Wear this Shirt and make them cry

As I See It

What does your clothing say about you? Do you try to make a good impression? Do you identify with the Woodstock era, in that you can wear what you want, and you don’t care how others react? Or, do you purposely wear something provocative to make others upset?

Maybe you live in Wisconsin, Packers territory, and decide to wear a Vikings or Bears shirt just to rile people up. Supporters of President Trump have sent out an on-line ad for a T-shirt under the heading NEW TRUMP MERCH. The pitch is for an official DOGE shirt, with the pictures of Trump and Elon Musk on the front. The sales message was “Can you imagine the looks you’ll get from radical liberals,” when you wear that shirt? “It’ll be hysterical,” they say. So, wear this shirt to show your support for Trump, and in the process, you’ll make other people mad, or possibly make them cry.

I remember the first President Bush campaigning in the 80s, on the theme of a “kinder, gentler” America. I don’t think wearing a shirt to make other people upset is what he had in mind. I’m Brad Williams.

    Consider this:

    The DOGE t-shirt is making the same sort of statement to liberals that the liberal media, through its tainted news-spin, makes to conservatives every chance it gets.

    Brad, if Trump ends up sending rebate checks to Americans from the DOGE savings would you accept it and cash it ?

      Of course he would. Liberals talk smart until they take the freebies.

    You need to pull your head from your anal passageway and breathe some fresh air you might feel better. There is room on the Trump band wagon why not get on.

    Maybe it’s a controversially take but the US President shouldn’t be selling things to his voters and trying to make a profit off them…

      Trump himself is not selling them. I’m not even sure “supporters of Trump” are selling them as the article states. There are t-shirts of all kinds for sale on amazon and other sites for simply a profit motive. Search “trump tshirt” and you will most likely find at the top of the list an anti-trump version.

      Silly article.

        OK. Trump isn’t selling these exact shirts…?

        Go to trumpstore dot com and go to the about page. Try to tell me he isn’t selling things to voters…

    Consider the T-Shirt a public service announcement, similar to any of the PR campaigns launched by the different administrations. As for Kinder & Gentler, that is what the left relied on, that the conservative, notice i don’t say ‘right’, sits back and says things like, “thank you, may i have another”. That era is over, as Bongio says, ‘cutsie time is over’.

    The debt is too big, the corruption runs too deep, science is being destroyed (no one even knows what a woman is even more, to the extent that there is a supreme court justice that can’t identify women), politicians are too stupid (some don’t even know what the moon is made of), excellence in education has been replaced with participation medals, and oh soooo many more examples.

    Kinder and gentler…..long past.
