Did anyone notice all the MF45 gear being sold on Amazon?

[Baltimike]

So I was shopping Prime week last week and looking for more American flags....(I can't find my garden Old Glory, and wanted two more anyway) and I could not BELIEVE how I was bombarded with Occupant MF45 merch.

People might want to make hay about it being made in China...I want to make hay about how Bezos and Trump might not be each other's nemesis as it once seemed.

1. Jeff Bezos is a mercenary fuck.

2. +1. And there is a $10 billion government contract in the works

All Bezos cares about is how to increase his wealth.

3. that whole thing with his phone and the mistress and the brother

it almost seemed like theatre...

5. If I hadn't loathed him before that crap act, I sure would have after it ...

his ex-wife seems a class act and I only wish she had gotten more.

4. You didn't provide a link...

It’s possible these are Marketplace items from 3rd Party sellers.

12. It can be difficult to navigate a browser to Amazon without help.

I can empathize with your concern.

6. I just searched Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders on Amazon, and got 20 pages of results for each.

The life size stand-ups are particularly intriguing.

7. but I wasn't *searching* for any candidate...I was searching for our flag

and Occupant45 stuff kept being peppered in...and I mean campaign stuff

11. All kinds of stuff gets conflated.

I guess Amazon's algorithm figured out Trumpster's like wrapping themselves in American flags. Bezos didn't invent mercantilism, the internet, or the exploitation of labour. He just brought it all together.

13. weird...first there was "oh I searched and saw no such thing" and now

it's their algorithm. (not *you* specifically...promise) I can honestly see where it could be both, but strange considering Bezos.

I just thought it was strange, and wanted to see if anyone here experienced the same thing.

8. I just did a search for "American flag".

After 6 pages, no Trump stuff.

Did a search for “USA flag”. 2nd page has a MAGA hat with a flag (USA flag is in the item title) sold by another company, nothing else for the other 6 pages.

9. "Patriotic outdoor decor" MF45 garden flag 1st page.

10. It's a store that uses Amazon as a shipping warehouse.

They have other items in their store. They take the photo, submit the item entry and ship the product to warehouse. Amazon makes a fee from each item but it isn't an Amazon product.

A friend has a store on amazon. This is exactly how it's done. Nothing with that listing would set off any keywords to recheck it.

14. Sounds like a good way for the Russians to launder money to Red Don's campaign through Amazon
