Former President Donald Trump is preparing to launch his fourth NFT collection. In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek on July 16, the 78-year-old Trump proudly shared the tremendous success of his previous collections:
We sold out 45,000 NFT cards in three releases. There will be another collection soon because the demand is so high. The response has been incredible, and the product is beautiful.
Trump mentioned the idea of the fourth collection during a party for Mugshot NFT holders at Mar-a-Lago in May.
Trump’s Plans If Re-elected
In the interview, Trump also discussed several plans if he is re-elected:
- Keep Jerome Powell as Fed Chair until the end of his term (May 2026)
- Advise the Fed not to cut interest rates before the November election
- Reduce corporate taxes to 15%
- No plans to ban TikTok
- Consider appointing Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, as Treasury Secretary

Crypto-Friendly President
Trump has become increasingly friendly towards cryptocurrency, calling himself the “Crypto President.” Since May, his campaign has accepted crypto donations. According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), of the $331 million raised last quarter, about $3 million was in cryptocurrency.
Recently, Trump announced Bitcoin-supporting Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his Vice Presidential candidate. Prominent figures in the crypto industry, such as former Kraken CEO Jesse Powell and Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, have made significant contributions to Trump’s campaign.
Previously skeptical of cryptocurrency, Trump has now changed his stance:
If we don’t act, China will seize this opportunity. They are very interested in this field. The U.S. has a good position, and although the crypto industry is still in its infancy, we should not let another country surpass us.
