I do own a direct to film and sublimation printer for making tshirts and merch.. (handy to have for volunteering stuff). Hard to keep unclogged if you use it rarely. On Amazon UK because trump means fart there. It's not even intended as political.
Trump is a marketer, he saw an ignored demand and filled it. Grifters saw something to cheerlead, making a few bucks. The US needs to rid itself of internal parasites (Neo cons and commies). To expand manufacturing you need cheap electricity and automation, so not many jobs but would be less dependent on China.
The Trump grifters don't like others grifting off of them. Florida man stole money meant for Trump, DeSantis, others, indictment alleges Jason Pallante of Orlando is accused of running dozens of fake campaign websites to get political donations. https://www.tampabay.com/news/crime...ant-trump-desantis-others-indictment-alleges/ An Orlando man was indicted Tuesday for allegedly running a scheme to defraud political donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars they thought was going to former President Donald Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis and others, according to the Department of Justice. Jason Pallante, 52, was charged by a federal grand jury with three counts of mail fraud and four counts of wire fraud for using dozens of online websites — a fraction of the 2,000 domains the Justice Department said he purchased — that he designed to appear affiliated with various political campaigns in 2024 to trick people into donating, according to the indictment. At one point, he received a $250,000 donation from someone who filled out a communications form on a website claiming to support former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, the indictment says. The websites claimed donations would support candidates they depicted but instead went to a super PAC called America Great PAC, where Pallante would transfer some funds to personal bank accounts for his use or to further the scheme, court records show. Prosecutors say he transferred more than $496,000 to personal accounts or other business entities, the records show. The PAC’s official address is in Washington, where all mail including donation checks would be received, according to the indictment. The scheme began at least as early as January 2023 and lasted until at least Nov. 25 of this year, the indictment says. Many candidates he claimed to support were from the Republican presidential primary. He controlled at least 28 websites claiming to support Trump, at least 27 for DeSantis, at least 14 for Haley, at least 10 for Vivek Ramaswamy, at least nine for former Vice President Mike Pence and at least seven for U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, the indictment says. He also used proceeds from the websites to buy or renew other domains, including ones claiming to support Democrats such as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Others included sites about guns, female models, real estate, online dating and even buying wigs made of human hair, federal records show. Some websites were designed with first-person language from candidates, with one Trump site asking visitors to “Join My Movement” and “Support Me Now.” Others used language implying they were affiliated with official campaigns. Pallante reported to the Federal Elections Commission that his PAC received about $237,000 in contributions in 2023 and $589,000 in 2024, according to court records. After the primary narrowed to Trump and Haley early this year, Pallante continued to operate sites claiming to support them, and the majority of contributions came from sites about Haley, the indictment says. The Haley campaign sent him a cease-and-desist letter, which he ignored, records show. A donor of $50 through a Haley site messaged Pallante and wanted a refund because they felt defrauded, according to the indictment. He told them he couldn’t because the money had been spent supporting Haley but refunded it when they threatened to report him to the FEC, the indictment says. The indictment specifically mentions three other donors from D.C. who intended to support Haley’s campaign but wouldn’t have donated the money had they known it was going to America Great PAC. If convicted on all seven counts, he could face a maximum of 140 years in prison.

China didn't steal the jobs. American manufacturing jobs were sent over there by multinational corporations and politicians because of cheap slave labor.
