Get your own Trump baseball for just $88!
- Thread starter Taffy Lewis
- Start date
I'm confused. Does the baseball represent something really bad? Obviously I'd never buy this and I think that all trump merchandise is horrible and I can't wait to see him and his administration out...but is there something I'm missing in the design of the baseball itself? Or is it just making rounds on Twitter because it has his name on it?
sorry I don't mean to sound so misinformed

About the 88 thing... I know the heil Hitler reference but it's also a really common request for donations. I got like 100 emails in may asking me to donate $88 to biden.
I just searched $88 in Gmail and I have like .. over 100 emails asking me to donate $88 to various causes/campaigns all from act blue. I'm not sure but $88 is this number all over donation things

Well that's clearly a typo, even for a special branded one $88 is beyond outrageous for a baseball.
I'm sure the site will updated to its correct price of $14 soon.
Dang it, lol, beat me to the joke by seconds.

Robot or human?

Over 600% markup for a single shitty etching of "Trump" on a baseball. Plus the significance of the number 88 as stated above
Setting aside the whole "88" thing for the moment: why the hell is this being made by a luxury golf brand?

trump jumped the shark to lifestyle brand dunno how you missed it
I mean, after that White Power tweet, there's no point in them pretending anymore.
I believe campaigns/ donation drives often request donations just under rounded numbers, the idea being that people will round up to the nearest 'big' number. "Yeah, I can afford to donate $27. Guess I may as well make it $30."
I haven't heard of $88 in particular being a common number, but I would imagine in most cases its innocent. Trump Tweeted a video of one his supporters yelling "White Power" at protestors thing morning. If you want to assume this is an accident I suppose that's your prerogative.
Probably so one of the companies who supplies his properties can benefit.
Reminds me when the Department of Homeland Security posted an article with 14 words in the headline about securing the border and offered this statistic about asylum claims:
"On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum."
"On average, out of 88 claims that pass the credible fear screening, fewer than 13 will ultimately result in a grant of asylum."
""Bu bu but Obama's tan suit was $666 at Men's Warehouse!"
I'd pay any amount of money to peg Trump right between the eyes with a fastball.
Oh, I've known that since 2015. You'd just think they would aim for something that looks like the real deal instead of my dogs' chew toys.
There are plenty of actual real actions that he and his administration have taken (such as, you know, retweeting a video of a man yelling, "White power!") without the need to break down the price of a random item on his store as some secret Nazi symbol.
Looking for one minute shows random pricing on many items:
$98 - heather shirt
$22 - luggage tag
$46 - cardholder
$66 - cologne
$22 - face mask
$128 - clutch

Its not secret, quite common, and is well known enough that someone should have told them to change it.
88 bucks? He really shows you how much he thinks the base are suckers with a price like that.
And they keep proving him right.

I still think I could have put my Trump check with his signature on sale for a much higher price than the check is worth to some dumb fuck Trump supporter.
To think all this dog whistling shit has disseminated this far into common knowledge. No wonder they are using boogaloo and corrupted memes.
Will he throw it to me?
Why did I think "has Trump ever even played baseball?" had a simple, normal answer
"Trump baseball" is 14 characters including the space. I don't know if this was intentional as well or we are all becoming crazy looking for patterns now. I feel like I am going insane with this administration.
Just sayin', I think the way that "TRUMP" is positioned on the baseball is attempting to evoke an SPQR Roman laurel-leaf type of motiff. And we all know White Supremacist types have an unhealthy obsession with the Roman Empire. The color choices match with someone trying to evoke a Roman SPQR motiff as well. Note the lack of traditional white/red color scheme as an option.
Wouldn't be surprised if it had 88 stitches in it.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but fuck it, nothing surprises me now.

It's more than that. Black leather with Red Laces is a specific Nazi Skinhead thing.
I posted this eaarlier but couldn't really take screenshots.
I don't think the $88 thing is intentional, I think $88 is a number that for whatever reason gets thrown around a lot in campaign fundraising. For some perspective, since June 7th, I have at least 50 emails from the Biden campaign asking me to donate $88.
Most of them have my name in the subject or body, but I've got hundreds of emails like that above.
Since April 24, which is the first day I donated to the Biden campaign, I have.... at least 157 emails asking for $88 donations or multiples of $88.
$88... 176... 88 x 7 = 616...
