I'd rather politicians sell stupid trading cards to raise cash than to accept bribes from Goldman Sachs via speaking fees.
AOC also sells a ton of overpriced merch to raise cash, so it's not unheard of.

So... this isn't an "either/or" situation. This is a "both/and then some" situation, and... I'm sure we'll see more variations on this until Trump dies.
Plenty wrong with Trump but also so many lies told about him just to fundraise off of and bump up clicks.
It's got an American flag on the side, but no tag saying "made in ..." anywhere. You'd think if it were made in the US, it would prominently state that. Of course there's no way to know if it's an "authentic" MAGA hat personally sold by Trump himself (lol), but it seems to be a representative sample.
I'd been holding on to it hoping to think of something intelligent to do with it, but that became a lot harder after Trump doubled down on the ignorant pandemic denial and trashed the economy.
