At first the trading cards made me unreasonably angry. Primarily because the left tricked me into thinking that THAT is the announcement.

Then I realized something else. I've specifically not donated to a political party since 2021 on the assumption that it was throwing money away.
TRUMP JUST CREATED THE DIRECT MONEY STREAM TO PROVE YOU ACTUALLY SUPPORT HIM VS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
This is a gauge of the seriousness of his supporters to put down money where their mouths are.
But surely, isn't a 'licensing deal' still a money stream to him? I have no idea what the licensing deal is, but I would assume an initial flat fee (block of money even if non sell) plus a percentage of each sale. So for example, for every $99 purchase, Trump could get a 50% (or 80% or 20%) 'cut'.
You're correct, it's possible that he gets a cut of the first sales. He likely won't get a cut of secondary sales, but that's true of most NFTs.
