Do you all remember that scene from the movie Scanners? You know the scene I’m talking about, right? If you don’t want to end up like that guy Do Not Watch That Video! My head just exploded and I’m still picking up the pieces.
Well, you’ve been warned…

Expensive? It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity! How many bears have that? Plus, it can rise and defeat the storm! Or maybe it is the storm, I wasn’t too clear on that point. Actually, it always makes me a little nervous when the US president is described with words like sturm.

This disclaimer from the “official Trumpy Bear website”:
Sorry, we cannot accept returns of intentionally damaged bears.
eta: evidently, the bears on Amazon are counterfeit.

The “Teddy Bear” is so named because of an incident on a 1902 hunting trip in which Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt refused to kill a bear in an unsportsmanlike manner.
So it’s pretty relevant to remember that the “Trumpy Bear” is named after a President who legalized hunting bears from planes and even killing hibernating bears in their dens along with their cubs.

They stuff an American flag inside a god damn bear and then go all apoplectic over football players kneeling to protest violence against African Americans… So crass commercialism of the flag and stuffing it inside toys is fine, but protesting is unAmerican? Am I getting that right?

Plus there is Teddy Roosevelt conclusively proving Bigfoot does not exist.
If Bigfoot did exist, T-R would have already had it mounted and displayed in the trophy room at Sagamore Hill
(As a kid growing up on Long Island, the field trip to T-R’s home in Oyster Bay was obligatory)

Surely this is a satire. The video is almost nauseating to watch. Wait, I just searched and found out that it is a real product and ready to sell. Zeus help us.
