Donald Trump is using his campaign as a platform to sell Bibles, sneakers, and other stuff. The revenues go to him, not the campaign. He made a video to plug “Trump watches” to his fans. The least expensive is $400, the most expensive is $100,000. The ad says they were made in Switzerland. CNN tried to trace their origin and ended up at a building in Wyoming that is the mailing address for hundreds of other businesses. Is it just another grift?
All of these corporations share the same “organizer,” Andrew Pierce, whose company serves as the registered agent and as the gatekeeper for more details about the business Trump is promoting in the final weeks of his third White House bid.
The Hollywood Reporter interviewed watch experts, and they suspected that the Trump watches are made in China and vastly overpriced.

All of these items offer an opportunity for foreign interests to contribute to Trump’s campaign while going around campaign finance law. This isn’t about the products. They are buying influence. Get out that Tide to wash all of those dollars.

And to add to pabonner’s thoughts, has any of these items been made? I can’t find a single product (not that I would buy any). I guess the Bible made in China? Economy so bad that people have $100K for a watch, NFTs, and a host of other crap. By the way…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiyGScJ7iWQ

I think this junk Traitor Trump sells online is a way to launder money from Russia and anyone else that’s rich and powerful that doesn’t want the money they donate to Trump’s fascist campaign to be easily traced back to them.

thank you for this post, Diane.
DonOLD Dump is a grifter, a liar, a cheat, an ignoramus, a traitor of the worst kind, and a stain on America.
