Donald Trump prepared his followers for a "major announcement" today - but instead hopes to get them to buy $99 (£81) digital trading cards of him looking like a superhero.
He said of the NFTs: "My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favourite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting."
Special prizes that come with the NFTs included a chance to meet Trump himself. If followers buy an image of Trump dressed as a cowboy, they can win an evening in Miami and an exclusive dinner hosted by Trump.
The former president had teased the announcement on Wednesday, releasing a video on his social media site Truth Social.
In a short clip, Trump said that "America needs a superhero" and was shown as a cartoon peeling back his shirt to reveal a super suit complete with six-pack abs and lasers shooting from his eyes.
Trump captioned the post: "AMERICA NEEDS A SUPERHERO! I will be making a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT tomorrow. Thank you!"
The campaign appeals: "Each Digital Trading Card (NFT) is not only a rare collectible, it automatically enters YOU INTO A SWEEPSTAKES for a chance to win 1000’s of incredible prizes and meet the one and only #45! There's no purchase necessary to enter!"
None of the cards, which includes one of him dressed as an astronaut, "will have more than 20 copies in existence."
With promises of dinner and even a round of golf on the cards, there is a "strict maximum limit of 100 NFT and/or sweepstakes entries per person."
Despite the announcement, the former president still faces problems both politically and legally.
In the party, some have looked towards a successor and move away from Trump's firm grip on the GOP.
Calls for a fresh start have increased following a worse-than-expected Midterms performance by the Republicans, which some put down to the influence of Trump. It is not clear what effect Trump's presence had on the election results.
Candidates endorsed by the much-maligned president lost in key Senate races and the Democrats were able to increase their majority in Congress's upper chamber.
Republicans did take control of the House of Representatives, but the Democratic performance elsewhere boosted Biden's hopes of running again in the next election.
It is believed America's oldest-ever president will announce his candidacy next year.
There has also been backlash over Trump's dinner meeting with troubled antisemite Kanye West and holocaust denier Nick Fuentes. Trump said he did not know Fuentes, but defended meeting West despite the former rapper's comments about Jewish people.
Many within the party also appear to be turning towards far-right Florida governor Ron DeSantis as a potential successor.
As the GOP performance in the MIdterms generally struggled to make big gains, the party cemented its position comfortably in the Sunshine State.
Further problems for Trump appear to be Rupert Murdoch's tabloid The New York Post appearing to back DeSantis and them branding Trump as "Trumpty Dumpty."
Legally, four major criminal probes currently trouble Trump, including the allegation he took classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago home after leaving the Whtie House.
An FBI raid turned up over 100 documents with classified markings. Presidents are required to return documents to the national archive when they leave office.
Last week, a federal judge dismissed the Trump team's case challenging the raid and seizure.
He is also under subpoena by the January 6 committee, the investigation into the riots at the Capitol in 2021 and there is also a civil and criminal investigation in New York looking at allegations of fraud regarding the Trump Organisation.
Elsewhere, prosecutors in Georgia are looking into the possibility of alleged attempts to overturn the presidential election in the state.
Trump told Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger "I just want to find 11,780 votes." This was the total Trump needed to overturn the result in Georgia.
