The store sells everything from T-shirts and hats to dog leashes and gold bar-shaped coin banks branded with the Trump name. A can of Trump deodorant sells for $14, while a Trump bath robe costs $125.
Kathleen Clark, a professor at Washington University School of Law who specializes in legal and government ethics, said while the business does not appear to violate ethics standards, it is seriously not normal for a politician to personally profit from a new business based on the use of his or her name.
The idea of opening up a store to sell merchandise with your name when your name is more prominent because youre President of the United States arguably this is another example of Trump trying to benefit financially from the presidency, she said.

Trump deodorant? A product that probably makes the user smell worse.

Superglue hair spray that resists hurricane winds up to category 4 so no one will ever know you are old and half bald, plus pancake makeup that will hide everything and give you an otherworldly glowing glow. And hair dye that will make you stand out at night and even in a darkened room.

I mean, he's already grifted everything else, so what's left?

(192 posts)There is a store just for deplorables now. Yes it's sad. Sad that people will buy this crap and help enrich this howler monkey of a president. I'm holding out for Muellers White house cleaning products.

(115,610 posts)This is a rare product that is actually made in Russia. But it really turns on Eastern European chicks. Has a nasty side effect of turning your skin orange, making hands and other body parts small, and you no longer seem to be able to tell the truth.
It literally made my mouth dry and I became impotent for a week.
When France sends its deodorant, they're not sending the best. They're not sending Speed Stick. They're not sending Right Guard. They're sending deodorants that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with them. They're bringing stink. They're bringing sweat. They're bringing stains. They're smelly and they don't shower. Somebody's doing the stinking! I mean somebody's doing it! Who's doing it?
This deodorant actually makes you smell worse than not using anything at all. Plus it's made in China and turns your armpit hair orange.
This turned my skin an odd orange color. It also smells like urine. Other than that - guess it's cool.
Fake deodorant. Left me smelling like collusion.
