- Uh. Whilst I want to agree, I'm going to need more thinking steps here
  
  Rich people and organizations want to give money to trump, but dont want it to be publically available that the money was given
  Trump puts out garbage books, nfts, shoes, whatever merch
  Interested parties buy them all as an easy way of him doing "legitimate business" that looks innocuous
The Trump Touch, much like Midas's golden touch, turns everything into gaudy trash.
- Nah missed Midas turned everything into actual gold, something with intrinsic value. Trump turns Chinese shit into (fake gold) plated Chinese bullshit, like his stupid fucking penthouse which would be worth more if it weren't decorated to look like it was done by hedonism bot post lobotomy.
I know people that buy this shit because they are investment brained and think it will appreciate in value as a collector's item.
I am going to search for Trump T-backs now.
edit: disappointed
curiously, holiday spending doesn't seem to have changed much this year, from last year. (i would argue inflation isn't really relevant due to how people perceive it)
truly fascinating, how these people can't afford shit like, eggs, or, food, but manage to buy apple devices just fine.
Eggs are straight up $7 right now near me. It's insane...
- Yep. We were joking that no one is egging houses anymore because it's up to 50¢ a throw. It's like carnival prices.
