that der "sell marked up products to idiots in the name of patriotism" strategy is alive and well https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ign-starts-selling-plastic-straws/1775841001/ 'Liberal paper straws don’t work': Trump campaign starts selling plastic straws WASHINGTON – The Trump campaign says they have a plan to make straws great again. Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump's re-election campaign manager, tweeted on Thursday evening, "Making Straws Great Again," along with a link to buy Trump-branded straws from the Trump campaign store. "Liberal paper straws don’t work. STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today," says the straws' description on the Trump campaign website. The pack of 10 straws sells for $15, coming out to a cost of $1.50 a straw. According to the posting, the straws are "Laser engraved."
^^I'll concede the bandana is stupid but have seen hats in that price range before. I'll concede that the bulk of the mark up is essentially a political donation. Paying 1.5$ for a product that's half a cent to own the libs is a whole 'nother level. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/09/pap...r-the-environment-but-they-will-cost-you.html
Precisely. You don't think Trump sat around and developed a straw he could charge $1.50 for, do you? All this shit is marketers sitting around drumming up merchandise to make people feel good about overpaying for something they can push on the people around them to show their support for their candidate. No different than paying some outrageous amount of money for sports team apparel.
15 Pack of plastic MAGA straws - $15 Trolling liberals that want to ban plastic straws - Priceless Sounds like a good deal to me.
I honestly haven't met a single liberal that's cares that much about straws. Seems like the only owning is to your wallet
I love how it is considered trolling liberals when Trumpettes are convinced to spend money on something liberals don't give a shit about. Lefties remain ambivalent, Righties are wasting money on......straws, and Trump just gets richer. Too blind to see that Trump is trolling the right and making money haha.
