Because it's a slap in the face to his base. Well, I mean...most of his base. There are always those with a bottle of Jergens lotion on standby for whatever Trump does next, as aptly demonstrated in this thread. 4d chess, indeed.The trading cards were not the best move, nor were they timed well.
Serious question, why are you fixated on them? There are probably over 12 posts from you bringing them up.
I'm not disputing your right to talk about whatever you want. Curious about why this seems to be an issue that overrides everything else (trade, defense, jobs, etc.).
Again, no offense is intended.

Trump said he is selling NFTs of himself for $99, and one Republican tweeted, "Whoever advised Trump to sell NFT's shouldn't be fired. They should be exiled."

"Fox News breaking-news editor Chris Pandolfo tweeted: "Sure, inflation is wrecking the economy, Russia and China are on the move, the culture war wages at home, but at least presidential candidate Donald Trump is offering voters Trump Digital Trading Cards they can buy for $99 each. Get your NFT today."
"Daniel Bostic, one of the lead organizers of the "Stop the Steal" movement, tweeted: "If this is the #MAJORANNOUNCEMENT it is embarrassing and a slap in the face to Trump's base. People are struggling and losing their country. They're begging for real action—not childish stunts like this."
