    “The day God Intervened July 18, 2024” That makes me fucking sick. What a pretentious asswipe.

      It’s so weird how the right just forgets that, hey, maybe that’s blasphemy? I’m not religious, but the strangest thing is that rather than critically evaluate a claim that someone is hand-picked by god, that’s acceptable to them.

      The fact that Trump gets primacy over their religious beliefs is telling. It supports that Trump isn’t winning their vote because he’s tied himself to their religion - he’s co-opted and replaced their religion.

    Go on those Chinese e-commerce stores like Temu and it would blast Trump merch nonstop. Not because they support Trump, but because grifters buying this shit in bulk to sell and making a lot of Chinese companies rich.

    Get you some False Idol versions of the Holy Bible, blessed by the signature of a hateful non-Christian opportunist, manufactured by the “communists” he constantly stokes fear around.

    The website states that Trump’s name and image are used under a paid license from CIC Ventures, a company Trump reported owning in his most recent financial disclosure.

    lmao, he literally can’t own his likeness anymore. Elected officials permanently lose their ability to own their own likeness.

    Obama objected to companies using his likeness in advertisements, but he couldn’t ever do anything about it because he’s the president and the First Amendment lets you do whatever you want with the name and likeness of an elected official.

    Even the “Trump” trademark could be dissolved if he tries enforcing it.

    On that note, anyone could make duplicates of his book without issue, because the Bible and the Constitution are public domain, and Trump’s name and likeness can’t be protected from misuse. Lots of funny things could be done in that regard.

      When you can get them for a few pennies, why not? International consumer markets demand the fast-fashion equivalent of political props. In a year, they’ll all be in dumpsters and landfills and we’ll be getting a new batch of “DeSantis Constitutions” or “John Thune Zen Koans” or some other stupid bullshit.

    God it’s so depressing thinking that someone in China is having to make this shit day in and day out. It’s enough to radicalize me if I knew English enough to know what these were for.
