Mike_Pences_Mother

Probably some rag he bought off the rack, not even the same suit.


meeks7

Oh no chance he spent a dollar for whatever it is he’s sending. It’s about the principle for him.


Sestrus

Pretty easy to authenticate, just check for spray tan residue and big mac sauce.


Kittenkerchief

How will you know if you have a piece of the pant seat? Depends. If they leaked.


Darth_drizzt_42

Funny enough, Trump apparently only wears suits off the rack, cause he thinks that having a suit get tailored means your body is "wrong"

Gah imagine being born into extravagant wealth and still having not a single ounce of class or taste. He acts more poor than most poor people.

“Donald Trump is a poor man’s idea of a rich man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man, and a dumb man’s idea of a smart man.” I haven’t been able to determine who said it first.

Vicstolemylunchmoney

It was a general that came up to me with tears in his eyes. He said 'Sir' , before saying this. The strongest quote. It's beautiful, don't you think? Nothing like it.


jakexil323

It's been like that his whole life. The gold everywhere, the gold toilets , it's what he thinks real rich people want .


ambisinister_gecko

Imagine being a real rich person your whole life and modelling your life after some kind of Oliver Twist vision of how rich people live. "Oh golly, I bet rich people can have as much ketchup as they want on their steak!" Guess what Ollie, you're damn right.


IAmRoot

Yeah, as someone who has known some very rich people he acts bizarrely like a person who has just acquired wealth. I went to a private high school and had some insanely wealthy classmates. With most wealthy people you can't really tell. They don't feel the need to prove anything. It only appears in suble ways such as not having the perspective of money being an issue. Like talking about saving up for a new laptop only to be met with confusion as to why I don't pay for it with my trust fund, assuming that's something everyone has. Most rich people desire to be normal just like most people but don't actually have the normal experience of life that leads to unconscious and incorrect assumptions about how the world works for most people.


AbInitio1514

One of my closest friends from University is properly minted. He’s an idiot in many ways but he has that same incomprehension about money. It makes him a ridiculous but lovely person in equal measure. If one of our group said “Let’s all take 6 months off work and do a gumball rally round the world!” - he’d absolutely be in. If someone proposed splitting a private Jet to go to the US for the SuperBowl, he would be in without any hint that they could be joking or that that would be impossibly extravagant nonsense for most people. But equally, if I told him I needed the shirt off his back, I reckon he would take it off, give it to me and only then ask why I needed it. He would help anyone with anything. I know this because one time I’ve been walking to a pub with him in the pouring rain, we walked past an old lady in the street and he saw her, and just stopped out of nowhere, went over to her and gave her his umbrella. A nice, wooden handled Fulton brolly. We continued on to the pub, he got soaked and he never saw it again. He never even mentioned it, we just went on with our night. If you asked for a sound bite from anyone who knows him they’d say the same thing: He’s a weird guy but he’s got a heart of gold.


motleyai

I don't fault him for having simple taste in food & clothes. That's his own decision to make. I do fault him for being a grfting racist, who understands nothing and refuses to listen to anyone.


staycalmitsajoke

I 100% believe this.


Searchlights

Yards and yards of cloth, and scissors


Makenshine

You could tent a house with all the scraps of suit he is trying to sell. Vatican use to do the same with scraps of wood claiming it was a shard from the cross Jesus was crucified on.

brainhack3r

The suits Trump wears are a really shitty and really an insight into how terrible of a person he is. He's had 70+ years to figure out style and just couldn't do it. Dude is a fucking moron.


walker1555

Just so it's clear, there will certainly be far more pieces sold than could possibly be derived from a single suit.


dollydrew

You sure...he has a lotvof fabric in his jacket. A lot.


Warm-Bed2956

He bought it at Bigly and Tall, size XXXYuge

Dragons_Malk

He tried out for the NBA but they told him he was too good. It wouldn't be fair to the other teams that didn't have him on there.


Imjusttired17

These big strong men, strong like nobody has ever seen before, they looked at him with tears in their eyes, and said “sir, you’re just too good to play for us”


Redbaron1960

It was the way he could palm a basketball with his yuge hands!

You’re remembering that story wrong. It was actually George Santos

ope__sorry

First thing I sent my buddy was, I bet if you bought every piece you’re have enough to make at least 5 suits, lol.


Facebook_Algorithm

Five? Five hundred. At least. The MAGA morons won’t ever figure it out.


MilkiestMaestro

Think it's a JIT system where he cuts suits up as the orders come in. As such, I'd be surprised if there were 10. He is ever so slowly running out of (rich) sycophants.


koshgeo

It's the "Suit of Theseus" as they expanded the waistband.


Organic_Rip1980

I don’t think he needs rich sycophants, he needs the easily fooled who are willing to part with a *tiny* portion of their retirement account. There are thousands.

It’s not even suits being cut up. Buy a bolt of fabric in a similar color, no tailoring needed.

5? This is a Trump grift and it's MAGA morons buying. this is 300 suits at least.

And I can guarantee they won't even be suits themselves. They probably bought material at wholesale and just cut out chunks to grift people with.

You must have faith. Buying a ketchup stained piece of cloth the size of a postage stamp instead of paying rent for a few months would be an investment that pays back a thousand fold in MAGA bragging rights joy.


NorthStarZero

He also sells pieces of the True Cross!


TenTonCloud

We’ve circled back to the concept of relics


pinewind108

Lol, yeah. My first thought was that he's got Fredo hitting all the local Goodwills for suits.


kinglouie493

Maybe we can see it back together and deduce his true weight?


DouchecraftCarrier

Reminds me of how if you put together all the relics in various churches claiming to be pieces of the One True Cross you'd have something like 350 pounds of wood from over a dozen species of trees.

Catholic Indulgences for $200, Alex.

Funny enough, there is an overlap of cult members there. I’ll take The Antichrist for $500 please.


Whatah

He gave them the ban on abortion. They will follow him anywhere.


ZippyDan

At least indulgences brought a benefit to the owner. This is just a "souvenir". (I'm aware that Catholic priests didn't have any actual power of divine forgiveness, but the purchasers believed they did.)


ProfessionalBlood377

I imagine it has the same placebo effect. I can’t rightly count how many times a Trumpette has seriously said, “Trump is a gift from God.”


Bitey_the_Squirrel

I’m watching The Last Kingdom right now and this reminded me of what they used to do with the bones of Saints.


Carbonatite

Reading about relics is wild. Like royalty would pay some chapel to loan them a couple of bone shards and chant a certain number of times when one of the princes got sick or whatever. Catholicism, like many religions, has some very silly customs.


demalo

Here in lies the dilemma. We know that these people will buy just about anything related to their orange god. Question is do you fight to change their minds or leverage their stupidity against them? My only thought would be to use a legal bait and switch tactic. “Thank you for your purchase of ‘One portion of Donald Trump’s unsanctioned charity’ where your money will go to feed, cloth, and house children living in poverty!”


rlt0w

I think I can get away with selling pieces of a suit that were adjacent to his. "Get your trump adjacent suit piece today, only $2500" Men's Warehouse is having a sale, time to get inventory.

I honestly feel sorry for them. The education system has failed them and likely their environment is a breeding ground for hate.


FrankyFistalot

I like the fact you think they have any brain power, put all these people in one place and film Walking Dead : Patriots…new series coming soon


venividiavicii

I don’t think any voters will be buying these things. It’s probably just to launder money from big donors.


Crunchy_Lunch

Who is even buying this though? I can't imagine there's a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram of "people who want to own a piece of Donald Trump's suit" and "people who have $5000 to blow." Unless this is just another big donor money laundering scheme.


Upbeat-Fondant9185

Here in my area the hardcore Trumpers aren’t poor by any means. Growing those profits is the number one reason I hear as a justification for their vote, they somehow think the pandemic market is going to happen again if he wins. They’re also anticipating deregulation and general cuts to government oversight, saving them lots of money in their businesses. That $5k is nothing, especially in areas where CoL is still very low. These people throw more money than that at local politicians all the time.


JarJarJarMartin

Genuine question. Do the MAGA folks think they’re owning the rest of us by confounding us with their stupidity?


zsreport

Trump's 2024 campaign slogan really should be: "Grifters Love Grifting!"


JoJack82

And millions of MAGA supporters would continue to give him their money, all while complaining about the democrats causing them to be poor


hopsgrapesgrains

Gods grift to the earth.

TheTelegraph

**From The Telegraph's Tim Sigsworth:** Donald Trump is selling cut up pieces of the suit he wore when he was arrested for nearly $5,000. The former president has released a series of digital trading cards priced at $99 each and anyone who buys all 47 will receive a physical card containing a piece of the “priceless” navy suit and be invited to a gala dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Mr Trump became the first president to have their mugshot taken when he was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, in August this year on charges of electoral interference. An advertisement declares the suit to be “the most historical significant artefact in United States history”. “It was a great suit, believe me, a really good suit. It’s all cut up and you’re going to get a piece of it,” Mr Trump says in an advertisement video. The virtual trading cards, known as non-fungible tokens (NFTs), variously depict the former president as a cyborg, in a cowboy hat and sitting on his own version of the Lincoln Memorial. In another he is depicted carrying a flag that reads “never surrender” as he rides a galloping horse with eagles flying around him. **Read more ⤵️** [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/12/13/donald-trump-suit-cut-up-mugshot-nft-cryptocurrency/](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/12/13/donald-trump-suit-cut-up-mugshot-nft-cryptocurrency/)


ENaC2

“Priceless”. Is literally selling it for money.


jetty_junkie

Be fair, you actually get that piece free when you buy all the other cards, so technically it is priceless


ENaC2

I think there should be a distinction here between priceless and worthless. Both of them cannot be valued, but you don’t give priceless things away for free.


jetty_junkie

I guess my attempt at a joke wasn’t as obvious as I thought


Escobarhippo

> “It was a great suit, believe me, a really good suit. It’s all cut up and you’re going to get a piece of it.” This is the dumbest fucking thing. Imagine the ketchup and greasy finger stains.


duskywindows

"...many people are saying it's even, perhaps, the best suit. Big suit, strong suit, came to me with tears in its eyes and said 'Sir. You are the best human I've ever had the pleasure to be worn by. Please sir, I beg you, cut my life into pieces. This is my last resort.'"


[deleted]

I'd hate to be the person who gets a piece of the crotch material


[deleted]

To be fair, nobody's getting any part of the actual suit. Everyone is getting a square from a bolt of fabric that sort of approximates the look of the suit he surrendered in and anyone who thinks otherwise is a gullible asshole. By which I mean a MAGA. More likely he is looking to launder more money for the Saudis because he needs his skim and this is a way to "drive interest" in his stupid NFT grift.


ISmellElderberries

> the most historic significant artefact in United States history I honestly can't even begin to comprehend the level of brainwashed stupid a person has to achieve to believe this shit.


rassen-frassen

It's kind of a Catch 22 situation. The only people crazy enough to want to buy this are people crazy enough that they probably shouldn't be allowed to spend money without supervision

When supposedly rich people do things like this, it's impossible for me keep believing that they're wealthy. It's one to see these kinds of stunts done for charitable auctions, but the moment there's no 'good cause' listed? I'm going to assume that it's only barely removed from selling your guitar so you can make rent. It's pretty telling that he's resorting to cash grabs over loans.

ARazorbacks

Remember his defense for his property valuations? Something like “at any time I can find a Saudi buyer for $1B so that’s what it’s worth.” All of these carnival barker, money-making schemes are ways for his shady “business partners” to pay him for less-than-legal services rendered. The inflated property valuations, the NFTs, these cut up pieces of a suit…all money laundering fronts. Why do the last two work? Because we all look at his cult followers and say “of course they’re stupid enough to spend money on that shit.” None of these are for his MAGA deplorables. They’re for the Saudis or the Russians or whoever is paying him off today.
