I don't recall any previous president or candidate or their family openly licensing or selling products as are the Trumps.

If you don't have access to your own large pile of cash, and you don't sell your soul to wealthy transnational actors to fund bogus "charitable foundations", and your own party just uses you as a tool, merchandising is one of a dwindling set of remaining options. If you don't like the $245 necklace, don't buy it. Its better than those useless non-fungible-tokens.

This isn't 2008. A Taft-style campaign won't get the job done. The distinction with the Clintons is they raise money illegally, and never get tried for their illegal behaviour. Trump gets tried on scores of charges for non-crimes, and just in time for the campaign!

Yes, there is a difference in how Republicans and Democrats get treated, but it’d be better to have we don’t vs they do than we do trinkets and they do half-million dollar painting.
