1. Ha, he won't cut up his suit. He'll just get some scrap material from the tailor.

Perfect opportunity for him to lie and scam. $99 each? How can they afford it when the economy is so bad

[MiHale]

3. It'll have Harris cooties on it...he probably would burn it afterwards...

BUT…a chance to grift?

[Oopsie Daisy]

19. My thoughts too! In a way it reminds me of that televangelist who promised to touch and pray over *

* the "prayer cloths" (3" x 3" swatches of cheap fabric) that needed to be returned with the prayer request AND MONEY!!

Robert Tilton... that's the one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tilton#Ministry_and_fundraising_scandal

The investigation, assisted by Trinity Foundation president Ole Anthony and broadcast on ABC's Primetime Live on November 21, 1991, alleged that Tilton's ministry threw away prayer requests without reading them, keeping only the accompanying money or valuables sent to the ministry by viewers, garnering his ministry an estimated US$80 million a year.[1]

31. $99 x 15, no less. So for $1500 you get some threads of unknown origin.

And you're right. He won't destroy that suit. He'll want it for his "library" or he'll try to get the Smithsonian to show it.

[Moostache]

2. Just how damaged as a human being do you have to be to WANT that????

I mean really... is that conversation starter in your mind?
"Do you see my piece (allegedly) of Trump's debate suit?"

If I EVER was in close proximity to ANYONE that thought or said anything remotely similar to that, I would schedule an intervention to try and save them from hurting themself or others... I also would make damn sure that THEY were not getting a Christmas card!!!

[Ocelot II]

7. I hope nobody I'm related to or whom I would even have anything to do with

would buy something like that, because I'd have to bite my tongue until it bled to stop myself from saying "Are you out of your fucking mind? Why would you spend even a dime on something that stupid? What the actual burning hell is wrong with you?" And then I'd back away slowly and delete them from all directories and unfriend them from everything.

15. People having been buying religious relics for centuries.

MAGA is a cult. Of course they'll buy it. And like all religious relics, a lot of them are incredibly fake. Produced specifically to separate gullible people from their money. The only difference between this and Christian relics, is that Christian relics are older, and have a acquired a patina of authenticity.

[tanyev]

23. Yes. Then they can pray to the scrap of the One True Suit.

[C_U_L8R]

4. Parfum du Trump

It seems magats actually enjoy the smell of filled diapers.

[33taw]

5. or 6 for $300

[Vinca]

6. Can tiny chunks of the bloody bandage be far behind?? What a fool.

[Ocelot II]

11. His cult would treat them like holy relics.

Probably encase them in a jeweled golden urn and put them on a home altar where they could pray to them, like the Shroud of Turin or a piece of the True Cross.

[Ocelot II]

8. When is he going to start selling stool samples?

[Turbineguy]

40. One could make a fortune

selling pieces of his used diapers!

[Deminpenn]

9. Grifters gonna grift

nt

[Buns_of_Fire]

10. (Certificate of Authenticity add $29.95.) nt

[Initech]

12. If you have the money to buy this stupid shit, please stop lecturing us about how bad the economy is, OK?

It's doing pretty well if you have the $99 needed to buy dumb NFT images of Trump holding invisible fake money.

[magicarpet]

13. Soon trDUMP will be cutting off chunks of his shitty Depends and selling those as Presidential,...

.... campaign collectables. $200.00 extra if you want a clump of genuine trDUMP shit included in the rememberance package.

[oasis]

39. The chick who wore the "grab my p" t-shirt

just might jump at that offer.

[dalton99a]

14. SPECIAL SALE: Pieces of Trump's underwear @ $9.99

plus shipping and handling

[Ocelot II]

16. $10 extra for pieces with authentic brown streaks.

[Irish_Dem]

17. He thinks he is a saint selling his own relics.

His ego knows no bounds.

[LuckyCharms]

18. Instead of putting a piece of his suit on the physical card...

He should put a piece of his ear.

I would buy that.

[Rob H.]

20. They probably smell like B.O., makeup, and cheeseburger farts nt

[Arne]

21. I would pay a hundred bucks for a piece of his Pancreas.

[bif]

22. Is the The Onion?

Hard to tell these days.

[Karma13612]

24. I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

25. What's weird? The people buying these. (n/t)

[John1956PA]

27. $99 is the cost of each DIGITAL card. The PHYSICAL card is . . .

. . . provided to a buyer if fifteen or more digital cards are purchased.

Sorry, I meant to reply to the OP.

34. The Whole MAGA Cult Is Weird......nt

[Ocelot II]

26. Selling this crap is beyond weird. It's almost like the Vatican selling holy relics.

"For $99.99 you can have a toe bone of St. Dingleberry for your own home altar!" (Of course it did sell indulgences, which got Martin Luther all worked up, but that's another story). It's beyond weird that a presidential candidate would sell this crap. I don't recall this sort of thing being done, ever, by any politician. There's always been basic campaign merch - buttons, coffee mugs, caps, t-shirts - but selling things that are (allegedly but probably not really) connected to the person, very much like a religious relic, is super weird. Obama never tried to sell pieces of his infamous tan suit, or the jacket he was wearing in the situation room during the raid on Bin Laden's hideout. Even Reagan, whom I did not like at all, didn't hawk pieces of the clothes he was wearing when he was shot (and he had enough worshippers that some people might have bought them). W didn't sell pieces of his famous flight suit. Only Trump does this, and it's deeply weird and unspeakably tacky. And weird is piled upon weird because people do buy these things; otherwise he wouldn't be doing it. WTAF is wrong with someone who does that? At least holy relics like the Shroud of Turin have a patina of - if not authenticity - antique interest and reverence, if that's your thing, because they're so old, but turning a scrap of cloth that might have touched Trump's sacred orange hide (but probably didn't) into the equivalent of a holy relic is bizarre, idolatrous, and weird. But it's not a cult, right?

[tanyev]

38. Of course, Trump's always been this way and there have always been fools that fall for it.

The really horrific thing is how many once-respected elected Republicans and party leaders jumped on board to support and enable him, and continue to do so.

[Botany]

28. So for $1,485.00 you can get a piece of Donny's suit?

Please MAGA people spend your money on this bargain. And that money won’t go to
supporting other candidates but right into Trump’s pockets guaranteeing a down ballot
wipe out.

[Wednesdays]

29. PT Barnum: "There's one born every minute." nt

[badhair77]

30. I'm making myself dizzy by shaking my head.

Every time I think he’s reached a new low I realize I’m not even close.

[Conjuay]

32. The old sniff test should be able to tell you if it is the real McCoy

Trouser samples require a hazmat suit

[oasis]

33. "If You're Not Scamming You're Losing"

Trump’s lifetime motto.

[Tribetime]

35. Let him try to sell his suit after V.P. Harris debates him

He will have to pay them to take it.

[struggle4progress]

36. "Buy at least 15 of our Series 3 Digital Trading Cards for only $99 each, and

we'll give you a free intelligence test!"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

37. Wait till he starts selling his stinky stained shorts

MTG will probably by them.

[Wounded Bear]

41. I wonder how many acres of cloth he'll sell to the rubes...

I remember a comment from a historian once that said there were probably enough pieces of the "True Cross" floating around Europe in the Middle Ages to build a small cathedral. Scammers gonna scam.

[Tbone421]

42. He is as low class as it gets. What an embarassment for the country.

[Marthe48]

43. If he could bottle his bodily fluids

And sell it, he'd have magats lined up to buy it.
