Matthew SheffieldIt appears that Donald Trump's NFT image of himself as a cowboy comes from an Amazon image that was slightly altered. https://www.amazon.com/Scully-Rangewear-Canvas-Natural-XX-Large/dp/B00847UT34
The Trump astronaut NFT image appears to have been a recolored image that was stolen from @benedictredgrov https://www.wired.co.uk/article/nasa-archive-photos-apollo-space-shuttle
The Trump fighter jet pilot NFT seems to be a Shutterstock image. Did they license it? https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/usable-fighter-pilots-body-his-helmet-218482390

Trump's NFT of him pretending to be a hunter (something he would not be caught dead doing in real life) seems to be derived from this wader set https://dnwoutdoors.com/banded-aspire-wader/?sku=BANDED%20B1100025%7CCROC%7C12
