The crassness of such merchandising would be laughable if wasn't so, well - crass. However it is entirely in keeping with the other crap you can purchase via his vulgar "Trump Store". There are slippers, chocolates, skin care products, jewellery and clothing ranges for men and women. The list goes on.
Even more recently, he also launched a range of watches that mostly sell for $499 though the top of the range "Tourbillon" watch sells for $100,000.
However, surely the pinnacle of #45's vulgar vanity profiteering remains his"God Bless The USA Bible". An updated edition is referred to as "The Day God Intervened Edition" which is described thus in the marketing blurb: "This beautiful God Bless The USA Bible has been custom embossed to in remembrance of the day that God intervened during President Donald J. Trump’s assassination attempt". Can you see the grammatical blunder in the middle? Clearly proof readers at godblesstheusabible.com could not. Also I would ask, who did he attempt to assassinate?
In any case, did God really intervene? Perhaps it was Satan who made the bullet skim the top of his right ear, miraculously leaving no scar.
Sarcastically, I find it surprising that other world leaders haven't followed The Orange Turnip's example by launching their own online stores. Emmanuel Macron could promote a range of men's fragrances including "Eau de Seine" and "Parfum de Gauloises". Australia's Anthony Albanese could market "Once a Jolly Swagman" bush products including billy cans, leather belts, boot laces, fire lighters, insect sprays and sleeping bags. Here in Great Britain, Sir Keir Starmer could sell fountain pens, University of Leeds neckties, Arsenal scarves and of course a new range of designer spectacles that would make almost anyone look stunningly diplomatic .
