Clinton's Facebook page says 'Sign Up'; Trump's says 'Shop Now'

Most politicians -- including rival Hillary Clinton -- have a big button at the top of their Facebook page that says "Sign Up." Clicking on it takes people to the campaign website so they can enter their email and phone number to get involved.

But that's not what Trump's Facebook page emphasizes.

The big button on his page says: "Shop Now."

When you click on it, it takes you to his campaign store (shop.donaldjtrump.com) where you can purchase "Make America Great Again!" and "Trump Pence 2016" shirts, hats, stickers, buttons, etc. Prices start at $5.

1. You can buy his $11.00 book

for a ridiculous price too.

2. He's trying to sponge money off his supporters

So he can pay his "loan" back to his self. He knows he hurt the trump brand and future outlook of his companies so he's scrambling for cash.

4. I think this is all going to end up like the "chicken" scene in "Rebel Without A Cause."

Unless the RNC removes him (not 100% impossible at this point, but I believe they would have to cite "extraordinary circumstances" and re-write their own rules in an "emergency intervention&quot , I think he is going to race the car to the edge of the November cliff and bail out with whatever cash he's managed to accumulate.

He's already citing a "rigged election." They had to call in Rudy Giuliani to beg him to stop bashing the Khan family. He's insulting babies and their mothers at rallies! I personally believe that the only way Hillary Clinton would ask to have a baby removed from a rally would be if the building caught on fire and she became concerned for its safety. He eats KFC with a knife and a fork! (okay, that's one of the milder ones).

The Republican party, as a whole, is throwing up their hands in a show of helpless despair and cutting a wide path around him. And I do believe that his endgame is a cash grab, just as Ben Carson got into it to sell books.

3. Maybe if Meg Whitman and her friends

Bought enough shit from Donald which they could destroy (or give away clothing in 3rd world countries), trump would just go away.
