Someone already beat me to pointing out that this awesome store has several ugly ties for $250 (and some even uglier ones for slightly less) but also an ill-fitting cheap suit for just $111.55, which AFAICT comes in only one size. The site is also rife with various eau de toilette type products which presumably smell like the orange marmoset himself. But I think the best deal is the lawn sign: yes, [you can get an actual authentic Trump/Pence 2016 lawn sign](https://www.amazon.com/Official-Trump-Pence-President-Yard-Sign/dp/B01JH4IHKE). This is a standard type of election sign printed on a piece of plastic film that you stretch between two wire stakes and costs about four cents to make, that you see all over America at election time, and this priceless item can be yours for only $37.99 plus $20.96 shipping – a grand total of only $58.95 plus taxes! You can stick it in your front lawn and pretend it’s 2016 again, and as an added bonus, get the neighbors wondering about your sanity from several different perspectives. But just imagine their amazement when you point out that you only paid $59.95 for it! The Trump Amazon storefront: where only the best people shop!

Clearly the real product here is the mailing list that it generates. A list of people who bought it is worth actual gold to the purveyors of swamp land, initial coin offerings, work-at-home schemes, body-part enhancement appliances, and other fine merchandise.

I can’t remember her wearing anything that ever made me snicker, and alllll of her many siblings do. They can’t get together without one of them making me think “Time to see the eye doctor.”

Yep, Melania dresses just fine for the job at hand. Whether it be soft core porn or FLOTUS. Good taste in clothing, not so much for husbands.
