5 ridiculous Trump family sales ideas that got massive backlash, from Donald Jr.’s tasteless Alec Baldwin T-shirts to Ivanka’s unethical Goya Foods shout-out
- Less than a month after the tragic film set shooting incident, Don Jr. is already selling tees that say, ‘Guns don’t kill people Alec Baldwin kills people’
- Donald Trump reportedly wanted to sell US territory Puerto Rico, and hopped on rival Joe Biden’s controversial ‘you ain’t black’ comment with another questionable T-shirt
From wanting to “sell” Puerto Rico to creating insensitive T-shirts, here are some of the Trump family’s sales ideas that caused trouble instead of making money …
Donald Trump Jr.’s Alec Baldwin T-shirts
It’s reported that the star – who has portrayed former president Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live over the years – was told by the assistant director that the weapon was a “cold” gun, suggesting it didn’t contain live rounds. Baldwin was pictured distraught after the incident. While the blame has been shifted onto the prop master, some Conservative personalities have used the opportunity to get back at Baldwin for his liberal political views – including Don Jr.
Don Jr. quickly started selling T-shirts with the slogan, “Guns don’t kill people Alec Baldwin kills people”.
Needless to say, the backlash has not been pretty, with Vanity Fair columnist Bess Levin even dubbing him “sentient pond scum” for the controversial move.
