Official Trump Campaign Merchandise - *vomit*

[ufcasey]

They have new arrivals! shop.donaldjtrump.com/collections/new-arrivals

Men's wear:


Bumper stickers:


Buttons:


Interestingly, there are no "fun" Women's shirts - apparently the campaign must suspect that women don't have the same sense of "humor" as the men do.

[AAM2012]

Those are disgusting.

[froggy76]

Gross. Official campaign merchandise should support the candidate, not insult the opponent.

[JLV]

He must be feeling extra sensitive from Hillary's new merch:

[ESF]

Not only are the crass, but they are moronic. For most of these, anyone standing a couple feet away or making a quick glance is going to think the shirt is in support of Hillary.

[bernsteincat]

They couldn't even be original enough to come up with their own designs, they had to recycle Hillary's mercy design. SAD!

(My first use of SAD! I'm so excited!)

[pixy0stix]

I admit, the first time I saw the pantsuit on fire I laughed.

::shame face::

[JLV]

God, now I feel like I should use my $10 off code and buy something from HRC's site.

[sparrowsong]

Lol, I love the "I have a very good brain" hat.

[Jalapeñomel]

How mature.

That one actually made me the most mad because it's so sexist. I get it's a word play, but still.

[wambam]

The actual face I'm making: 

[1confused1]

Is this the first campaign that has gotten this dirty? I don't remember past candidates absolutely bashing their opponent.

It is? I thought it's because her pantsuits are iconic and symbolic of HRC.

Nope, the NOBAMA, NOPE, and other anti-Obama shirts from 2008 were pretty bad. I remember one with Michelle depicted as an angry woman that had me so pissed. And there were monkey shirts and all that. Terrible.  Not sure if any came from the campaign, but they were around.

[mbcdefg]

I'd love to know what country these were made in.

You've never heard of "liar, liar, pants on fire"? It's a play off of that.

I get that. I'm not seeing where it's sexist. I mean, knowing the Trump campaign it probably is, but inherently without the source, it's not.

I don't think it came directly from the McCain campaign, but 2008 was a cesspool of disgusting anti-Obama paraphernalia. I mean truly vile stuff. But I lived in Kentucky at the time, so that might be part of it.

To me, the original 'pants' part could still apply to HRC. What, a woman can't wear pants? You have to change it to pantsuit to make sure you know you're talking about Hillary who is a woman? Maybe just me.

I thought she started wearing the pantsuits because of all of the "cankles" comments she would get whenever she showed her legs.

You change it to pantsuit, to know you're talking about HRC, because that's what she wears. LOL!

This was my first thought.  Poor design.

(sad!)

Precisely. There's a local candidate who has put up "AguLiar" signs against his opposition (Aguilar), but when you glance quickly at them you miss the actual point. They just look like Aguilar signs.

The pantsuit has been Hillary's signature style for a long time. It's just playing on that. Like pixy that one did make me giggle in spite of myself. I don't think that particular one is blatantly misogynistic given that her wearing pantsuits is a specific thing.

[taratru]

You know, it really does make me sad to see that's what people can buy, especially when I think about all the positive, feel-good shit on HRC's website. The difference is unsettling.

Her Twitter profile says "pantsuit aficionado."

Get out of here with your valid points! That's sexist! Haha

Alright. I concede.

That's fabulous! Love her so much!

[smock]

I agree that taking her designs is a really dumb mistake, because from a distance it totally looks pro-Hillary!

I drove by a "Hillary for Prison" sign recently, and it took me a second glance to realize it wasn't an HRC sign. I'm guessing most of the people driving by just see the flag and big HILLARY without the rest.
