I just saw on Facebook that Trump is selling fabric swatches from the suit that he wore at the debate with Pres. Biden. When I first saw the post online I figured it had to be made up. I mean, come on!?! So I googled and checked a couple of sites. It’s true. Huh?
There is a catch though. First you have to buy a certain amount of playing cards with his picture on them.
Also, the golden tennis shoes and the Bibles, with the US Constitution and the words to Lee Greenwood’s “I’m proud to be an American” included in it, are still available. I think back in the day these types of men were called carpetbaggers. Scammers. People willing to do anything to take your money.
All of these items can set Trump followers back a pretty penny. None of the items are cheap. Flags. Hats. Shirts too. Aren’t they the ones who want to have him lower their cost of living and turn the economy around? How about you don’t waste money on his merchandise? Huh?
the other day Trump went to Arlington National Cemetery with the family of a war hero. When asked to stay away from a particularly sacred area he and ‘his people’ did not listen and went anyway. The ‘photo opportunity’ was too enticing I guess. Thumbs up! 👍 with a big smile! It is not a surprise from a man who has put down others who have been Prisoners of War (including John McCain), or hurt, or killed in battle defending the US. Oh, and he made fun of those Gold Star parents. Remember that? But people still support him? Huh ?
Oh, and remember when he mocked a disabled man at a rally? That was years ago. That should have been an early indicator. I have not forgotten. Have you? Huh?
Remember when he made up lies about where Pres. Obama was born? And he told stories about Ted Cruz’s father and said his wife was unattractive?
Also, remember when he was found guilty of sexually assaulting E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room? He put his hand up her dress for a feel. He has to pay over $88 million in damages. I guess that’s why he is selling his suit swatches. He has unbelievable legal costs! Oh, and remember how he held court each day before going in to that trial and made up lies about it? He put down the judge! Huh?
Here’s one: Remember when he said there were good people on both sides in Charlottesville? That was when white supremists were marching. And remember when he spoke to the crowd of MAGA supporters before they went off to create an insurrection at the Capitol because they wanted VP Pence to stop the final approval of the election? And, then he sat in the White House dining room for 4 hours and watched it on TV? That was a ‘huh’ moment for sure. I mean, what president doesn’t care while watching members of the Capitol police and others get beat up? And also just wait and watch the building, which is the center of democracy, get ransacked? Members of Congress fleeing for their lives. Huh?
Thinking back, remember when he REALLY lost the election (even though he could never admit he did) and pouted and would not attend the Biden inauguration? He was the first president EVER who could not handle ‘the peaceful transition of power’ and welcome the Bidens to the White House. Instead he flew away on his helicopter to avoid it all. A grown man. Not able to accept defeat. Huh?
There are endless ‘huh?’ Moments. The IQ test, the massive amount of “Truth Social” tweets, his love of Hannibal Lector, and more. I think his behavior shows a man unhinged. But…
huh?
Don’t forget he is a felon. He cannot legally own a gun anymore. And, he has other indictments and court cases coming up.
Well, I recently had a little online discussion with someone who basically said to me that none of it matters. To them the character of a person running for president does not matter. They completely don’t care about all of Trump’s bad language, the mean names he calls others, the lies about crowd sizes and everything else, his selling merchandise to raise legal funds, and whatever else he does. It doesn’t matter.
For me, that is the biggest ‘huh?’ Of all.
