Does Melania Trump desperately need money?
And what does it have to do with NFTs?
The former first lady causes confusion.
Palm Beach, Florida - Does Melania Trump have huge money worries?
You could almost get the impression, because the former first lady of the USA is auctioning something for a lot of money again.
She wants to earn at least $ 250,000 for an NFT that she puts up for sale along with a piece from her wardrobe.
Melania Trump is now doing crypto: this time she is auctioning an NFT
The wife of ex-President Donald Trump had already discovered crypto trading in December.
At that time, she auctioned a digital work of art by Frenchman Antoine Coulon.
A “breathtaking” watercolor that “Mrs.
Embodies Trump's cobalt blue eyes and offers the collector an amulet for inspiration ”.
This time, for a digital object, an NFT (Non-Fungible Token), there is even something from real life: a hat.
But not just any: She wore this special piece especially for French President Emmanuel Macron on the occasion of his state visit.
It's an accessory by French designer Hervé Pierre, and Melania also signed it.
A friend of Hervé called Trump's offer “disrespectful” to the designer.
You can buy digital goods and part of your wardrobe.
That sounds like the former model is currently short of money.
But a "part of the proceeds from the auction" should be used to give foster children access to computer technology and technological education.
So it's all just charity?
Melania Trump's auctions: charity or personal profit?
On the Internet there were immediate doubts as to whether Melania's auctions were only used to make money quickly.
The suspicion is obvious: Her husband's charity has already been caught not having passed on the donations collected to the recipients.
The
Washington Post
called Trump's auction “grift” - to be translated as “trickery”.
Anyway, Melania seems to be serious about NFTs and digital currency.
She even sent a birthday tweet for the 13th birthday of the “Bitcoin Genesis Block” with the hashtag “MelaniaNFT” to the world.
Most of all, the crypto community responded with disbelief.
Either way - even after her time as First Lady, Melania Trump still manages to surprise and make the world headlines.

Ivanka Trump is considered Donald Trump's favorite.
But there are probably cracks in their relationship.
Last but not least, the storm on the Capitol should be responsible for this.
