Donald Trump is struggling, but he doesn’t want you to know it. Despite his constant brags about how well he’s doing (which only happens when he lies or shares an inaccurate poll), Trump has become infamous for his pathetic attempts to raise campaign funds. Trump and his team have been called out several times for sending newsletters to their fanbase, fear mongering to raise funds. They’ve even launched horrendously overpriced (and ugly) products to help supplement Trump’s re-election campaign, which isn’t a good sign.
Last year, Trump made a pathetic attempt to raise funds for 2020 by releasing summer merchandise. This product launch included $65 beach towels and $55 bathing suits, all of which were branded with his name and his disgusting “Make America Great Again” tagline. The results were, well, gross. See for yourself:
While it’s no longer summer, Trump is trying to find other ways to scramble for cash and his new product line should make every American furious. Trump’s online campaign store has just released new merchandise, just in time for football season. Trump — a man who has attacked NFL players for their peaceful protests against the white supremacy he defends — is selling $99 football jerseys.
Nevermind the fact that these are ugly as hell.We would love to see the public’s reaction to anyone who dares to wear these items outside. Really, there isn’t a faster way to get beaten up at a football game than wearing one of these.
These jerseys are a direct insult to Colin Kaepernick and many other courageous football players who have knelt during the National Anthem to protest racial injustice — and the president has attacked them aggressively for it. Unfortunately, we know that some racist Trump supporters will love this idea, and will be willing to shell out nearly $100 to wear one of these gross jerseys.
Of course, some portion of sales will go toward paying Trump’s ridiculous legal fees in the Russia investigation being conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Desperate times call for desperate measures and this product launch proves that Trump is hitting a wall.
