Selling mugshot NFTs is a very effective way of exposing the political nature of these prosecutions. What you seem to be advocating is for him to play the victim, and that is not a winning strategy. People don't want Trump to be a victim, and they don't want him to combat the establishment using their own rules and language the same way RINO candidates have done for decades. People supported Trump because he stood up in the face of that rhetoric and said, "fuck you. You're stupid. You're fat. You're ugly. You're crooked. You're short and you've got a tiny penis." And he did it in the least intellectualist language he could.
That is why people support him. That is what wins him votes. Engaging with the establishment on their terms instead of his own will only lose him support.
Remember he has to win the court cases and also win the general election.
Being an troll helps with his core base but he also needs independent voters as well to win the general election.
Trump doesn't need to play the victim. He needs to play the role of a serious politician who is unfairly being targeted by the Democrats.
Were Mandela or Gandhi playing the victim? No they called out being persecuted by their nation's ruling authorities and used it to push their cause.
Selling mugshot nfts may elicit cheers from the base but it won't help him win the court cases or convince indie voters to go for him.
I don't want Biden to win a second term and thus I want Trump to maximize his chances.
This NFT mugshot stunt absolutely harms Trump in the court cases and in the general election with indies.
Once again, that is the opposite of his winning formula. A "serious politician" is one who engages with the establishment within their predetermined frame of acceptable discourse. A "serious politician" is one who speaks the pseudo-intellectual managerial language of the elite and the political class because he's hoping for their approval. People are sick of "serious politicians." That is the reason Trump has been so successful.
