Scraping the bottom of the grift barrel

The marks just can't give up their money fast enough:

In more proof that the writers of 2021 have jumped the shark, Ron Watkins—the man whom many suspect of controlling QAnon’s master account—is now in the NFT business. Specifically, Watkins is trying to make bank off of Trump’s retweets of him. Those digital gems can be yours for a cool $600, which in NFT land is mere pennies. With Tiffany Trump and the ‘Resistance Bro’ Krassenstein Brothers also getting in on the NFT game, well, enjoy late capitalism while it lasts.

While the least favorite Trump child is dabbling in digital ‘art,’ golden boy Eric is set to headline an anti-vaxxer conference held by some of the nuttiest folks in that crowd. Think anti-chemotherapy, colloidal silver-can-cure-COVID types. The QAnon yoga crystals lady is also going to be there, naturally. Eric himself has praised the vaccine in the past—awkward—but don’t expect him to play up that fact. As Fever Dreams co-host Will Sommer notes, it’s just one more sign that “the Trump movement, even more so than it was before, is becoming synonymous with the anti-vaccine movement.”

$600 for a screen shot of a retweet... No bad if you can con someone out of it
