Donald Trump‘s getting jabbed over his digital trading cards — the folks behind Amazon Prime’s “The Boys” are taking his idea and turning it into satirical gold.
The Twitter account for Vought International — the media conglomerate on the TV show that uses superhumans for profit — posted its version of expensive cards Thursday, not coincidentally, just as Trump unveiled his $99 self-portraits.
The “company” promoted the Homelander-themed collection, writing, “Celebrate our greatest hero’s life and crimefighting career by owning an authentic and non-fungible JPEG of him. Buy now for 777 VoughtCoin while you still can!”
In case you missed it, Vought’s referring to Trump’s NFT announcement … showing off a ton of edited pics of him in a wide variety of action scenarios.
You can imagine, the Internet’s having a field day … and “The Boys” crew decided to join the fun.
One of Trump’s trading cards showed him as a superhero, which looked like an obvious play off the TV show’s Homelander character — and probably prompted ‘Boys’ creators to drop their mock NFT.
This was bound to happen … ‘Boys’ executive producer Eric Kripke‘s been very open about the fact they based Homelander on Trump — something fans of the show have clearly seen.
The series revolves around a company with an endless amount of power that subliminally runs the world — and draws direct parallels to the battle between woke folks and conservatives.
Here’s a battle worth debating — Homelander vs. Supes Trump!!!
