Unbelievable. I love how they add the Y at the end so they don't have to pay royalties.

(9,524 posts)11. Here's what Snopes has to say about it:
A bombastic, over-the-top commercial has left some TV viewers and internet users baffled by the authenticity of Trumpy Bear, a 22-inch stuffed animal with a striking resemblance to the 45th President of the United States.
The fearless, super-plush American grizzly, is how a booming male voiceover describes Trumpy Bear in a two-minute commercial first posted to YouTube in July 2017. Even the toughest guys will love Trumpy Bear, the voice continues, as a woman is shown carefully tending to Trumpys blond combover and red tie, which accompanies cuffs, collars and cuff-links to make up his immaculate corporate outfit.
We have received several enquiries from readers about whether Trumpy Bear is a real product or as one reader described it just great satire.
Trumpy Bear is real. The commercial is real, not a spoof (although some moments appear to have been written with tongue firmly in cheek). And the bear itself is a real product available for purchase.
