Trump selling $50 American Dreamer hat

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 02/28/18 09:54 AM EST



The Trump campaign store is now selling an “American Dreamer” hat for $50, monetizing one of President Trump’s signature lines from his State of the Union speech last month.

The hat reads “American Dreamer” across the front, has an American flag stitched onto the side and “#MAGA” stitched onto the back. The hat is “proudly made in the USA,” according to the website.

During his State of the Union speech last month, Trump defended his administration’s hardline stance on immigration, declaring “Americans are dreamers, too.”

The comment was an allusion to the “Dreamers” who benefit from the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Those are individuals were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, and are able to stay and work here without fear of deportation.

for a one size fits all piece of polyester crap manufactured in China that they could buy for $5-$10 in any truck stop with a different slogan? I guess they must, or Trump wouldn't continue to fleece the sheep.
