Drumpfs was started by a group of college students who saw an opportunity to give back by selling some of Trumps most infamous tweets as digital collectibles.A group of college students are selling thousands of former President Donald Trumps most infamous tweets and donating 100% of the profits to charities he hates.
Theodore Horn, 20, co-founded the website Drumpfs in late April with Jackie Ni and Jason Yu as part of a company called Strategic Meme Group (SMG), which he described to NowThis as a Gen Z art and political technology studio trying to shift the political culture of America through our work. The name Drumpf is a nod to a segment on Last Week Tonight in 2016 where host John Oliver pointed out that Trumps ancestral name is Drumpf.
Horn said SMG collected roughly 46,000 of the 45th presidents tweets and is selling them as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs which are digital collectibles that can be bought,sold, and traded in the blockchain. Since launching, SMG has raised more than $6,000 for charitable organizations including the NAACP and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Id say weve got 99% of them, Horn said of the inventory. Most of his political tweets are all there.
