Here is the image from which the Trump tuxedo NFT seems to have been created.
It's fitting that a fake billionaire would put himself in a tuxedo from Men's Wearhouse. The white bowtie is pitifully constructed. menswearhouse.com/p/pronto-uomo-

There are slight differences with some of the above images and their sources, meaning that it is very possible that the NFT collection is derived from unlicensed images as well as AI-generated copyright infringements. Getty banned AI images for this reason

I wonder how much involvement AI is playing here rather than classic “photoshoppery”. They claim there are 45,000 cards of which there is a maximum of 20 of each design. So that’s at least 2,250 different cards (not accounting for rarer ones)
