President Trump is a marketing genius, who plasters his name on literally everything — Trump hotels, Trump high-rises, Trump wines, Trump Steaks, Trump water, Trump mattresses, Trump vodka, Trump board games, Trump Magazine, a Trump airline and a Trump University. So why not Trump masks? On his campaign website, you can buy Trump-branded straws, beverage coolers, pens, Christmas ornaments and dog collars. But there are no Trump masks to be found on the site. Some private entrepreneurs are selling red “Make America Great Again” masks, but not Trump. It seems as though the president is missing a “yuge” marketing opportunity. He’s also missing a huge political opportunity. Imagine how differently things would have played out at his Tulsa, Okla., rally if, instead of removing signs from seats asking participants to social distance, his campaign had left up the signs and handed out MAGA masks to everyone who entered. Rather than fending off criticism about how the rally was a third empty, the arena would have been filled to its socially distanced capacity with a sea of

If every one of us wore a MAGA mask Democrats would sour on the idea of mask mandates very quickly.

If one were to wear a MAGA mask in this town, one would get a baseball bat upside the head from behind.

Any mask policy will lose it for him immediately. Even I wouldn’t vote for him...nor would I vote for Biden, I just wouldn’t vote and I’d head for the hills.

But if we mask-objectors don’t vote, he’s going to be down some serious numbers and he should reconsider this.

He needs to preach reopening, the faux pandemic is over (even WHO says that), and dump the alienating, soul-destroying masks.

He should have come out with MAGA masks months ago. One has been able to get unofficial ones at fake online Trump stores, but not at the real one. Missed opportunity.

Associate “MAGA” with covering your mouth? Dumb.

“He needs to preach reopening, the faux pandemic is over”

He also need to replace Fauci and Birx on the Task Force with some actual doctors — not politicians with “Dr.” after their names. There are some who would be excellent, and he could do it now and the hubbub would die down long before the election. And, for Heaven’s sake, have someone spend eight hours and actually VET them. Pence messed up big time with the current appointments.

Now we’ve heard it all. To get Trump re-elected, we need to wear ineffective masks that hinder breathing, promote useless virtue signaling, block normal human communication, and advance the leftist control agenda. Can’t he get re-elected by doing a better job with MAGA issues?

Totally agree. And while Pence is a nice guy, I think Trump messed up by turning this over to him. Sometimes the boss delegates badly.

I live in upstate NY just north of Tompkins county, a Marxist county. Wore my MAGA mask to Walmart, the post office and the county clerk office. Didn’t get any reaction other than possible shock that I dared to wear it. I’m a 59 yr old female btw.

I'm looking at getting either:

"Worn by force, not by choice"
Or
"This mask is as useless as the governor"

There ain’t no way I’m going to march around with a MAGA Mask covering my mouth. People (Libs) in this area are too unhinged, and would see that as a target to be destroyed. Sad, yes, stupid, yes, but nonetheless true.
If someone else wants to, then more power to them.

Try “Make Breathing Great Again” ... red with white lettering of course.

I was thinking about, “I’d rather be breathing”

I received this “Trump CHI NA” mask and started wearing it in my Cleveland, OH travels, and let me tell you, people LOVE IT!

It’s also quite comfortable and breathable.

Too late. The damage is done. Trump was, and still is, hoodwinked by Fauci.
