Many of us who follow the 17th letter know about the two “Trump card” references.
Wednesday, December 15, 2022, was a FUN day in the Anon world.
It was a day when a “Trump Card” was played.
It could also be called a “Bait-and-Switch Day.”
On the 14th, POTUS released this video on Truth, staying true to his Standard Operating Procedure of “announcing the announcement.”
Speculation went crazy overnight about whether POTUS would announce news about his campaign, his running mate for 2024, a run for Speaker of the House, etc.
On the morning of the 15th, President Trump’s “announcement” landed like a giant “nothingburger” in the minds of many.
The reaction was swift, especially by the left. Overall, the reaction was “we can’t even …”
Here are some fun headlines:
From Crypto.com:
From RawStory.com:
From Rolling Stone:
And then there was Twitter:
The REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-ing was absolutely delightful.
POTUS reeled in libs, RINOs, many of the party faithful, and (as reported on some smaller media platforms) even the military into “believing” that he had lost his mind by positioning the introduction of his NFT “playing cards” as a “major announcement.”
But the “Trump Card” announcement turned out to be another classic troll play by our POTUS.
In classic POTUS fashion, DJT played another round of LOOK HERE/NOT THERE.
The “sizzle” was the NFT launch, but the “steak” was the history-making announcement of the “Digital Bill of Rights.”
The left-wing media was absolutely obsessed with the NFT announcement and barely noticed the “Digital Bill of Rights” announcement that will change the WORLD.
If you haven’t seen it, here you go:
Others will take on a deep dive about President Trump’s plan to protect free speech.
But I’d like to take us in another direction.
There was one other element of December 15th that had me chuckling; it shone a light on a theory I’ve been kicking around.
The night of the 15th and the next morning, I was amused to watch uber-pro-Trump commentators Steve Bannon and Steve Cortes enthusiastically bashing him and his team for making the “grievous error” of announcing both the NFT sale and the Digital Bill of Rights on the same day.
“That NEVER should have happened.” “Heads should roll!” “People need to be fired RIGHT NOW.” “I can’t believe he didn’t catch that.”
Are you talking about DONALD TRUMP?
There’s NOTHING he doesn’t “catch.”
NOTHING.
He played EVERYONE.
Bannon and Cortes were in on it. They were players in the December 15th episode of LOOK HERE/NOT THERE. Their job was to poo-poo the NFT launch.
But why?
(If you could see me now, I’m sitting here, gleefully rubbing my hands together!)
I caught something else through the communication of December 15.
Let’s take a step back, shall we? It’s time to put a few pieces of the puzzle together. I want to challenge you to take another look at what I’m calling “Project Trump Card.”
DJT does NOTHING without a reason.
NOTHING.
He willingly, knowingly launched the Trump Card NFT on the same day as the Digital Bill of Rights announcement.
We might have the tendency to forget about the NFT, since it was sold out in a matter of hours.
But I believe the NFT announcement is something we shouldn’t dismiss.
Why?
Let me lead you down the rabbit trail I’ve been following.
POTUS’s NFT website, collecttrumpcards.com gave the following instructions for purchasing “Trump Cards:”
From Step 2:
“Or if you prefer to pay with crypto, no problem. Pay with ETH (WETH) during checkout.
Hmmmmmm.
“Pay with crypto” doesnt’ sync with what Trump has said about crypto in the past.
From Trump warns crypto 'potentially a disaster waiting to happen' | Fox Business on 8/31/2021:
Former President Trump warned on Tuesday that investing in cryptocurrencies is "potentially a disaster waiting to happen."
Trump said he has "not been a big fan" of cryptocurrencies during an exclusive interview on "Varney & Co." Tuesday, noting that he does not invest in Bitcoin and other digital currencies.
"I like the currency of the United States," Trump told host Stuart Varney.
He argued that investing in cryptocurrencies "hurts the United States currency" and "we should be invested in our currency."
From Bitcoin.com’s article, Donald Trump Says Crypto Is 'Very Dangerous' — Warns of 'Explosion Like We've Never Seen' on 12/21/2021:
Donald Trump commented on cryptocurrency, his wife’s non-fungible token (NFT) endeavor, and his new social media platform, Truth Social, in an interview with Maria Bartiromo over the weekend. Fox Business published the interview Tuesday.
“What do you think about crypto?” Trump was asked. Bartiromo noted that “New York and Miami are really getting cryptocurrency into their financial systems.”
The former U.S. president reiterated his anti-crypto stance: “Well, I never loved it because I like to have the dollar. I think the currency should be the dollar so I was never a big fan. But it’s spilling up bigger and bigger, and nobody is doing anything about it.”
Emphasizing, “Look, I want a currency called the dollar,” he warned: “I don’t want to have all these others, and that could be an explosion someday — the likes of which we’ve never seen. It will make the big tech explosion look like baby stuff. I think it’s a very dangerous thing."
So why in the WORLD would Trump encourage folks to pay for the “Trump Card” with crypto?
Hold that thought.
Later in the same article, Melania Trump’s NFT launch was discussed.
From the Bitcoin.com article:
Trump was also asked about the former first lady’s non-fungible token (NFT) endeavor. Melania Trump announced last week that she’s selling an NFT, titled “Melania’s Vision,” on her newly launched NFT platform, which plans to release NFTs regularly. “I am proud to announce my new NFT endeavor, which embodies my passion for the arts, and will support my ongoing commitment to children through my Be Best initiative,” she said in a statement.
Commenting on his wife’s NFT plans, Trump said: “She’s going to do great … She got a great imagination. And people love our former first lady, I can tell you that. They really do, they love her.”
Interesting.
One other thing:
Melania’s NFT was introduced December 16, 2021.
And POTUS’ NFT was introduced December 15, 2022, one day shy of a year since Melania’s.
REALLY interesting.
Let’s go back to the instructions for purchasing the “Trump Card.”
From Step 3:
“Once you successfully check out, Your Trump Digital Trading Cards will be minted and delivered to your digital wallet. Log into your wallet (simply with your email address) to see which cards you’ve received.”
Ahhhhhh.
“Your digital wallet.”
President Trump’s launch of his NFT (and Melania’s last year) were plays to normalize digital wallets for the masses in increasing numbers.
And they’re not hiding that both of them will continue to roll out more NFT opportunities “regularly," continuing to incrementally increase digital wallet creation with every release.
A few hours after I started the outline for what would become this article, I noticed Dave at X22 had picked up on the same concept of POTUS using the Trump Cards as an introduction to and normalization of digital wallets in his episode, Ep. 2949a - The Economic Transition Has Begun, How Do You Introduce Digital Wallets? (rumble.com).
Dave said in this episode,
“I do believe this is the beginning of the transition into a different currency, and he’s bringing the people with him.”
I agree with Dave.
We’re moving toward a digital currency that will be held in our digital wallets.
I can hear some of you right now, saying, “But Kitty, isn’t digital currency BAD????”
The kind of digital currency that’s been getting kicked around in the mainstream media is definitely BAD.
CBDC = BAD
Central Bank Digital Currency is a trap. Here’s how it’s being spun on Investopedia:
The main goal of CBDCs is to provide businesses and consumers with privacy, transferability, convenience, accessibility, and financial security. CBDCs could also decrease the maintenance a complex financial system requires, reduce cross-border transaction costs, and provide those who currently use alternative money transfer methods with lower-cost options.
IMPORTANT: A CBDC also provides a country's central bank with the means to implement monetary policies to provide stability, control growth, and influence inflation.
Sounds good, eh?
But the control that the cabal would have on the world’s population through CBDC would be catastrophic. They could turn your currency on and off. They could limit your purchases or even limit the geography in which you could spend your currency. Your economic freedom would be destroyed.
Correction: The WORLD’s economic freedom would be destroyed.
The United States financial system is on its way to collapse, folks. Our national debt has been out of control for decades, with the Fed’s printing presses devaluing the USD with every sheet of currency printed. My guess is that America’s financial collapse will be much like the one the Weimar Republic experienced in 1933, when their currency had been devalued so dramatically that a wheelbarrow of “cash” was needed to buy a loaf of bread.
Gold/Silver = GOOD
In the early days of humanity, currency was typically some form of metals used to represent the value of some type of commodity. Over the centuries, coinage, paper money and banknotes were used by various countries. In recent years, alternative currencies like bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies have become popular.
If you haven’t noticed, the rest of the world is slowly but surely moving back to asset-based currency.
Everything old is new again.
You’ve heard of the BRICS countries?
It started as “BRIC” in 2006. The foreign ministers of the initial four BRIC General states (Brazil, Russia, India and China) met at the United Nations in New York City in 2006. Then in June 2009, a full-scale diplomatic BRIC summit was held in Russia.
From Wikipedia:
In the aftermath of the Yekaterinburg summit, the BRIC nations announced the need for a new global reserve currency, which would have to be "diverse, stable and predictable." Although the statement that was released did not directly criticize the perceived "dominance" of the US dollar – something that Russia had criticized in the past – it did spark a fall in the value of the dollar against other major currencies.
In 2010, South Africa joined the BRIC economic alliance, and the group became widely known as BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa.)
The combined economic power of those five nations alone is staggering, and their combined population of an estimated 3.21 billion represents about 43% of the global population.
Vladimir Putin announced in June 2022 that BRICS was already setting up a new global reserve currency.
From RT News on 6/22/2022:
Fast forward to 2022. There is a growing list of countries interested in joining the BRICS alliance.
From Silk Road Briefing on 11/9/2022:
Concerning a BRICS expansion, (Russian Foreign Minister) Sergey Lavrov stated that Algeria, Argentina, and Iran had all applied, while it is already known that Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt and Afghanistan are interested, along with Indonesia, which is expected to make a formal application to join at the upcoming G20 summit in Bali.
Other likely contenders for membership include Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Senegal, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. All had their Finance Ministers present at the BRICS Expansion dialogue meeting held in May.
I have found additional references that the following nations are also pursuing membership in the BRICS alliance: Bangladesh, Mexico, Pakistan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.
And my guess is that, behind the scenes, President Trump has already made the United States part of BRICS. He probably was even one of the early architects, don’t you think?
There have been many, many news stories about BRICS moving toward creating a new gold-backed global reserve currency, which would totally shake up the world’s economies and destroy the American dollar.
Friends, we’ve all heard the murmurings about NESARA/GESARA. It could be bunk. It might not be. Or it might be somewhere in between. There’s no way to know what’s true and what’s not. Not until it happens.
But the PROMISE of NESARA/GESARA—a global jubilee of debt forgiveness and a redistribution of wealth that would bring underdeveloped countries/peoples out of poverty so all the world’s population will experience abundance—this promise is something that I continue to dream of and pray for.
Look at that list of countries asking to join the BRICS movement. So many hurting countries. The expansion of BRICS is laying the groundwork for a new global currency that may just move us forward to that New World.
Back to the whole “digital wallet” thing.
Here’s the deal about asset-based currency, like gold or silver.
You just can’t go to the grocery store and break a piece off a gold bar to buy your groceries.
There has to be a way to create a digital currency that is BACKED by gold/silver so you don’t have to carry it around. I’m confident the Good Guys have already rolled out the “beta” test of that digital currency, held in digital wallets, to be used by a very small group of people around the world. (If you’re one of the beta testers, I’d love to hear from you!)
Digital currency will be held in your digital wallet.
And Donald Trump just gave us the signal that digital wallets are GOOD. Everybody needs one. And he’s going to provide reasons for everyone to get one.
His patience will be seen in the history books as legendary. Slow, steady steps.
Will there be banks? Maybe. But my guess is that they’ll serve a different function when they’re no longer under the Central Bank’s rule.
What will power a new global currency system? Quantum technology? Blockchain? Space Force? That’s way above my pay grade.
But I’m thinking that “beta” test of the new digital currency, held in digital wallets, will be secured by some kind of blockchain technology already created for a new global monetary system.
Time will tell.
One final thought.
In the unveiling of the “Trump Cards” NFT, POTUS said of himself,
“Hopefully your favorite President of all time. Better than Lincoln. Better than Washington.”
Why the heck did he say THAT?
DJT is strategic with every word he says.
What was he signaling?
I think I know.
Fiat currency is DEAD.
Lincoln = US Coinage
Washington = US Dollars
Trump indicated that a new currency is coming. A new currency that history will associate with his presidency.
So, yes, a “Trump Card” has been played.
But my bet is that it won’t be the last one.
Stay frosty, Patriot! And GIDDY UP!

I am not a finance savvy person and still think it was a message in the unveiling of his cards. But don’t you think it’s a good idea to have the freedom for cash and digital. I can’t see never having cash again.
Also can you address WHY TRUMP ALWAYS TOUTS THE VAXX AS A GOOD THING?
I don’t know if I will vote for him if he refuses to say vax was NOT GOOD
That’s a great article Kitty! I’ve been thinking along the same lines. Our fiat money is being inflated away and none of the global debt will ever be paid off. A new gold backed currency is coming for sure.
How do you remove the banks control of peoples money?
Give them their own digital wallet to store it apart from the banks. True financial freedom.
The banks that have controlled the globe for centuries are about to be neutered which is the best thing that could ever happen in my opinion.
