    I’d be willing to bet even if you pay the 5,000 you wouldn’t be getting fabric from that actual suit. Donald Duck is such a grifter even his grifts are grifts

    $1,000 says that:
    a) that’s not the actual suit he wore
    and
    b) there’s a lot more than a single suit worth of fabric up for sale.

      The former president has released a series of digital trading cards priced at $99 each and anyone who buys all 47 will receive a physical card containing a piece of the “priceless” navy suit and be invited to a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago.

      They aren’t even selling the suit. They’re selling digital trading cards, LMAO. Collect em all and get a piece of garbage and cheeseburder.

        If I thought there was actually a dinner at the end of it and that I could talk to him I would go just to be like

        “Yo, you’re the guy on the cards. I didn’t know you actually existed”

        “I wish I looked as good as I do on those cards, that I can tell you,” the former president says in the video.

        “They give me muscles where, believe me, I don’t have them.”

        This may be the most honest and down-to-earth thing he’s ever said

    I suspect money laundering or illegal donations. It’ll sell out, just like his NFT playing cards. Not because people like my dad are clamoring for it, but because people that can’t give him money publicly will buy them.

      Aren’t there more effective ways to do this, like $10000 a night stays at mar-a-lago?

      This stuff does seem, at least, to be aimed at the shit munchers

        I would think that this is less trackable. Trump is under a microscope in several courts and if they found that 100 people stayed in the same suite on the same night and nobody actually showed up then it’s a bright red flag. But selling chunks of suit in the mail? It’s unorthodox by design.

      Out of the regular suit?

      Because there’s no way he’ll stop selling pieces claiming it came from that suit. I’d be surprised if any are honestly, I bet Rudy (or some other idiot) found a bag of scraps at a tailorshop and that’s what they’re selling.

    I laugh a bit every time I think of some teabagger dumbass falling for donnie’s “never surrender” nonsense when it’s an actual picture of him surrendering.

      I wouldn’t call it surrendered until he’s actually in jail with no bond. At this point he could still very well find a way out of the country if he’s even convicted.

      And judging by the shit show the courts have allowed thus far, I’m sadly not holding my breath.

        I mean, point taken. He’s not properly locked up like he should be. I’m just saying the mugshot is taken during his literal surrender - the fourth time he did this year, by the way. But he tells his idiot base “never surrender” and sells them pics…of actual evidence of his surrender. It’s beyond idiotic.

        I hope everyone that bought such a t-shirt, mug, etc…is reminded that their little memorabilia is a replica of his surrender.

        Unfortunately I think it’s the government flirting around a possibility they know is very real because we saw it once -

        You lock up Trump and the justice department will come under siege immediately by his voters, and you either let them win and they win, or you use violence against the violence against the government and they win (because self defense is tyranny to them.)

          I mean the govt has been known to use the military against civilian protests.

          Don’t remember which president it was but he ordered the army* to open fire on civilians protesting on the white house lawn. Also police bombing buildings. It’s funny when fellow Americans act like we don’t live in a country where the govt will actively kill you if you go against their wishes enough.

          *I don’t remember if it was the army or the national guard

    I only support his grifting because it’s taking away money that would otherwise be going to reelecting Republicans.
