Trump campaign launches MAGA straws

[Tsing Tao]

What, am I supposed to take political opinions from cons in this forum serious? C'mon now

Not at all. I think its quite courageous of you to come out and admit what we all realize anyway - that you're just here to troll for responses.

Good on you.

If punching holes into poorly written arguments with logic and facts is trolling, then a troll I am

No, posting worthless threads denouncing straws as campaign merchandise, then saying you don't care and only posted it because it gets a rise out of conservatives (which didn't happen anyway) is what makes you a troll.

Because these things are national security issues or something. What a joke. Put tariffs in or don't.

'Liberal paper straws don’t work': Trump campaign starts selling plastic straws

WASHINGTON – The Trump campaign says they have a plan to make straws great again.

Brad Parscale, President Donald Trump's re-election campaign manager, tweeted on Thursday evening, "Making Straws Great Again," along with a link to buy Trump-branded straws from the Trump campaign store.

"Liberal paper straws don’t work. STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today," says the straws' description on the Trump campaign website.

The pack of 10 straws sells for $15, coming out to a cost of $1.50 a straw. According to the posting, the straws are "Laser engraved."

It would seem there can hardly be a more appropriate item to sell to a sucker than a $15 10-pack of straws!
