All political campaigns sell merchandise, but judging from a new Politico article, nobody does it more “brilliant and sinister” than the Trump campaign:
Trump '20 is monetizing grievance politics through an elaborate merch campaign
-Plastic straws
-"Pencil-neck Adam Schiff" tees
-Obama spying-on-Trump tees
-"Stand up for America" football jerseys
-"WITCH HUNT" mugshttps://t.co/vAa3yV74n6— Alex Isenstadt (@politicoalex) July 29, 2019
Because that kind of thing’s exclusive somehow to Trump?
Say, has anyone introduced you to the DNC?

Apparently not.
Unlike democrats who raise money off of say Kavanaugh.. planned parenthood etc ?
It's the name of the game. https://t.co/fcbv0eNs9i

That would be the plot twist of the decade.
Absolutely brilliant of him, yes .

As if we don't have access to DNC emailings.
They have George Takei equating our border crisis with internment camps. But straws… pic.twitter.com/o8kvSy0Gpd— Elmer Jay (@MrFudd1) July 29, 2019
Gee, it’s a good thing Democrats never “monetize grievance politics”! *Eye roll*
meanwhile the state of the democrat party: https://t.co/nB1wUprxgC

Maybe the Dems are just a little jealous:
Update: Trump reelect has now received over 36,700 orders of straws – good for over $550k https://t.co/M4zuLplwYD
