Of course, the grift continues, and it will continue until Trump is 12 ft under! I say 12 instead of 6, because I feel the need to double down on his demise!
In addition, he has the GOP, Grifter's Only Party, serving as his accomplices and henchmen!
Wow! I thought his rubes couldn't afford eggs or bacon. Baaaahaaaa.... what a chud. Is there anything the grifter in chief won't shill?? Can't wait for the "commander in chief" rip-offs. Has there been any president sleazier than him? Nope, none more sordid. I checked.
Thanks for the breakdown! I figured it would be bad but it’s worse than I expected! I need to stop being surprised by the sheer volume of grift because it’s just going to get worse from here. I guess if he does something illegal regarding any of these assorted grifts is that there’s no way it’s part of presidential responsibilities. If it came to it, state level AGs can do something about it since the Feds won’t look (something along the lines of what NYC did to Steve Bannon after Donald pardoned him for his *we build the wall* scam.)
Alas, Trump is good at not being involved with the direct grift. He allows the use of his name, does a photo-shoot or two, maybe records a promo snippet, and he collects a large royalty check.
He has learned from Trump Steaks and Trump Vodka to not have his hands directly involved.
It is smart on his part, but any downside is whoever assembled this grift
What I’m curious about is, after the sheep have purchased all that worthless crap he’s been hawking, do they think it’ll be worth something (ex. the beanie baby craze)? Are they trading/selling this stuff at swap meets or on E-Bay?
If you shill it, they will buy it. Thanks for brilliantly expounding on this guitar grift, Geoff.
This is one of the things that continues to amaze me about Trump is how penny ante his grifts are, at least for someone who is supposedly a billionaire. I guess a few hundred here and a few hundred there add up.
All I can wish is that Jimi Hendrix was still alive to set fire to one of the things on stage in an illustration of the contempt that the rest of us feel.
Noticed that about the delivery, didja? Same here. “All in stock guitars will deliver by Christmas” but no indication of which models are in stock. That combined with the 4-6 months “pre-order” warning has me wondering when (if) the buyer will see their purchase. Trump could give Positive Grid tips on running the pre-order (but pay now) scam from the look of things.
Except that a Trump guitar would not gently weep. It would bawl, obnoxiously loud like a toddler in the middle of a tantrum, insistent that everyone pay attention to it.
Here’s some shocking 😮 news. Gibson is telling Trump to stop ripping off their design.

Gibson is (mostly) fine with cheap Chinese knock-offs but this blasphemy will not stand.
Ugh, I’ll bet the intonation is shit and the strings are a mile off the fretboard.

The Trump guitar website says its mahogany with a rosewood fretboard. The best is the MAGA 45 Trumpbucker pickups.

Anyway, TY!

I just tried to post this on FB and it got kicked back as “Spam” 😜. Fuckers!

I’m sure you knew I couldn’t let this homeless abortion slide without deeper commentary.
You know me way too well.

Immediately brings to mind “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”

Oh holy shit. Just slap the “olde” djt image label on it and they will buy it.
