Donald Trump to spend day off from trial with NFT buyers: report
Donald Trump is scheduled to meet supporters who purchased a large amount of his NFTs for dinner on Wednesday, Axios reported. Trump is currently facing a criminal trial in New York.
Trump reportedly flew home to Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday to meet his supporters for dinner at Mar-a-Lago the next evening. Those invited to the dinner individually purchased more than 47 NFTs, each priced at $99, Axios reported, citing a copy of the dinner invitation.
The presidential candidate had reportedly complained outside of court on Tuesday that he'd rather be campaigning than being in a trial he described as a "hoax." Trump is currently in his first criminal trial in New York for alleged counts of falsifying business records in hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
Trump’s “Mugshot” NFTs use his mugshot from his 2023 arrest on conspiracy charges to overturn the 2020 U.S. election results, which has yet to go into trial. The company behind those NFTs is not directly linked to Trump’s campaign, it stated previously.
Supporters who bought enough NFTs to be invited to dine with Trump are also set to receive a physical card with a piece of Trump’s suit that he wore on the day of his arrest in Atlanta last August. The suit was dubbed as "the most historically significant artifact in United States history" on the website promoting the NFTs.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to The Block’s request to confirm the report.
