Donald Trump Now Selling 'Make America Great Again' Hat He Wore to Mexican Border at Trump Tower Store
Now for the cost of $20, you can have the "Make America Great Again" hat Donald Trump donned during his recent trip to the Mexican border to call greater attention to shortcomings in immigration laws.
Business Insider reports the hats are now on sale at a Trump Tower store in Manhattan along with other Trump related paraphernalia and will soon be offered at DonaldJTrump.com. An aide for Trump, who has officially branded the line as his campaign slogan, added that all the merchandise is being made in the USA.
Not so coincidentally, the hats are available in colors red, white and blue. At the point of sale, each hat is wrapped inside black tissue paper emblazoned with the "Trump Store" logo and placed in a special, decorative bag. The store is also selling $15 Trump campaign T-shirts and handing out "Make America Great Again" bumper stickers for free.
Since announcing he was joining the crowded GOP field for the party's 2016 presidential nomination, Trump has proven to be all about showmanship.
Several media outlets have previously reported at the time of his official, New York City announcement, Trump hired professional actors to attend the press event and paid them $50 to act like fervent supporters.
"We are looking to cast people for the event to wear T-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement," reads an email from the Extra Mile casting company, entrusted to supply actors, the Hollywood Reporter later revealed. "We understand this is not a traditional 'background job,' but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought."
Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski has denied hiring actors and claims he has never heard of Extra Mile Casting.
"Mr. Trump draws record crowds at almost every venue at which he is a featured speaker," he said. "The crowds are large, often record-setting, and enthusiastic, often with standing ovations. Mr. Trump's message is, 'Make America great again.'"
