You can call it crass commercialism and exploiting the presidency for personal gain, or you could rationalize it as a master class in muscular entrepreneurship, where dignity takes a back seat to capitalism.
Yeah, it’s not for me. Trump accomplished his thing and got us the judges. He needs to go to Joes basement and hold tight for a few. I can’t wait for a new conservative to get on that ticket.
I don't care if people buy the cologne or any other Trump branded product however I do believe that shilling those products is below the dignity of the office and may also be a violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution albeit not nearly as blatant as accepting the gift of a $400 million airliner or selling influence through the sale of meme coins.
While the pic is satire from the Onion and although he didn't actually sell it Jimmy Carter did put his peanut business into a blind trust after he took office.
I Thought his nose art was hilarious. Guess a small difference would be that his nose art would sell for undisclosed amount to undisclosed recipient. And no it’s didn’t move the needle for me. You could also point to the Clinton global initiative that just coincidentally their donors dried up once the Clinton’s no longer had influence to sell.
NO! I wasn't aware that he was just licensing his name. Really?? I wonder if he did that with all those buildings? I bet he's giving that money he makes to charity right?
yep, to avoid conflict of interest. Supposedly the farm was mismanaged and carter had a lot of debt and financial issues when leaving office. His books helped him get into the black.
So apparently you have no problem with the POTUS being a shill and grifter who has monetized the most powerful office in the world. Although the statement was originally made in a completely different context the phrase "have you no shame" comes completely to mind. No president has been as much of an embarrassment as Donald Trump not even Biden when he had difficulty putting together a coherent sentence in his debate with Trump last year.
So you think branding and endorsing an overpriced cologne as president is AOK, as long as a disclaimer is included?
You should not call names, but I find it also disgusting that people like you would support this crap. The irony is that you'd be aghast if he were a dem is not lost on the rest of us
Please quit with a fake b******* acting like you're upset that someone's labeling you as a liberal you are what you are if that offends you get over it you guys call people names all the time and label us you don't see us crying like you guys
