Former first lady Melania Trump is auctioning off a collection of White House memorabilia including an Hervé Pierre hat, a watercolor painting, and a non-fungible token (NFT) commemorating French President Emmanuel Macron's 2018 state visit to the United States.
Bids for the "Head of State" collection, which previews on Trump's website on Tuesday, will start at the equivalent of $250,000 in SOL cryptocurrency and will be accepted between January 11 and January 25, Trump announced on Tuesday.
The centerpiece of the collection is an "iconic wide-brimmed white hat" that was custom designed and fashioned by Pierre. It features the same fabric as the Michael Kors suit worn by the former first lady during the 2018 state visit.
Part of the proceeds from both Trump's initial NFT and the newly-announced "Head of State" collection will go to her "Fostering the Future" initiative, which helps children who have been in the foster care system access "computer science and technology education," per the announcement.

Im kind of surprised TFG is anti-crypto. Hes always been in favor of attaching high value to things with no intrinsic worth, and always a fan of hiding transactions. It seems like something hed jump on. Maybe introducing trump-dollars or some such shit.
