Zone1 The ethics of Trumpstore.com

[toobfreak]

By the way, the Trumpstore is frickin' huge.

Must be a YUGE market for the stuff! Personally, I see a lot of good in the place as I encourage all patriots to wear as much Trump gear as possible just to shove it in leftists faces after what went on back in 2016, 2017, etc.

Finding a hundred examples of clearly tacky crap made in China should prove no challenge whatsoever. I'll look tomorrow if no one else can be bothered..

At least we know where your priorities are. Why haven't you called up your democrat congressperson to complain about these illegalities to them?

Maybe they can impeach Trump over it.

ITMT, I note that Trump donates his salary to the Treasury essentially working for free, so profits do not appear to be his greatest motivation.

Tacky as hell, no?
How is it ethical?:

5 CFR § 2635.702 - Use of public office for private gain.

Politicians should be allowed to sell merchandise for their brand, if you ask me.

But therein lies the problem. I can't think of a single democrat-- not Nancy or Chuck, nor Al nor Fetterman, nor AOC or Jeffries or Joe or Kammy whom anyone would want their name on their apparel.

And that just bugs the hell out of the Left.

For one thing, if they are popular enough for their name to sell merchandise, they must be doing something right.

Here's hoping that half the politicians in Washington should be so popular.

Is TrumpStore.com a government website? Does promise anything if you buy the merchandise? it even mention the word "president"?

The hypocrisy of the left knows no limits. The son of the previous president literally flew around the planet collecting giant bags of cash that was then distributed to Biden crime family members in return for access to the president. Yet this dumbass website violates the emoluments clause?

I think if you spend at least $250, they will send you an autographed ballcap.

If you spend at least $2500, you'll win a ticket to a raffle to sit at the table and have dinner with Trump (in the same room with).

If you spend at least $25,000, you will get an invite to the next state of the union address.

If you spend at least $250,000, you can request any small country not in NATO be bombed.

And if you spend at least $2,500,000, Trump will let you have a shot at wooing Ivanka.

If I spend $25,000,000 can I get the Gulf of California renamed the Gulf of Eman?

No, but for that price, Trump can arrange for you to ride shotgun in the next B-2 air raid over Fordow.

Nothing wrong with it.
Trump Home Store and it's branches have been in service since 2007.

If you don't like it, don't shop there.

But then again, you DementiacRats always gotta be bitchin, whinin, and cryin about something that has no bearing on anything.

It's obvious your TDS keeps you from understanding how business works.

Picture Washington selling cheesy plastic molds sporting his famous crossing of the Delaware.. Lincoln's family demanding a cut from Ford for every Lincoln Continental ever sold..

I find it odd that Michael Cohen is an executive since he was suing Trump. Seems like a payoff disguised as a job.

A politician always already works with a DIVERSIFIED income + investment dividends income stream set ;-)

Get. Creative.
Use caricature drawing powers, to your own advantage!
GOOD LUCK.

For instance; the dude who took over Lithuanian politics on NATO's behalf and won the elections there, owns a COOKIE FACTORY that is quite popular with the youth in that region ;-)
And I'm not talking browser cookies or space cakes, I'm talking sugary supermarket cookies.

He gets a taste from each sale. He would NOT allow his name to be used if he was NOT in on action. He is a life long grifter. He cheated on each of his wives. He attended parties at Epstein's home party where underage girls were made available. He is an adjudicated rapist. IF he was Democrat, you would be howling for impeachment.

If he was a democrat all that would be true.

We already have that. It didn't cell. Nothing sells like TrumpStore stuff. Only thing Barack ever succeeded in marketing and selling a lot of was his Obama phones.

buuutttt..... these are highly negative sales ads for poor former President Obama.
caricatures might be the wrong searchterm even. "sales promo" is much better.
new artwork will have to be drawn as pretty 2D / 3D cartoons from scratch, FOR ALL #USA politicians, regardless of which Party they work for (currently or in the future).

And yet, the Biden family ran a profitable influence-peddling business while Joe was President.

And an international extortion racket. Yet the ICJ has never indicted him and his family of money launderers.

So is trumpstore.com lawful?

I bought a pencil from it the other day, and the very next day one of these crammed with crates of cool govt. stuff was dropped off in my front yard with a Thank you note From President Trump!

Now you have an innernetz link to evidence of how corrupt the store is! Run and tell all your friends!

Or something.

• Allen Weisselberg, former CFO of the Trump Organization; pleaded guilty to 15 criminal charges and served a five-month jail sentence

A real stand up bunch.
