Former US President Donald Trump hits the NFT marketplace. There will be a total of 10,000 Donald Trump NFTs up for sale.
NFTs and politics have not always seen eye to eye. A surge in trading activity has led to a marked increase in illicit activity, drawing greater scrutiny from governments and regulators.
Despite the increased level of scrutiny, NFT activity continues to impress, with more mainstream players entering the digital world.
Parler is a free speech social media platform aiming to solve problems stemming from changes in big tech policy, by delivering a platform that respects user privacy and personal data.
On Tuesday, Parler announced the launch of the NFT marketplace DeepRedSky on Twitter.
We're excited to announce the launch of @DeepRedSkyio, our new premium NFT marketplace. Here, fans and collectors alike will experience seamless connections with creators and brands who share our values.

CryptoTRUMP Club includes 250 one-of-a-kind Donald Trump NFTs, each priced at $2,750. There are NFTs of Trump in military attire, wearing an Uncle Sam hat (#1187), and Trump smoking a cigar donning a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap (#858).
There is even an NFT with a crowned image of Trump (#1749). The 250 NFTs form part of a more extensive 10,000 collection. The platform has yet to release the full collection. In addition to paying with Solana (SOL), interested parties can also buy Trump NFTs with U.S dollars or Ethereum (ETH).
While this may be the first Donald Trump NFT collection, former first lady Melania Trump is active in the NFT space.
Last month, Melania Trump released her second NFT collection titled Potus on her very own NFT marketplace called Melaniatrump. The Potus collection is the second collection of Melania Trump images. Trump released the first collection titled Head of State, Collection in January following her first NFT “Melania’s Vision” that commemorated the launch of her NFT marketplace.
Donald Trump is now forever minted in the digital world. It remains to be seen whether the former President will make any comments on Parler’s free speech platform.
