He may be the former U.S. president but The New Abnormal team says Donald Trump’s decision to sell parts of the suit worn in his Georgia mugshot—with the purchase of 47 digital trading cards—shows he is more like a used car salesman.
“This is something to give to your family, to your kids, grandchildren—with a purchase of 47 of the Trump digital trading cards,” Trump said.
“It’s so depressing that people think that he’s a good president. This man is a used car fucking salesman—buy 47 of these digital bullshit things and then give my mugshot to your kid, cause that’s what the fuck you should aspire to,” The New Abnormal co-host Danielle Moodie said.
