The NFT, the second Trump has sold in less than a month, features the drawing of the hat with some animation. The centerpiece of the auction, the custom white hat, which Trump has signed, was created for Trump by her personal stylist, Hervé Pierre, to match the $2,105 white crepe Michael Kors Collection suit Trump wore for the daytime ceremonies at the White House attended by Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron. The three items will have an opening bid of $250,000, and bidding will only be accepted via SOL, a form of cryptocurrency. Questions to Melania Trump from CNN about the thought process behind her NFT sales have gone unanswered. The statement about the auction says Trump will "grant the opening round of scholarships to recipients during the first quarter of 2022," though details about the scholarships were not included.
