Diehard members of the MAGA mob may have the perfect gift to give each other if they have cash to burn this holiday season.
Former Republican President Donald Trump announced he is offering pieces of the suit he wore when he was arrested in Atlanta on August 24, 2023, after he was indicted on 13 felony charges for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
The bizarre offer is part of the third edition of his $99 digital trading cards called the “Mugshot Edition," and it features a MEARS-authenticated mugshot of Trump from when he was booked at the Fulton County Jail.
MAGA supporters who purchase 47 cards at $4,653, or more in a single transaction will have a chance to attend a gala dinner with him at Mar-a-Lago, and a "Limited Physical Trading Card w/Piece of President Trump's Suit from the MugShot," according to the Collect Trump Cards website.
His suit was billed as "The Most Historically Significant Artifact in United States History."

The internet gave a collective eye roll.
Trump said on his Truth Social media platform that the third series of digital cards was being sold "due to the great excitement and success" of the previous cards.
Last December, he teased a "major announcement" and suggested “America needs a superhero" on Truth Social.
The announcement turned out to be his foray into NFT (or non-fungible tokens) sales by selling collectible digital cards featuring images of his likeness in various scenarios of him as a superhero.
The first two releases of the cards "sold out in hours" and generated $9 million in combined sales.
The GOP frontrunner for the 2024 election also talked about the first gala dinner he hosted at Mar-a-Lago for card collectors on the website.

He also shared photos from the dinner featuring the collectors, some of whom hailed from as far as Singapore, Ireland, Australia, and Estonia.
For the recent "Mugshot Edition" cards series, the website also offered a second option featuring a bonus offer.
The first 200 people to buy 100 cards using cryptocurrency would receive a “one-of-one” digital trading card, two VIP tickets for a cocktail reception with Trump before the Mar-a-Lago dinner, and two limited edition trading cards.
One will have a piece of Trump's suit from his shot. "Only 2,024 available with different rarities," states the website.
The second card–only 225 of which have "different rarities"– will have a piece of the suit and tie from his arrest.
