Classy. Can’t wait to see hundreds of the life sized version on the White House Holiday Tree.
Maybe with some sparklie gold pasties - they look great in the wind.

You’d have to be really into Turmp to not have even a single friend or relative who would “accidentally” smash this Hell-tchotchke on sight

My two fav ornaments- my blown glass Saturn & original Shuttlecraft where you press the button and Mr Spock says Happy Holidays. I have to string them over the counter since I got moms LED tree.

I suspect a lot of Trump proxies buying it to drive it up on the bestseller lists. He’s dumb enough to think buying his own stuff off of Amazon will cost him nothing.

He must’ve been planning this for at least a couple months, you can’t just rush-release an item to the market.
Unless of course he found a manufacturer in China on Alibaba who could just paste his slogan on their ready-made cap-ornaments.
I have no doubt that he will use the Office of The President to benefit his own companies. That is what the entire goal of his life has been since he was in his 20’s. Can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

The difference being that Grant himself evidently wasn’t corrupt, he just made terrible decisions about who to have in his administration.

Ha, I was wondering if they were made in China, but it seemed like, at this point, Trump might have some qualms about that. But of course not.
He could fit more of the small ones on the tree, and the profit margin is so much bigger. Why, he could make hundreds of thousands of dollars off the white house by having it buy them from him. He’ll do it. He’ll figure out ways of holding state events at his buildings, too, I imagine. I was reading about how much money he’s already made off the presidential run. Apparently the secret service aren’t allowed to take gifts, so they have to pay for anything of value they’re given - e.g. plane tickets. Which means, by using his own planes - and flying frequently - Trump has forced the secret service to have to pay him $1.6 million dollars so far. His decision to spend time in Trump tower means they’ll have to rent space from him there as well.
Since he already is, I think we’re well beyond doubt. My only question at this point is whether the US military will become involved in protecting his business interests. Given all the property around the world with his name on it that will make awfully tempting terrorist targets, the issue’s going to come up sooner or later…

The way Amazon’s automatic discounting system ‘works’ he could well end up making money.
