Looks like 590,000 fools. Why anybody would pay good money for anything associated with that grifter boggles my little mind.

Unbelievable.

And now that I think of it, how is he getting away with selling phones, watches, shoes, Bibles, etc., when you're not supposed to profit from the presidency? They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm. Oh yeah, I forgot, DJT gets away with EVERYTHING.
