a man died. this orange piece of shit ~~didnt even attend the funeral~~ ... and here he is extending his grift.
incredibly disgusting
e. he changed his mind
Imagine your spouse taking a bullet intended for Trump, then watching him sell shoes to commemorate and profit from the event. Imagine witnessing these things occur as any person, and still thinking Trump deserves a donation or a vote.
Edit - I know that no one likes comments about downvotes, but I just wanted to say that nothing confirms my expectations of Republicans more than the knowledge that some butthurt maga read what I wrote above, and disagreed strongly enough to downvote it rather than pause for one moment to consider what that would feel like if someone they cared about were shot.
It was like 10 minutes ago. Did the funeral even happen yet?
Speaking of which, how the fuck did they even get this product out so fast?! I mean, I realize it's most likely just a miracle of modern on-demand/just-in-time manufacturing and logistics, but I'll be damned if the conspiratorial part of me isn't thinking this lends credence to the notion that the assassination attempt was a false flag planned in advance.
It is super easy right now to make these quickly, if you put up more cash for a rush job and air freight. And at $300 each, they have plenty of margin to cover that.
The rational part of me is aware of that, but it's still hard to believe, you know?
The cheapest ground beef I can find is at Costco, in the form of frozen patties, and their beef comes from Argentina, Brazil, Germany, and the US.
Like, how is that possibly less expensive than...
And then Del Monte fruit cups! Those fruits are from all over the world diced into a cup, and sold for like $1.
Nothing makes any sense.
when they say it comes from those 4 countries, I'm pretty sure that's a comforting smokescreen to bury the fact that the vast majority is from slashed and burned rainforest land in Brazil.
They are taking orders, they aren't like on the shelf at Walmart or anything.
Nah. What's the saying...never let a tragedy go to waste?
No, the funeral is tomorrow and I doubt Trump would be allowed to attend. All the security would be impactful to the service.
It looks like the product is just a mockup and not a real product.
The funeral is private.
He started selling these on Monday. He didn’t call the victim’s wife until Tuesday.
You know calling them was NOT his idea.
The guy who died was also a disgusting POS.
