IF Melania Trump is sincere in her announcement today, and she runs it with some integrity with respect to “portion,” then we congratulate her on a semi-decent idea. But please forgive us, we have our doubts as to the sincerity and the efficiency of her newly announced program. We also wonder why she won’t address the “portion part.” Let’s explain.

Melania says that she is developing a new NFT art project, with her at the center, of course, with “a portion” of the proceeds going to help foster children.

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

We doubt that there is a news site out there that has been more intense in its criticism of Melania than us. But we have also proven that we are willing to give her credit when due.

There are a lot of questions hanging over the announcement. For those that don’t know, according to Google, “NFT” is defined as:

NFTs are a type of digital asset designed to represent ownership of a unique virtual item, such as a piece of art or rare sports trading cards. Ownership of these items is tracked on the blockchain, the technology behind most cryptocurrencies.

It is the right to ownership and sales of digital art which can be bought and sold. NFTs have had a weird start in that some young, mostly untrained, (kids) design figures that take off and are worth hundreds of thousands, and some beautiful stuff made by trained visual artists thud without any value.

ANd oof course her first NFT is all about Melania. Well, her eyes at least:

OK not even commenting on the eyes, but how did Melania Trump think this was what a former First Lady would release

Honestly, this looks exactly like I thought it would

If u went to a sex club, this is type of art work u would expect

She failed at porn & at being First Lady pic.twitter.com/aoTrMRUMNB

The Trumps do not have a good history with respect to running charitable operations and must be watched closely, as the net pointed out:, the key is the “portion of the proceeds” and whether it can be trusted to be a significant portion:

Don’t be fooled by Melania Trump. She’s just like Donald Trump, but with smaller tits.

“…portion of proceeds from the sale will be "donated to support children in the foster care community," a statement said. Trump's office didn't respond to ITK's request for comment abt how much of the money will go to charitable efforts.”

One word – scam.https://t.co/HIXe9Qv6Ak

Below, some absolutely hilarious responses:

Raise your daughters to be classy and kind like Melania Trump instead of fake and fraudulent like Jill Biden.

But mostly doubts:

Hmmmm….a #Trump starting a smoke-and-mirrors biz venture that's gonna 'raise money for charity'. We've seen this movie before… #MelaniaTrump https://t.co/u5XMtaA6VW
