    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?

        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.

          What I mean is that, at $10000 a night, you can book a 10 day stay and fork over $100k for what looks like a regular stay at a hotel resort.

          Buying 10000 pieces of suit in the mail is… Well, okay, I don’t know what that is. You’re right about unorthodox, JFC.

      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.

          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

      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.

    The ones who argued his public mugshot would lose him supporters were idiots. Always got my comments buried for saying rhat and how the first thing he’d do was market his mugshot and exploit it for his political brand yet here we are.

      Yeah, that’s just not how cults work. Especially when the idol is supposedly “counter culture” due to the “deep state” having it out for them.

        It’s the same as in 2016 how Trump supporters would share clips and compilations of reactions to him from liberal media personalities, and how Hillary invented the “deplorable” slogan for them. His political brand was built by reactions to him largely from liberal media.

      I actually got to think that way and was surprised that he’s unashamedly using his mugshot to his benefit.

      But I don’t care. That mugshot is a delight to see. A US president’s mugshot? A corrupt one? I’m loving it!

    Given Trump’s penchant for grifting and fraud, I’m wondering if he kept the suit, had someone buy a series of similar looking suits as cheaply as possible, and then cut those up to sell. Why would he care if the hunk of fabric that he SAID came from his suit actually came from some thrift store find?

      Why would he even have to cut a suit. Knowing this fraud piece of shit, he probably just sourced the cheapest fabric that looks like the fabric of his suit and sells chunks of fabric that was never part of anything.

      He truly does love America because a not insignificant portion of the population are absolutely dumb as bricks and will gleefully join a cult that fleeces them.
