tuesday, Trump posted an image of himself holding up the Liberty Bell with an American flag in the background.
“I am pleased to inform you that, due to the great success of my previously launched DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, we are doing it again, SERIES 2, AVAILABLE NOW,” he said.
The cards, which are NFTs, show Trump in a number of poses – in one he is grilling in the backyard wearing a red and white striped apron with a dog at his side – in another Trump’s face has been transformed into a playing king of hearts card.
Playing on that king theme, other cards showed Trump as a king chess piece and as Elvis, while another shows him next to a lion made of fire.

On Instagram, Trump completely shared the digital trading card in which he has been given a superhero look with a star-studded cape.
“I hope everyone notices, and I’m sure the fake news won’t, that I’m leaving the price of the trading cards the same as last time, even though they are selling for MANY TIMES MORE (it’s called the MARKET!), & sold out almost immediately, because I want my fans and supporters to make money and have fun,” Trump wrote.
The $99 price is for one Trump image – with the former president pledging not to sell more than 10 copies of any design.
NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, allow people to claim ownership of a digital image.
Both former president and former first lady Melania Trump have previously attempted to sell NFTs to supporters.
“I could have raised the price MUCH HIGHER, and I think it still would have sold well, with a lot more money coming my way, but I chose not to,” Trump continued on the Instagram post.
“WON’T GET A NICE GUY CREDIT?” Trump mused.
At the end of January, Meta – the parent company of Instagram and Facebook – decided to let the former president back on their platforms.
He was disbarred after his actions surrounding the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Until Tuesday, Trump’s last post was for the Jan. 6 “Save America March,” which took place in the hours before the attack on the Capitol at the Ellipse near the White House.
