Trump has been under mounting criticism for failing to bring down inflation, with Americans continuing to report high prices on groceries and essentials. Even as Trump insists he has lowered costs, his campaign’s Black Friday fundraising emails undercut that message by promoting so-called “deal” prices that were actually higher than the prices listed on his own merchandise website.

In one email, the Trump team claimed the price of a red MAGA hat ornament had been “reduced” to $37, though the official campaign store simultaneously listed it for $30. The email claimed the MAGA trinket new price was a “30% off deal.”

    They should have waited until after Black Friday and Christmas to tell people about this scam.

    Let the daft cunts waste even more of their money buying crap being sold by a paedo before telling them they’ve been scammed.

      This takes an ounce of smarts to understand and as Trump has stated, people with smarts don’t like him.

      This reporting is as likely to increase their purchases than not. A “if they could read” moment, except they wouldn’t be upset, they’d say he’s clever for it.
