So the yahoos who are shelling out big bucks for junk are, in effect, paying for his lawyers to defend
any of the growing number of lawsuits.

They have NO IDEA what's going to happen to them if that tax bill manages to pass and they'll be fishing in their seat cushions for loose change.

Those hats and ornaments are crap that can't be resold at a swap meet.

I've got a commemorative coin from Reagan sitting at home in a file cabinet (along with the letter congratulating G-Grandma for reaching the ripe old age of 100 back in 1984) that I ended up with as the executrix to my Grandmother's estate in the late 90's - no one wanted it, not even in Orange County, CA when I put household items I couldn't find homes for up for consignment (and later eBay in the mid 2000's) to settle the estate.

And it's still not worth the postage to send as a Holiday gag gift to my BIL who is basically a real-life Alex Keaton gone to fat as a district bank manager.

They're spending money on crap that brings less happiness than a Pixar Movie night with the kids. Their loss.
