It’s hard to believe that Donald Trump’s Inauguration Day is almost here. And while many people are focusing on the actual politics, I always have a different angle. Working in this industry, I know one thing is true—it’s all about the promotions. During the election, I took a look at some of the weirdest political promotions. Now that Donald Trump is set to take office on Jan. 20, there’s plenty more weird political promotions centering around Inauguration Day.
To help you stay in the loop, I rounded up the 12 weirdest Trump Inauguration Day promotions.
Apparel
1. Inauguration Raglan
If your political promotion doesn’t combine Inauguration Day with Trump’s show The Apprentice, is it even worth buying?
2. Best Day Ever T-shirt
For those who value Inauguration Day as on par with their wedding day or college graduation, this one is for you.
3. Deal With It T-shirt
Because this election was all about tough “love”.
4. President No. 45 Beanie
For people who want to support Trump but maybe don’t want anyone to know, there is this beanie, which conveniently leaves off his name.
Food and Drinkware
5. Limited Edition Inauguration Coffee
You’ll need an extra caffeine boost to make it through Inauguration Day.
6. Official Inauguration Pint Glasses
For just $25, you can toast the new president with these snazzy pint glasses.
7. Official Inauguration Koozies
Your celebratory beer will taste so much better when your hands are kept warm thanks to these koozies.
8. Official Inauguration Cups
It’s not a party without these red cups.
Other
9. Trump Inauguration Day Ornament
It’s an investment in Holiday 2017, but an investment you won’t regret.
10. Inauguration Day Wood Slice
I’m not really sure what the significance of a wood slice is. Perhaps it’s an homage to George Washington, but either way, this is a keepsake for the books.
11. Tickets to the Resistance
On the other side of the coin, we have political promotions taking a different avenue.
12. The Trump House Pillow
Perfect for all your home decor needs, these Trump House pillows deserve the most prominent spot on the couch.
The word “weird” would suggest something out of the ordinary. Other than the two promotional items which were offered by the opposition, all of the other items were the usual souvenir items which people would want to keep as a remembrance of an important event. Any of these items could be shown to a child without fear of embarrassment. Some of the signs and clothing which were on display at the Women’s March on Saturday, had just the opposite effect. Will you be writing an article on those items also?
I would suggest that an anti-Trump bias was the basis for this article. Are we to expect more Fake News in the future?
