People in several works of life have released non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for many reasons ranging from investments, value, artistic expression, etc.

Former United States Commander-in-Chief says his newly released NFTs were motivated by his love for the art as the images of him were “sort of cute.” In an interview with One America News, he said the release was not a form of investment but rather an artistic endeavour. 

“I didn’t view it as an investment. I viewed it as – I thought they were cute. For $99, you’re getting these visions that are very beautiful and interesting, I think, and I viewed it that way much more so than as an NFT,” said Trump.

Trump went further, revealing that he had no prior knowledge about how digital art works before releasing the NFTs, which depicted him as a hero.

“Well, I knew nothing about them, and then a group came and I loved the art. They showed me the art. You know, it’s sort of comic book art when you think of it, but they showed me the art and I said, gee, I always wanted to have a 30-inch waist.”
