Former President Donald Trump returned to Instagram on April 18, ending his more than two-year absence on the social media platform.

Trump, who is running for president in 2024, used his first post in 118 weeks to announce the release of a second series of his digital trading cards.

โ€œI am pleased to inform you that, due to the great success of my previously launched DIGITAL TRADING CARDS, we are doing it again, SERIES 2, AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW,โ€ Trump wrote on Instagram alongside an image of himself holding what appears to be the Liberty Bell.

In aย short videoย explaining the release of a second batch, Trump said the new card series includes images of him as a rockstar and as a monster truck driver.

In a separate post, Trump posted another image of himself as a superhero wearing the U.S. flag as a cape, and with a โ€œTrump Championโ€ belt. He wrote, โ€œI hope everyone notices, & Iโ€™m sure the Fake News wonโ€™t, that Iโ€™m leaving the price of the Trading Cards the same as last time, even though they are selling for MANY TIMES MORE.

โ€œI could have raised the price MUCH HIGHER, & I believe it still would have sold well, with a lot more money coming to me, but I didnโ€™t choose to do so,โ€ he added. โ€œI WILL BE GIVEN NO โ€˜NICE GUYโ€™ CREDIT?โ€

Trump announced the first batch of his digital cards in December last year, about a month after announcing his third bid for the White House. According to the cardsโ€™ website, the cards are digital collectibles known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

โ€œThink of them like traditional baseball or basketball cards but stored digitally so you never have to worry about physical damage,โ€ the website says.

The website also explains that money from the card sale wonโ€™t go to Trumpโ€™s 2024 presidential campaign, saying that the cards โ€œare not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.โ€

The first collectionโ€”a total of 44,000 cards listed for sale at $99 eachโ€”sold out within a day.
