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.
