A blog by Patrick Collister<\/h3>\n

In the run-up to the American election the two candidates tried raising funds and drum up support through merchandising.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both candidates had online stores.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trump\u00a0HERE<\/a>\u00a0and Biden\u00a0HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Team Trump have mugs at $30, playing cards, $25, cufflinks, $50, a range of t-shirts at $30, and caps from $25 to $45.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t \n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t\n\t

Not sure how well the colouring books showing him as a super-hero have been selling.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Joe have pretty much the same. Provocative t-shirts but also but dog and cat collars, $28, and, sadly now sold out,\u00a0fly-swatters (after a fly settled on Veep Mike Pence\u2019s head for a good two minutes in the vice-residential debate). \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naturally, neither party has been able to resist the opportunity the marketing opportunities the pandemic provides.<\/p>\n

Trump has issued a commemorative coin, celebrating\u00a0his resistance to and recovery from Covid-19. Yours for $100 at\u00a0whitehousegiftshop.com<\/a><\/p>\n

On the other side you can buy Biden hand-sanitiser for $8 – with Joe\u2019s plan for combating Covid on the label.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In China, where most of this paraphernalia is made they sold more Trump-branded merchandise to America than Joe-stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Of course, plenty of other hopefuls are piling into the election with merchandise to sell. There is some weird stuff out there.<\/p>\n

The Trump-scented candle; the Make America Great Again Christmas tree baubles, \u00a0the Donald J Trump toilet brush\u2026.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At Halloween homes could be decorated with Trumpkins. Orange on the outside and hollow inside.<\/p>\n
