Hey, you can buy is overpriced Chinese made shit for just 4x unit cost, instead of 8X.
Donald Trump blew off an paying respects to the WWI fallen in France. He wont be visiting Arlington Cemetery, but he is offering veterans a 40% discount on campaign merchandise at his online store.
Sam Stein tweeted: "Trump may not be going to Arlington today. But he is at least offering up a 40%, Veterans Day discount on campaign merch!"Link to tweet
Trump refused to go to Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Saturday because it was raining and he would have to take a car. The president wanted to take Marine One, and when he found out that he couldnt due to rain, he refused to go, and instead stayed in his hotel room and watched television.
Donald Trump did show up to an event on Sunday, where he whined about World War II veterans being provided shelter from the rain, but he was not.
Trump wont be going to Arlington to pay his respects, but he has shown where his real priorities are by trying to use Veterans Day to get his fans to buy more made in China Trump junk.
One of the biggest jokes of this administration is a claim that Trump cares about veterans. As of publication time for this piece, the Trump administration is still trying to privatize the VA. Veterans have been waiting for months for their GI Bill benefits, and military families continue to struggle to make ends meet every single day.

Of course, they'll probably get you on the back-end for Shipping & Handling.

Many are unable to gain decent employment, and look for a way out of their rut, so they turn to the government for a job, a cot, and three squares a day. In the process, they might get job training along the way.
Yet, they do not see themselves as government socialist employees.
I've got a Tea Party guy down the street. The government gave him a job, paid fir his education, now he's retired after 20-years and is working for a government-funded defense contractor. On top of that, he's got his kid hired by the naval yard he works at.
They hit the taxpayer-funded commissary, the tax-free exchange, get their yearly tax breaks, and complain about all of the socialists who he's paying for that work in the school, the police and fire departments, and in the township. He's fighting to get people's jobs fired. This guy has been sucking on the taxpayer teet for decades. He's a socialist!
