Americans tuning into Fox & Friends Monday morning may have borne witness to a commercial for a product called the Trumpy Bear, a stuffed bear with a white collar, white cuffs, red tie and Trumps trademark coif. You can also pull an American flag out of the bears ass.
God bless America, and God bless Trumpy Bear, declares an elderly woman holding the bear in front of an inflatable American flag. The setting is appropriate. Trumpy Bear was born on Flag Day.

Trumpy Bear is loved by all. Michael Ruffino, a former Marine, is proud to carry Trumpy Bear on the handlebars of his motorcycle. Golfers save it a seat in their carts. Even the toughest guys will love Trumpy Bear, the comically baritone voice narrating the commercial assures skeptical viewers. Trumpy Bear even comes with a certificate of authenticity that confirms you own an original Trumpy Bear and not a cheap imitation. It can be had for only two payments of $19.95, plus shipping and handling. Groceries can wait, patriots.
Trumpy Bear has been around since 2017, and the commercial that aired on Fox News Monday morning is a shortened version of the original, which also features law enforcement officers, firefighters, small business owners and others giving testimonials. American industry once ruled the world, and now were back on track again, says a construction worker. Thanks, Trumpy Bear.

Its difficult to tell whether the over-the-top Trumpy Bear commercials are intentionally ludicrous, sincere appeals to Trumps base or both. Rolling Stone emailed the manufacturer in search of sales numbers, but has yet to hear back. The 22-inch-tall bear has been spotted at at least one of the presidents rallies, though, which means someone has to be buying it.

Or, you can get this from Vermont Teddy Bear for 90 bucks:
Imagine what you can do with that.

(82,849 posts)Yeah, I'm just waiting for the testimonials, a la the three wolves t-shirt. The three wolves t-shirt was some anodyne bit of lupine homage featuring three wolf heads over a full moon background, available from Amazon. Some wise guy wrote a review of the shirt, extolling its virtues in making him more desirable to the ladeez, and a meme was born. Others wrote reviews how the t-shirt cured their stuttering, brought them untold riches, lowered their golf score while raising their bowling score. It got pretty goddam funny.
I'm hoping the same fate can befall Trumpy Bear.
