As Donald Trump <\/em>dines<\/em><\/a> with the people he scammed with his NFT collection, <\/em>DNC Rapid Response Director Alex Floyd released the following statement: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDonald Trump is nothing but a con artist who has ripped off the American people time and time again, and this election is no different: Trump has hawked bootleg sneakers, peddled his own Bible, and pushed NFTs. As Trump continues to back a laughably out-of-touch MAGAnomics agenda that puts his ultra-wealthy friends ahead of hardworking families, Americans aren\u2019t falling for the con job. Voters see right through Trump\u2019s never-ending grifting and will reject his extreme and unpopular brand at the ballot box in November.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
