Trump Dedicates White House Room to MAGA Merchandise, Including 'Trump 2028' Hats — and Shows Off Collection to World Leaders (People)

The president has created his own miniature gift shop inside the West Wing

President Donald Trump continues to put his personal touch on the White House.

This month, while hosting world leaders in the West Wing, the president showed off an area of one room that features a display of MAGA merchandise. The collection features Trump-branded books, water bottles, cufflinks and more.

And there are plenty of baseball caps with slogans like "Trump 2028" and "Trump Was Right About Everything."

The display was first seen in the background of a video when Trump welcomed the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, to the White House on Aug. 9. But it went viral after the White House hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and a cadre of European leaders on Aug. 18.

new treasures they had acquired in their rooms. It’s cute when 5 or 6 year olds do that.

he was immune if what it involved was an official act. If not, then he can shoot any random person and not be held accountable - not unless he somehow could twist it to be an 'official act.' I do agree that at this point, with the present Supreme Court, that could happen.

He's just the King of Tacky

Old high school drinking buddy from 50 years ago, out of nowhere decided to come see you, took a 20 pound shit, at 3:00 AM, clogged the toilet and flooded the whole bottom floor with raw sewage and the master water faucet broke off. The stench will never leave, like trump. Voting will not fix this hell. They are making damn sure of that. The stench of Miller will never be erased.
He has no intention of leaving. The White House will be the family castle from now on.
GQP are taking that massive shit on the nation, the septic tank was filled in 2017.

ride by with lit torches and burn it down, like they did 211 years ago tomorrow. Yeah, August 24, 1814.

There is no dignity left at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The place needs an exorcism as well.

You can bet he has hauled up an infestation of those armadillo sized Florida cockroaches up to DC.
They probably nest up around that mushroom patch, and in that nasty shag carpet on his head.
