Say what you want about Trump, but he has never been unsuccessful at separating rubes from their money in exchange for worthless trinkets.

If Liberty University buys $300,000.00 worth of Trump straws, would the difference between the cost of ordinary straws and Trump straws count as a campaign contribution?

Does anybody know who bought these straws? How much did they cost to produce, sell and ship? We need more detail before can judge if this was successful.

We must consider the source of this information. Considering that source, there’s a very good chance that their whole straw venture was actually an abject failure.

When I awoke this AM, I had a crisis of faith, so to speak: I said to mineself “I am missing some extremely important bit of political news, without which my life will be unfulfilled. What can it be?”

Then, as if guided by some unseen force, my hands guided my browser to TPM, where I found the answer: how much money the Treason Straws brought in to the Traitor-in-Chief’s campaign.

Im Vorgefühl von solchem hohen Glück
Genieß ich jetzt den höchsten Augenblick.

Hmmm … I think you may be onto something.

Is it the Cult of EAWWC? Or perhaps the Cult of Cletus?

Does anyone believe he’s raised a half a million dollars in plastic straws in 10 days? I don’t.

If this is what grasping for straws looks like than yeah, I believe it. This is what a dying man does.

What, you don’t remember the L. Ron Hubbard model for maximizing your sales…

No. How does that work? Is that some kind of Pyramid scheme for Scientologists?

Because the people who work for him have been so honest in their past statements, I completely believe them this time too.

His books hit the top of the best-seller lists consistently.

Turns out, his folks would go out, buy up everything in sight, then turn around and ship the same books out again to stores to sell as new books.

Got caught because some bookstores (remember those things, how quaint!) put bookmarks in books when selling them, and were getting shipments of “new” books that already had bookmarks in them…

Half a million dollars worth of Cockholster straws? That’s a lot of felching. Hell, $500,000 is Lindsay Graham’s straw budget for an entire term.

They don’t make a font small enough to have it fit on his teeny weenie. Or did you think the nickname “Dickless Donnie” referred to someone else?
