As the race to raise as much as cash as possible ramps up ahead of the 2020 US election Donald Trump’s campaign has come up with a novel, if not environmentally friendly way to raise cash.
Whilst environment campaigners like The Last Plastic Straw strive to educate the public about the absurdity of single use plastic straws the Trump re-election campaign is bucking the trend and has raised US$460,000 selling, you’ve guessed – plastic straws.
Ten packs of the plastic Trump branded, laser engraved straws are being sold for US$15 on Trump’s official online store accompanied by the slogan,
“Liberal paper straws don’t work’
The idea for the straws came from Brad Parscale, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager who was irked when a paper straw he was using ripped in half.
Parscale emailed staff saying, “Let’s sell plastic Trump straws”.
If you’re that way inclined STAND WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP and buy your pack of recyclable straws today!
