I hope nobody wastes their vote on Trump because they find his marketing gimmickes endearing and simply ignore his incompetent & authoritarian obsession with being President. HIs MAGA caps woud be more accurate if they said MAMA for Make America MIne (i.e. Trump's) Again. He mismanaged it the first time and a stuffed bear, talking fish, and a red cap won't change that if he manages to skim the Presidency by a scant margin won by shallow marketing gimmicks. I also hope they don't vote for Elon Musks's sweepstakes gimmick to help Trump put huge tariffs on imported EV's, that Tesla will otherwise have to compete with, and deny the public the advantage of free market competition making EV's more affordable. Musk shoud get one vote like every other citizen and not use gimmicks & loopholes to indirectly determine additional votes for his own purpose. If he can afford to bribe voters with $1,000,000 per day he should cut the price of his Tesla's by $1,000,000 per day of production. That would be serving the customer instead of using a sweepstakes to get Trump eklected and owing Musk the favor of non-compete tariffs against imported EV makers at everyone else's expense.
 
The only thing probably worth having, just for posterity's sake, is a Trump bobble head doll, for obvious reasons.

Well, for one thing, most of the merch Donny sells is for his personal enrichment, whereas most if not all of Harris's merch is for the campaign.......so there is that.

Which campaign- if successful- has every possibility of enriching Harris and Walz. Historically and practically speaking. Some of their friends too. Probably not the ones limited to buying a fifty dollar cup though.

I don't see a significant difference, but I do notice you moved away from comparing the merchandise itself.
 
No i did not, I focused on the type of products and where the money goes. I understand why you don't want to discuss where the money for the merch goes and instead attempted to goalpost about how getting into office reaps rewards....which is REALLY ironic in the context of the Orange ****er, who as I just pointed out is unique in the amount of personal wealth he has captured while serving....not to mention his SOL getting billions from Saudi Arabia.

Every time your lot brings up something dems do, anyone can point to infinitely larger levels committed by Donny. Your lot is bathed in hypocrisy.

It's always hard to imagine how or why the Trumpeteers haven't figured it out yet. Even if Harris took out her Glock and "shot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue", she'd still only be taking one step beyond the end of a path already paved by Trump himself 10 years ago.

When it comes to criticizing Harris, all of the impotence on the right can be traced directly right back to Trump himself. It is almost impossible for any candidate to eclipse his shameful libelous and criminal record.
 

I didn't deny any of your claims about Trump.

I noted that Harris benefits from the sale of her merchandise,and stands to benefit a great deal more if her campaign is successful. I noted that in response to your apprehension that Trump might benefit from the sale of his merchandise.

Oh wait....you didn't buy one of those $95 aprons did you?
 

No criticizing the savior of truth, justice, and the American way. Got it. I mean...it's just great how she appeared right in the nick of time.

And I already said that the Orange ****, his family, is unique in US history for the level of PERSONAL wealth they have accumulated while he was in office. You are not reading responses, you are going in circles. You are also speculating about Harris while ignoring the personal wealth accumulated by Donny, et al.

He has for years benefitted from his grifts, as has his family, most of the current sales are personal benefit, not for the campaign. Why do need me to repeat this?
 

So both Harris and Trump benefit from the sales of their respective merchandise, and you're angry because Trump benefits more.

Weird thing to be angry about.

Course....I might be pissed off if I was out 95 bucks for an apron too.

No, you keep equating the Orange ****ers personal wealth gains to the Harris campaign gains.

You keep ignoring what I post and then create straw argument.

I'm more angry about Orange ****er supporters conflating and ignoring what the asshole does, how he continually breaks all sorts of norms, like not divesting when gaining office, not personally profiting from the office and the campaign. It bothers me when these same people just can't read things and keep them straight....but they are symptoms of the same illness.

I'm not a merch guy, another assumption gone wrong. Even your imaginings are wrong about me.
