New Online Store Is One More Way For Trump To Profit From Presidency, Critics Say

[Dulcinea]

Good-government types may look askance, but Donald Trump now has a new place to cash in on his White House role.

The Trump Organization recently started a website, TrumpStore.com, to sell Trump-branded merchandise such as T-shirts, baseball caps and coin banks.

It's not to be confused with Trump's other website, DonaldJTrump.com. That site sells a lot of the same kind of merchandise, but its profits flow to Trump's presidential campaign.

By contrast, the profits from TrumpStore.com go to the Trump Organization, which is managed by Trump's two older sons, Eric and Donald Jr., but still owned by the president himself.

1. I can not even begin to imagine if Pres. Obama had started a store. damn!

2. I would not waste money

on ANYTHING with the tRump name on. Just like the Kardasians, the tRumps are profiting from the degrading of the USA. Do they sell the naked photos of the "model" Maleria? Don Jr. and eerie Eric are still unable to make a living under their own steam. Just like their father, inherit opportunities, then destroy them. Before this nightmare of a presidency is over, I want to see the tRump brand destroyed. Maybe then they will try to sell merchandise with prison logos on?

3. Trump represents

everything that is crass and tacky in our society. We've become the Reality TV Country.

4. Jimmy Carter had to sell his peanut farm, how in

any way is this OK.

5. obviously Trump has different standards than

the rest of us, he would clean out the treasury, and Republicans would look the other way, and here we thought Sarah Palin was the grifter!

6. drumpf is the anything for a buck illegitimate president.

Never forget. drumpf and his family have no conscience.

7. Little White House trinkets might actually be the only profitable venture hes had in twenty years.
