Trumpster Kash Patel sells Christmas-themed camo hoodies to raise cash

Bob Brigham

It is not even Thanksgiving yet, but a former Trump administration official is hawking Christmas camouflage hoodies to benefit the "Kash Patel Legal Offense Trust."

On Trump's Truth Social microblogging website, Patel posted a link to his "Fight with Kash" to the $65.000 hoodies, which can also be purchased for four installments of $16.25.

"We only made one batch, so when they gone, they gone," he said. "Order up today, ships Dec 7 for your holiday party fun."

The hoodie features the logo of the Punisher antihero from Marvel Comics, with Trump-like hair and a Santa hat with green and red camouflage.

It pisses me right off!

It shows they know NOTHING about the character or the story.

These people are delusional and THAT shirt is atrocious.

So what is an "offense" fund? By the looks of that shirt, it should be the "offensive" fund.
