https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-merchandise-black-friday-deals-b2875040.html President Donald Trump offered his supporters exclusive Black Friday "deals" on MAGA merchandise - but they appeared to be more expensive than the regular prices listed on his website.
In emails, that went out to his mailing list from November 24, the president touted special deals on items including a Christmas tree ornament of a red MAGA hat; a 2026 MAGA calendar, and wrapping paper decorated with a fist-pumping Trump in a Santa hat.
The emails, first reported by Meidas Touch Network, noted that the president feels “extra thankful” for his supporters and encourages them to “snag” the deals now.
The Black Friday offer email touted the MAGA hat ornament for $37. Yet, on the official Trump Merchandise Store website, the same decoration costs $30. Similarly, a promo for the Trump 2026 calendar boasts of a “new low price” of $32. The same calendar sells for $25 on the official merch site.
Follow-up emails, sent in the days leading up to Black Friday and again on November 29, announced that the offer on both products had been “extended,” though did not say until when.
The White House directed The Independent to the Trump Organization for comment about the president’s merchandise prices.
Supporters were also offered a “new low price” on a festive MAGA hat - featuring the words “Make America Great” with Christmas lights and trees - which was reduced to “just $35” via email. The same hat appears to retail for $28 on the official merchandise store.
A large number of Americans have said they plan to tighten their holiday spending budget this year in the face of widespread economic uncertainty.
Two in five U.S. consumers (42 percent) said they intend to spend less on Christmas shopping than in 2024, according to a recent Economic Impact Survey commissioned by insurance company Nationwide.

Despite a relative easing of inflation, costs of essentials like groceries, utilities, and rent remain high, leaving many to prioritize bills instead of shelling out on luxuries. Trump has claimed that he has almost eliminated inflation completely. “We have almost no inflation. We’re down now to 2 percent,” Trump said at an event earlier this month. “Inflation is almost nonexistent.” The Trump administration’s tariffs are also having an impact, particularly on lower-income households which spend a larger share of their earnings on goods, many of which are imported, according to the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The Christmas items are the latest attempt by Trump to cash in on the presidency after he has previously sold guitars, gold high-top sneakers, branded watches and even Bibles, among other products. The president also launched a new cryptocurrency – $TRUMP Coin – on the day he returned to office, and is one of the forms of payment accepted online for merchandise. Trump’s 2025 seasonal deals are reminiscent of last year, when he also bombarded supporters with emails advertising branded items and encouraging people to donate to the Trump National Committee, a joint fundraising effort of the Never Surrender PAC and the Republican National Committee. The 2024 Trump holiday gift guide, which promised to “make the holidays that much greater,” included $150 sequin shirts, a $550 “bling” clutch and $95 baubles in the shape of Mar-a-Lago. Other gifts included Trump advent calendars, $22 candy cane socks, $72 pajamas, a $180 pickleball paddle, tie clips, belts, sunglasses, and, of course, a whole range of MAGA hats.

>>1461425 This sets a precedent that all future republican electees and nominees will be grifters and will line their own pockets, making the presidential election a bid for wealth instead of political justification. Trump really was a democrat all along, single handedly destroying the republican party from the inside. I voted for this!

>>1461447 I'm just expanding on your viewpoint.
Trump was always a name and Trump is an US institution. Essentially he's been doing business forever.
Obama takes speaking engagements, as a name and brand all his own.
I'm pretty sure Pelosi is a geriatric stripper with those glorious hoo-ha's on her chest. Would fucking motorboat.
And, I don't care if money is made by people selling their name.
However, you do, but you're really focused on Trump. Shouldn't you be holding your own to the same standards?
That's my question.

>>1461457 >The Hatch Act of 1939, An Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, is a United States federal law that prohibits civil service employees in the executive branch of the federal government,[2] except the president and vice president,[3] from engaging in some forms of political activity. Still means something. You just don't know what it means.
> local Democratic Party politicians used employees of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) during the congressional elections of 1938 provided the immediate impetus for the passage of the Hatch Act. Criticism centered on swing states such as Kentucky,[5] Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. So, uh, lusting for power without knowledge or scrupulous behavior over there is really winning my heart and mind, and not making you look stupid as fuck.

So, because Insurance companies weren't able to continue grifting givernment funding Democrat attempted to starve their own voters before Thanksgiving.

God forbid we go back to a 90% tax rate on the rich and nationalize healthcare saving trillions of dollars in the process, but of course you'd pro billionare as a conserative and want to starve children, going so far as to ignore the courts to do it.

The 90% tax shit caused decades of inflation and high interest rates, cured by Reagan.
Nationalizing healthcare is retarded when better regulations and less government funding is what's required.
In the end, your stupid fantasy about nationalizing healthcare will create an NHS-like shitty healthcare system with a ridiculous tax burden.

We need to get corporate greed out of all fields. Not only should we national healthcare, but also utilities, telecoms, safety and transportation. It would save the taxpayers trillons in wasted money that just go to the billionaires and leeching shareholders who's boots you lick.

By which I mean he's a massively destructive blowhard actor with brainrot that has ruined the country and worsened the Republican party to which Republicans will be tied on both sides until they invariably start throwing him under the bus in 40 years so he can't be used against whatever rotten vegetables they're running then.
