Former First Lady Melania Trump is announcing a new venture.
The former first lady made the announcement on Thursday that she will be combing her “passion for art and commitment to helping our Nation’s children fulfill their own unique American Dream.”
Trump launched a new NFT, non-fungible tokens, platform. An NFT “in the simplest terms … transform digital works of art and other collectibles into one-of-a-kind, verifiable assets that are easy to trade on the blockchain,” as CNN explains.
The first NFT to be released will be titled, “Melania’s Vision,” and will be available December 16-31 on MelaniaTrump.com, per the press release. Parler is powering the efforts.
The first NFT “embodies Mrs. Trump’s cobalt blue eyes, providing the collector with an amulet to inspire.” The “breathtaking watercolor art” will also include an audio recording of Trump. Per The Hill, she says, “My vision is: look forward with inspiration, strength, and courage.”
A portion of the proceeds will assist children who are aging out of the foster system “by way of economic empowerment and with expanded access to resources needed to excel in the fields of computer science and technology.”
Excited for this new venture, which combines my passion for art and commitment to helping our Nation’s children fulfill their own unique American Dream. #MelaniaNFT https://t.co/XJN18tMllg pic.twitter.com/wMpmDDsQdp
