Trump is *Burying* his NFT Launch | Total Embarrassment.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
at this point I imagine you've already
seen that Donald Trump has released an
nft collection that he believes would
make a good Christmas present but there
are two things that I think are very
interesting to note that maybe you might
not have seen in either the announcement
or in the fine print the first thing
that I think that's very interesting to
know is usually Donald Trump is
extremely optimistic that's one of his
characteristics is this idea that
everything is great it's amazing Nobody
Does it Better right this pure
confidence that Donald Trump generally
portrays however in Donald Trump's major
announcement post on Truth social
announcing this nft drop he actually in
two circumstances drops his ordinary
enthusiasm this is probably because in
the past he's actually disliked crypto
even CZ the founder of finance and the
CEO of binance whom I'm not the biggest
fan of but even CZ points out that
Donald Trump didn't used to be a fan of
crypto at all of a sudden drops an nft
collection seems odd but look at Donald
Trump's verbiage here major announcement
my official Donald Trump digital trading
card collection is here these limited
edition cards feature amazing art of my
life and career collect all of your
favorite Trump digital trading cards
very much like a baseball card but
hopefully much more exciting go to
collecttrumpcards.com and get your cards
now only 99 eat each would make a great
Christmas gift don't wait they will be
gone I believe very quickly okay so
where are the two notes here where he
actually qualifies his optimism
extremely out of character for Donald
Trump right here first but hopefully
more exciting than baseball cards Donald
you are offering people the chance to be
on a zoom call with you or the chance at
a meet and greet at the private Palm
Beach Resort or the unforgettable
private meeting with Donald Trump at
Mar-A-Lago right uh so folks these these
are like the pitches this is done as a
sweepstakes uh and the idea here is that
if you buy an nft you have a chance
essentially a raffle at getting one of
those those benefits but for Donald
Trump to suggest that his trading cards
will hopefully be much more exciting is
very very out of character it is also
very out of character for him to say
they will be gone I believe very quickly
it in my opinion Donald Trump is
actually not very optimistic about this
I think he's actually shaking his head
at how ridiculous this is and he's his
credibility is getting hit for this
because it's kind of like I hate crypto
now I love crypto because I'm dropping
my nft collection but in addition to
that it's worth noting that if you look
at the fine print of this uh this this
website collecttrumpcards.com
entry requests blah blah blah blah over
here so nft International
LLC that's the company that that puts
this uh website together over here uh
and I'm in the way right now of you
being able to see that corner there so
I'll just move myself temporarily right
there there we go nft International LLC
is not owned managed or controlled by
Donald Trump so this is actually not a
Donald Trump product
the Trump organization cic digital or
any respective principles including
Donald Trump instead nft International
LLC uses Donald Trump's name likeness
and image under a paid license
from cic digital LLC which license may
be terminated or revoked according to
its terms so in other words
Donald Trump sold
his name and likeness to an nft company
and probably got paid a minimum along
with I would guess some kind of split so
for example somebody may have gone up to
Donald Trump and said something
effective hey we'll pay you 20 million
bucks and a worst case scenario you need
to do 30 minutes on a zoom call and
shake a few hands at Mar-A-Lago don't
worry we'll get them there you know
we'll pay the flight or whatever but
you'll get 20 mil just for doing that
and giving us a license to use your name
we'll do the art we'll sell the nfts
we'll do the website all we really want
you to do is let us license your name do
a quick little video post on Truth
social done
and there you go now Donald Trump has an
nft collection that I personally don't
actually believe he really believes in I
kind of think Donald Trump sold out here
I think he doesn't believe in crypto
somebody waved some cash in front of his
face he's got an expensive campaign
coming up he's gotten uh he's got a
criminal lawsuit that the Trump
organization just lost for tax fraud
he's got substantial civil lawsuits
happening he's in a situation where you
know what may as well start and only
fans at this point because obviously
it's okay to sell yourself on things
that you don't believe in just to make
an extra Buck now look I personally have
stopped all sponsors on this channel
because I know I 100 always can trust my
own product because I have control over
it now I've sponsored other programs on
this platform before and I do so because
I believe they're good products but
after some of the recent debacles that
have occurred where where Executives can
just destroy a reputation of a company
uh you can't trust other companies so in
my opinion for Donald Trump to go from
the level of I've got so much wealth
and crypto sucks to now I have an nft
collection it's my major announcement
and they're just licensing my name but
yeah you should go buy it and I believe
it'll sell out and it'll hopefully be
much more exciting it just seems to me
very doubtful that Donald Trump is
actually very enthusiastic about the
actual nft project instead it seems like
Donald Trump is much more interested in
taking that payout now what else is
fascinating is just two hours after the
drop which is getting a lot of criticism
online even from Republicans who are
saying this is it this is you know Peak
Donald Trump is behind us two hours
after that Donald Trump tried releasing
a policy pitch for his presidential
campaign outlining his goals for free
speech I think this is kind of a way to
sort of bury the nft project it's like
now I'm announcing the nft project okay
that launch is an embarrassment uh what
do Republicans want to hear Free Speech
release to the Free Speech plan so we
have restoring Free Speech overview
banned federal agencies from colluding
to Central American citizens nobody
wants that uh obviously I mean that kind
of almost goes without saying ban
taxpayer dollars from being used to
label speech as miss or disinformation
this is kind of like the anti-ministry
of Truth argument that white is the
Biden Administration have uh you know
basically a truth department where they
can coordinate with social media
platforms and decide what is Miss or
disinformation Facebook's involved in
this Twitter was involved in this with
back doors for these sort of
organizations terrible fire every
Federal bureaucrat who has engaged in
domestic censorship
okay uh
uh immediately sent preservation letters
to the Biden Administration and big Tech
Giants this is a way of saying hey we
want to be able to see what kind of
censorship you have done in the past so
that way if we want to do a Facebook
files like a Twitter files leak where we
could see ah interesting politicians
have been able to request that certain
tweets have been deleted and you all
agreed to delete those we want to
maintain a long history of those or an
ability to investigate exactly what
happened I don't think anybody would
disagree with that order the Department
of Justice to investigate all parties
involved in online censorship and
prosecute any and all crimes identified
sure revised section 230 to drastically
curtail a big Tech platforms power to
restrict a lawful speech remember
section 230 is essentially a the
difference between a platform and a
publisher a platform is a place where
you go to speak freely and say whatever
you want if you say something illegal
you are liable not the platform a
publisher is something like a newspaper
where an editor decides what is posted
and what is not posted and in that case
the publisher takes liability but
because there are platforms like Twitter
that sometimes send searchings things
like hate speech we know this has
happened they are kind of in this like
Blurry line well what are they are they
a publisher if they're censoring stuff
and picking what's allowed to be posted
not isn't that kind of now becoming a
publisher but you're still a platform
and you know we want platforms because
we don't want to hurt free speech by
getting rid of those companies if they
have too much liability then what if
potentially then they all disappear so
yeah a lot of issues around 230 in terms
of exactly how to balance that and it's
obviously a big thing that Elon Musk
over at Twitter is now trying to uh
clean up
and then of course it's come with a lot
of issues as well including all of the
Elon jet drama although now Elon Musk
has come up with a policy along with
Twitter to suggest that there shall be
no live tracking of people's locations
they could be like no real-time doxing
of people's locations right instead it
would be okay to post let's say flight
tracking data after maybe a 24-hour
reasonable delay
stop Federal funding for all non-profits
and academic programs engaged in
censorship suspend federal dollars to
any Universities that have engaged in
censorship support activities enact
criminal penalties for bureaucrats who
partner with private entities to violate
your constitutional right now that's
really interesting because generally if
you work for the federal government you
are typically personally immune from
prosecution so let's say you work at the
Biden administration's Ministry of Truth
you could in theory kind of go off and
censor as much as you want without being
penalized when you're violating other
people's rights I don't actually see
that happening but it makes a powerful
statement
it posed a seven year cooling off period
before former Intel and National
Security officials can work with big
Tech platforms oh this is a slam of like
people going from uh the FBI to then go
work at Twitter right pass a digital
Bill of Rights which would probably just
be like memorializing some of what what
is posted here hey look you know what
that that's not a terrible outline I
think uh it's probably more political
yapping than reality uh some of the
intentions there are good I think there
are a lot of revisions that need to be
made to social media platforms but
honestly I think that's restoring Free
Speech overview is just a political
piece to try to bury this nft
embarrassment
