Suppose Trump creating digital collectibles featuring himself in numerous outfits and the team behind Trump's NFTs reserving the rarest ones wasn't entertaining enough... Trump is now being accused of using copyrighted images for his digital collectibles.

  • The former US president launched the drop earlier this week.

  • Despite being mocked, the first 45,000 digital collectibles put up for sale have sold out, generating ~$4.5M in primary sales

  • The collectibles received backlash regarding the team behind the collectibles holding the rarest ones for themselves.

  • People in the media then noticed that many designs - including a spacesuit and cowboy getup - were seen on other clothing websites and for stock photos (more on that)
