You’ve probably never seen Trump quite like this…
Through his art, ClashDaily’s Big Dawg has managed to capture different aspects of the Trump Swagger that defined the MAGA presidency.
From the “I’m Your Huckleberry” commitment to be the one to deal with any trouble on the world stage to defending federalism and the Consitution against Democrats’ consistent attacks to making Dems look like blithering idiots (though, they don’t need much help with that) — Doug’s brush manages to capture it all.
And now, you can get these MAGA Bad Boys as NFTs.

Some of you might have questions like… What exactly is an NFT?
From Forbes:
An NFT is a digital asset that represents real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos. They are bought and sold online, frequently with cryptocurrency, and they are generally encoded with the same underlying software as many cryptos.
Although they’ve been around since 2014, NFTs are gaining notoriety now because they are becoming an increasingly popular way to buy and sell digital artwork. A staggering $174 million has been spent on NFTs since November 2017.
NFTs are also generally one of a kind, or at least one of a very limited run, and have unique identifying codes. “Essentially, NFTs create digital scarcity,” says Arry Yu, chair of the Washington Technology Industry Association Cascadia Blockchain Council and managing director of Yellow Umbrella Ventures.
This stands in stark contrast to most digital creations, which are almost always infinite in supply. Hypothetically, cutting off the supply should raise the value of a given asset, assuming it’s in demand.
But many NFTs, at least in these early days, have been digital creations that already exist in some form elsewhere, like iconic video clips from NBA games or securitized versions of digital art that’s already floating around on Instagram.
NFTs exist on a blockchain — typically Ethereum blockchain — so you’ll need a digital wallet.
Forbes explains how to buy NFTs:
If you’re keen to start your own NFT collection, you’ll need to acquire some key items:
First, you’ll need to get a digital wallet that allows you to store NFTs and cryptocurrencies. You’ll likely need to purchase some cryptocurrency, like Ether, depending on what currencies your NFT provider accepts. You can buy crypto using a credit card on platforms like Coinbase, Kraken, eToro and even PayPal and Robinhood now. You’ll then be able to move it from the exchange to your wallet of choice.
You’ll want to keep fees in mind as you research options. Most exchanges charge at least a percentage of your transaction when you buy crypto.
