It's hard to describe what an over-the-top train wreck this thing is. It had to be written by a 9-year old.
Take a cheap teddy bear, glue sort of a trump wig on it and a red tie. Bang! Then run a commercial with lots of flags, bikers, ex-marines, firemen, cops, etc. telling the camera how much they love their "Trumpy-Bear".
Almost impossible to believe this thing exists, but there it was (two payments of just $19.95 + shipping and handling).

(4,858 posts)...but according to the story, some bright boy got the idea to put an ad in a few newspapers and magazines: "Send your dollars to Box So-and-So, Los Angeles"...and that was it. Nothing about giving anything in return, just send your dollars. Supposedly, he made a fortune before the Post Office shut him down...and somewhere, P.T. Barnum, Mark Twain, and H.L. Mencken were guffawing it up in the Nether Regions...

It's also a commercial that demonstrates that some actors will do about anything for money.
