This is the issue. Sure, we can laugh about all the ridiculous things Trump is grifting, but the fact of the matter is that they’re working. Even if they’re just money laundering schemes for foreign parties, as people seem convinced they are, they’re still selling out in hours, which is a huge win for Trump. And honestly, I know of several republicans who would gladly spend their entire paycheck on some random trump-related thing just to “own the libs.” I really think that most of these sales are legitimate, which is a very sobering window into how sad our country is right now.
