Despite being widely mocked online, former US president Donald Trump’s collection of digital trading cards have sold out in less than a day , netting US$4.5m in sales.

On Wednesday, Trump alerted fans to a “major announcement” on his Truth social media platform. A day later, the 45th president of the United States revealed he was offering “limited edition cards featur[ing] amazing ART of my Life & Career”, which he promised would prove “very much like a baseball card but hopefully much more exciting”.

The cards include the 76-year-old former commander-in-chief in a boxing ring, preparing to wrestle, as a race-car driver, an astronaut, and on a football field. Each card has his presidential number, 45, stamped on it.

The non-fungible tokens (NFTs) were on sale on the Opensea marketplace, which people could reach via a dedicated site set up for the sale. The site said on Friday that the cards were sold out.
