“Trump Legacy” is the name of the NFT Collection that will be released by Parler a free-speech social media platform popular with U.S. conservatives. The NFT collection will highlight former President Donald Trump by using symbolic imagery with serious undertones.
Jon McNaughton is the artist that is behind the images and he’s famous for paintings of American conservative political figures, especially Republicans, and Christian imagery.
“[McNaughton’s] acclaimed style, creative message, and digital delivery align perfectly with Parler’s goal to move squarely into Web 3 technologies and partnerships that further our commitment to freedom of expression,” said Parler CEO George Farmer.
Just last month the former first lady, Melania Trump announced that she is releasing her own NFT collection with images of herself, also with Parler.
Part 1 of the Parler “Trump Legacy” series features a collection of 10,000 pieces of art derived from McNaughton’s hand-painted images, minted on Ethereum as ERC-721 tokens.
Presales will be available to whitelist subscribers starting on Jan. 20 for 0.10 ETH (roughly $320), with the remaining tokens to be sold to the public later.
The funny thing is that besides the artwork featuring Trump he gave a statement last month that cryptocurrencies are “very dangerous”.
